[Margaret Pilkington]

The thing is...didn't Labour promise to work wonders in their 1997 campaign.......do you remember some of the sound bites 'Tough on Crime, Tough on the causes of Crime'.......did they deliver on these promises?
I think that the truthful answer is that they didn't.
I have no political allegiance.........I have to go on what the parties say they will do.......when these promises fail to materialise, I become disillusioned, distrustful.

I do not want to hear broadcasts where MP's from opposing parties pillory one another, and sling mud.....What I really want is someone to tell us how they are going to get us out of the mess that a succession of inept governments have got us into.

When I hear from the party that tells me what they are going to do in 'real' terms, how they are going to fix broken families, how they are going to deal with illegal immigrants, how they are going to solve the financial crisis, how they are going to clean up the sleazy parliament that they all belong to(which makes those who have done nothing wrong, guilty by association)how they are going to pare down the welfare benefits system....then I will vote for them regardless of what they call themselves......or what colour their banner is.
