General Election: Who the hell am I going to vote for???

But who makes it a two party state.......

Answer.... The general public because they're the ones voting.

 

So you think its all about seats, in contrived constituencies?
And how many people vote for whatever is inconsequential ?

 

Sorry I don't agree with this, you have been lucky then, young couples that I have known who have bought their first house on an estate always regretted it. How does not liking estates create a "them and us" attitude???

 

I think to be honest no matter what type of voting system we have there will always be people who are not happy with it, who think its corrupt or doesnt represent them and will be un happy with the result

Because at the end of the day you can not please everyone and that applies to everything in life. There will always be people for and against everything

If labour had won a majority or had gone into coallition in this election I wouldnt of been happy but would of respected thats how the country has voted

The only time i would kick up a fuss would be against extreme far right groups and groups that discriminate against certain sectors of society based on race, sexual oriantation, gender or religion etc. As much as i generally lean to right with politics i cannot stand far right politics.

 

Kind of sounds like it is now then.
As I say, my MP is not even known to me, I dont know their name even?

And the way the election was shaping up, it looked like we were going to get the kind of deals between parties that you are suggesting, whereby they sort something out between themselves, and sod the voters.
I dont actually want an MP as such,I just want a voting system that reflects the view of the population.
The local elections are there to provide us with someone to stick the knife in
MPs are just a waste of space. Whoever they might be.

 

So why did they buy on an estate in the first place.... Did they not do any research on the location, crime figures etc.

Them and us = " oh, I own my own house. You only live in a council house/flat on an estate.

 

But then that's there own choice and they shouldn't moan about it.

 

We have people around here that are happy to buy a house on this estate, but once the kids get to school age they move to a posher estate, just to get the kid into a so called, better school.

It costs them thousands, but the little so and so is worth it.
Thing is, they usually end up on an estate where the houses are crammed, they are overlooked, it costs more, the garden is smaller etc.
But the postcode is nicer.

 

I am pleased that there is a growing movement of local KONP groups springing up - Keep Our NHS Public! Not sure how effective it will be with the Conservatives not addressing the privatisation issue of the NHS (whilst Labour clearly said it would halt it if it got into power)....however, being seen to do something rather than becoming a passive doormat is the way to go I feel. The NHS is the envy of the world...or was until its all to apparent, deliberate decline (being starved of sufficient funding).
