I didn't vote and never have done since I was eligible 11 years ago. In my opinion ALL politicians tell lies whether they intend to do or not. They say they will do or say X Y or Z if they win but rarely do. Even if they do try, there is no guarantee that it will be passed by the rest of the Council or the Government. They all say one thing and then do another.

Another aspect is how many of you would vote for a close friend or relative if they stood? Irrespective of the party that they represent?

How many people vote for the same party every time? Even though they change personnel and agendas'?

the same - they all - p!55 in - pot (re-arrange sentence)

No offence to any politcal people who are reading this, because away from the murky world of deciding everybodys future you are probably very nice people, but it is full of self congratulatory people who want to feel important and wearing that particular hat seems to fulfill the criteria.

I know that if I don't vote then I can't moan about who is ruining the country this term. I know that some people have given a lot to ensure we have the right to vote. I know that if enough people say that 'I'm only one voice' then nothing will happen. But mine is only one voice. You would not agree with many of my proposals on how to improve this town and country, and likewise I don't agree with many of the offered views this time or any other time.

"We are going to improve education" every year there are record results at GCSE level so The Man assumes that they are getting easier rather than the kids are getting better.

"We are going to reduce crime" more like find a different way of recording it so that the figures appear to be shrinking when they are really rocketing.

Many many examples. And I will probably be shot down in flames by the more literary, eloquent or educated amongst you. You will not however change my mind so I will go back and bury my head back in my sand.

Good evening
