Much of what you wrote contains some truth, but the above is quite

I think Gordon Brown is a great leader and I hope Labour keeps him until the
election. In fact, even if they lose every single seat in the election, I
hope they still keep him for the next few elections.

Or care

What's the point of voting if all the politicians are corrupt and only
interested in lining their own pockets?

It doesn't matter who gets in the next time as the current fiscal
situation will dictate what has to be done.

Is it really a news item?

Current headlines at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/default.stm:

Briton told of execution timing

Six arrests in fall death inquiry

Met Office warning of heavy snow

Cameron runs in charity mud race

Parents' plea over abduction

Which one stands out as being totally irrelevant and unimportant?

Where's the fluffy Gordon Brown story?

Uk elections are like a restaurant menu with the 'choice' of chicken +
chips, chicken + roasties, chicken + salad...

What if you don't want chicken?

Who do we beef, fish, venison loving 'extremists' vote for?


I would vote for a donkey to get rid of Labour ;-)

Sadly that would be a wasted vote in my constituency, because getting the
incumbent Labour guy out by voting for the second party has to be my
priority.

Also I'm concerned that UKIP don't stand for anything except exerting more
power over Britain than the other parties want. It's as if they want power
for themselves but won't tell us what they want to do with it. If they
promised that they would immediately pull us out of the EU and then they
would call a second general election immediately after, that would make them
look more honest and admirable.

Not entirely true. A government legislates social as well as economic
policy so although the government will be restrained in terms of
economic spending due to the size of the deficit, it will have the
power to legislate on criminalizing or legalizing aspects of personal
behavior.
