At least the Tories were not taxing our asses off and nannying us.

I have never voted for these Communists sorry New Labour Party. This country is turning into a Nanny /Police State and taxes are at a all time high yet public services are in crisis so where is the money going ? well we have Mp pay rises for starters and state bureaucrats and the billions that gos to there masters in Brussels. I'm a working class Tory who believes in a fair tax system that pays for our public services not PC think tanks and unelected regional assemblies and unelected bureaucrats in Brussels . But i have a problem with voting for Dave Cameron he comes across a wishy washy liberal trying to appeal to minority groups and ignoring the British majority if only he just had the guts to say he would scrap regional assemblies and cut back on the bureaucrats and have a referendum on EU membership. He would get my vote.

people voted for those wa.nkers because they are naive enough to believe equality is a good thing which new labour advocated in their plans. However the people in touch with reality and have some understanding of economics know that if equality is reached the country will stop growing, and that is why i voted Tory. However they are now as soft as Blair's cronies.

I didn't... and I never voted him the first time either. I agree with the above that at the time of John Major, Labour might have seen appealing to the public. But you might as well as voted for Screaming Lord Sutch. After all the lies under Labour, stealth taxes and insane political decisions which are destroying our country, I was dumbfounded that they got in again and are allowed to reak more havoc.

I didn't. The man's a proven liar and all the public services are a shambles despite record taxes.

I didn't vote labour, nor do I know anyone who did.
They really do tax everything but I don't think the torries would be any much better as they seem to believe in making the rich richer and sod the rest.

Because at the time the other main political parties were NO alternative. Tony Blair let me down twice, he won't be doing it again. I'm voting Green next time.

I didn't. However, if it were just a choice between them and the Tories who I remember well as doing absolutely naff all except creating scandals and feathering their own nests, there would be no contest. Lesser of two evils and all that.
