Re: Go vote!

but the campaign for central ward has been a real d*ck whipping contest. who's cronies can bug the most ppl. and when one party found out so and so was supporting the opposite party - out comes the slanging.

Though apparently Tory H.Q. aren't too keen on her being selected.;)

That sounds good news to me Garinda .. 'cause I usually vote blue in the General.

Hate Liars, or more kindly, people who avoid the truth.

Katex, politicians avioding the truth never:Dnot having it :rolleyes:

I knew Ken when he was in short pants - Anne Widdecombe thought that was hilarious.
He never got to 'play out' with the rest of us -maybe that's why he turned out tory.
sheltered existence unaware of the trials of the working classes - and all that

Re: Go vote!

I think it's sometimes easy to think that your vote doesn't really count.

What brought it home to me that it does, was the U.S. election in 2000.

Millions of Americans had voted, and Bush or Gore's hope of being the most important elected politican in the world, all came down to a handfull of votes in Florida.

Every vote counts.

Count me in......just been :)

That is American slang for getting someone preggers....are you suggesting? :hidewall:

At least going along and spoiling your paper would have been more productive than nothing at all.
And to say you don't agree with any of the policies of either party is a bit of a sweeping statement.
