If there was a general election next year, what would you look for in a prospective government? Sorting out immigration; more money for education; bringing more jobs; stopping the wars; abolishing tuition fees???

Looking after the people of this country first, (UK), sorting out crime and yobs, a moratorium on immigration from Asia and Africa, put some distance between us and Europe in that we need to reclaim our sovereignity.

1. Defence - The first duty of Government is defence of the realm.
2. Individual liberty - The Government must uphold the freedom of the individual. IE humans rights including the right not to believe in religion or supernatural beings. This category would also include the freedom from crime against the individual, IE law and order.
3. Economy - The Government must understand how to maintain a growing economy with full employment and increasing per ca pita income etc etc. This means a free market economy.
4. The Environment - including transport and communications,
including Agriculture and fisheries.
5. Science and Technology - This would include Health care and
good Science Education ie no anti-science teaching in the education system.

Texan, ...well, American will have to do.
1. Sort out Immigration, and don't fear the repercussions
2. Pull so far out of Iraq that our troops will be closer to Mars than the middle east.
3. Leave the UN and NATO. They are relics of the Cold war.
4. Shrink the size of the federal government.

Empathy first, then ability.
Who knows what choices tomorrow will bring, or who has the best solutions. As long as they are sympathetic and clever, I don't mind differing with them occasionally.
I do have a handful of lines in the sand, but they are the obvious ones. Negative or hateful views for instance.
That's why I seldom vote.
Only a handful of politicians have had these qualities in my lifetime.

There is a very thin line between the two major parties, so the only thing that influences my vote (which I always cast) is my very long memory of growing up in the 70's and entering adult hood under a Thatcherite state.

I look for traditional values in the candidates. My next criteria is " who will best feather MY nest!" Hey, its the American way! "Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?" Ronald Reagan

1. Win the war on terror, don't ***** foot around with them if you are going to fight you fight with everything you have or don't fight at all.
2. Immigration, get it under control, and make people realize this is America and we speak our own form of English. Not spanish.
3. Health care reform to lower costs and make insurance availible for everyone

More or less I look to the issues of the day. Which will affect me at the present time.
