It's that time again...and my opinion finally counts (sort of)

It is now 16 days away from the general election, and the electoral campaigns are well under way. Now I've always had a healthy interest in politics, and i feel that this year's vote will be more important than ever. If we look back at the last ten years, Britain has had a rough time, we are in huge debt, on the verge of social chaos and the public has been betrayed by the government.

This is what i saw (in fewer words) when i read the conservative manifesto today, Come on Cameron, Its not been so bad, we've managed to bring unemployment down significantly amongst other things. I've been a conservative supporter for a few years now, (since i gained a interested in politics, really) but sometimes i do think that i may be voting for the wrong party. but lets look at the alternatives. I took this photo on my way to college today (it's the main reason for me writing this post)



This is the sign for a local MP, Toby Perkins, Now considering that the Liberal Democrats, have been in power where i live for the past ten years it is unlikely now that Labour will win. So that leaves the Lib Dems and the Torys as realistic voting options (besides i really don't like Labour anyway), this i would like to think as applicable to the rest of the united kingdom, however Labour may actually still win the election, but i digress.

In my town the Lib Dems, probably won't go out of power, so voting for any other party is pretty pointless. however in the mass scale of things i believe that the conservatives have a good chance of winning as the Lib Dems still do not have enough power behind them to win the election this time around and Labour made a complete arse of the job since 2000. So I'm personally voting for The Conservatives (though i do not agree with their policies on nuclear and blended family units).

Who will win? only time will tell.
