Who did you vote for?

[Piemonte]

We had the big political topic a month ago, I'm interested to see if anyone changed their minds during the campaign.

I'm not really. I'm just bored and I like polls

[Titch]

I was always going to vote labour.  I read all the manifestoes and there was only really one choice really!

[Boeta]

i was (and still am surprisingly) a month too young to vote.

i wanted labour to win but it wouldnt have mattered for who i voted for because this is tory land

[janaage]

I don't understand the fact people voted for a fella who lied to the nation.  We had an ideal chance to let these policitians know that they can't just do what they like and we as a nation blew it.  So now we have to put up with that smug, lying cocky bastard Blair.  It's a fucking disgrace.

i voted labour because my mum told me to. They did lots for the local area apparently. Rebuilt Lethbridge school, did something at Coate Water. all in all things I dont care about

How did Justin "Tara Palmer" Tomlinson get on?  Can't be bothered to look up the results.

it's the lesser of the evils. michael howard is just a prick (as with almost all tories) and charles kennedy seems like a nice enough chap but not the sort you want to lead your country.

Ok you thought he lied, personally i don't believe he did and i generally belive he did what he thought was best.  Odviously people have the right to disagree.

But would you actually have wanted any of the other parties in power??  Labour, iraq aside, have done a pretty good job really!

The conservatives are still as bad as they were and i believe if they had come in the economy would have taken an almost immediate dive as the American economy did when Bush came in.  Also the Libs Dems know full well their policies do not stack up.  Theire policies are just vote winning policies and everyone knows that they are not sustainable in their current state!

Totally agree

Iraq and taxes - hes lied on both.

I hope people who voted him in dont complain when him and Brown dream up another stealth tax and give the revenue to pikey single mums, work dodgers with 30 kids and economic migrants pretending to be asylum seekers

I feel marginally better for that.

[janaage]

Don't get me wrong I'm not a tory, and I don't believe we had much choice this time around.  I just couldn't bring myself to vote for a party/man who ignored International law and should be brought to justice.  We illegally invaded another country and that's not on.  We could have sent a message to these MP's that we don't accept that kind of behaviour but we haven't and that's what I'm annoyed about.

[Boeta]

if the iraq war was illegal then surely we have to put saddam hussain back in power

it was the right war done for the wrong reasons. id have had no problems with them saying that they were going to war to remove saddam rather than wmds

[Piemonte]

 Labour, iraq aside, have done a pretty good job really!

Have they? I must have missed that then.

Taxes up, (council tax up by national average of 70%) billions spent on reforming public services for very little if any improvement from what i can see. Billions wasted on a new army of pointless civil servants to apease the trade unions.

Yeah the economy has been managed fairly well, but credit for that should go to brown rather than blair.

[Titch]

But i think we have sent a message by narowing the majority so much.  It is about the strongest message we could send this time around.  Had we had better opposition then "maybe" it would have been different!

Also i do not belive we illegally invaded personally and if you go and see the JIC report you'll see what he saw.  If i was faced with that evidence i would probably have made a similar decision.  The main problem was that the rest of Europe were not prepared to take action for various reasons.  how many times can you tell someone you will punish them for doing wrong before you do?  

Ok they may not have found WMD, although there is good evidence some did/do exist,  but there is good evidence they had weapon programmes in varying forms.  Nobody wants to take a country to war but decisions has to be made.  I for one would not have wanted to be in Blair's position!

[oxford_fan]

i voted labour.

i'd rather have a lying blair than an honest howard (not that he is or would be) in no.10
