Re: General Election Tomorrow

It's worse to see that people claim to follow no political party whatsoever but will happily back a party just to annoy a certain group of people.

The new generations seem to be more welcoming to the Tories with open arms than any other age group, but there are many who, like many on here, are still opting for Labour and labeling themselves as socialists.

I don't know why anyone would vote liberal democrat, merely because they seem like incompetent politicians more than anything, not really leader material...

Seen as it is the current government that once said they wouldn't introduce top up fee's for university and then went and did it anyway at a cost of £3000 a year to me, which has risen further for next year to £3145, and then intend on taking the cap off so I shall expect further rise to figures of around £5000 a year, Labour isn't going to be getting my vote. I'd rather take my chances with the Conservatives, who at least in theory should back university students. Labour appear to be robbing everyone they can just to pay for their steady salary increases.

Whilst the Conservatives introduced the idea, and rightly so as it is fair to pay towards your future, I think it is unfair to have to pay even more when the education system, at least at this level, is not failing financially nor in its achievements.

Obviously there are going to be positive and negative elements regarding other areas for each party, and I haven't considered the ones that do not directly effect me because I would probably have to spend too much time doing so, and nobody really votes for the good of all mankind, the world isn't like that unfortunately. So basically I'm saying don't contradict my reasons with things about council tax, benefit systems, housing etc, because obviously that isn't going to change my view!
