He might be from Accrington but he only thinks about his own political ambitions, he might as well come from outer Mongolia

Like many blind followers, you're living in the past.

Accrington hasn't had a M.P. since 1983.

Silly Kinnock.

As to the next General Election, it's reported this weekend that the Conservatives, and Labour, because they'd have no other choice, are considering making election promises of an in/out E.U. referendum, following polls showing growing support for UKIP.

Personally I'd need those pre-election promises to be written in the blood of those party leader's first born children...and even then I'd remain sceptical, until I'd actually dropped my completed refendum paper in the ballot box.

Re: How would you vote in a General Election?
 

Yes, the promises of a politician are about as useful as an icebucket in hell.

Re: How would you vote in a General Election?
 

isnt a u-turn when you say you will do one thing then do the complete opposite.Bit like graham jones did :rolleyes:

:eek:.Ooeerr.. easy does it mate.. don't go upsetting the natives so soon ;)

Re: How would you vote in a General Election?
 

Yes, nice to warn him.

Wouldn't want him sent to the Tower, for using the 'c-word', would we?

Re: How would you vote in a General Election?
 

I'm still for spoiling my paper, though Osbourne has now intimated that he would support a vote on our continued membership of the doomed European Union. Whilst I would support the latter, it would take a lot more than Osbourne's lip-service to rising demand for us to escape the crippling strictures of Brussels to make me think otherwise.

Re: How would you vote in a General Election?
 

Personally I think a protest vote is more effective, than spoiling your paper.

Especially as the mainstream parties are only now toying with the idea of an E.U. referendum promise, because they're fearful of the support they're losing to U.K.I.P.

Re: How would you vote in a General Election?
 

I doubt any potential MP would be much bothered about spoilt ballot papers..they are likely just whizzed in the bin after the count.

Re: How would you vote in a General Election?
 

Did your own Liberal Democrat homosexual M.P. tell you that?

He sounds a right one, but on this occasion he's probably right.

Re: How would you vote in a General Election?
 

Mr Hughes has been pretty well absent from these parts since the vote on the NHS reforms bill that was sadly lost because of him and his ilk..far more important than any vote on an EU referendum:rolleyes:

Re: How would you vote in a General Election?
 

Perhaps in London, where the streets are paved with gold, apparently.

Not according to the ordinary man, and woman up here.

If you listen to the word, on these potholed, cobbled backstreets.

It's very important.

Re: How would you vote in a General Election?
 

Well fair enough but it's hard to imagine the most pressing subject talked about in the pubs down Union Road is regarding a vote on the EU...then again perhaps you spend a lot of your time down the "backstreets" :rolleyes:

Re: How would you vote in a General Election?
 

UKIP seem to be well involved..just out of interest who is the UKIP candidate?

Re: How would you vote in a General Election?
 

Er...we don't even know, until next year, whether we'll still be a designated constituency, thanks to the changes that the boundaries commission have to make to reduce the number of M.P.s.

So we certainly don't know which candidates will be standing in Hyndburn, if we survive, or who the candidates will be if we're split up, and tagged on to Burnley, and Darwen.

All candidates will presumably have to do through the due selection processes.
