Where I live it is really close between Labour and Conservative. So I guess it will have to be Labour. The other parties standing where I live - Lib Dem,Plaid Cymru, and UKIP are a million miles behind and will never get elected.
If we had a proportional representation system for elections I would be voting for the Liberal Democrats.
It would be a cold day in hell before I voted Conservative, Thatcher destroyed many parts of South Wales.
Still, they are better than this party:

imagine a political party naming themselves after the latin for "truth"...i think im going to die laughing
conservatives can piss off...they did the same to parts of scotland...i was amused thatcher was defending scotland about the regiments...she would make good manure
labour are just as corrupt as the conservatives were a decade ago...id rather vote for the raving loony party
ill vote SNP...

i see this happening all too often that that is everyone tends now to look at them all and say well they are all bad ill vote for the best of the worst.
same thing happens in Canada too...... i beleive they are having a 3 part special on CBC Newsworld called "The Politics of Fear" where it goes into how it used to be you voted on who you thought would do the best for the country and bring it forward into the future. now you vote for the one that scares you of the other guy the best.
funny shit i think but it seems so true

I can't say I've followed the UK elections at all, so excuse me for asking.
For those of you who aren't voting for Labour, or just hate Blair, what's the worst thing about them/him?
For somebody who hasn't followed UK politics, it seems like Blair's support for George W Bush is the thing most people object to. Instead of things he has done, or hasn't, for the country.

went to war on flawed information.
a shitload of stealth taxes.
the labour party is now as right wing as the tories were ten years ago.
I grew up a labour supporter, but i'll never vote for Bliar's party. So it'll either be Scottish Socialist or Scottish National. Not even a consideration of voting Tory, they've showed constant contempt for scotland for decades and their campaign is built on fear and xenophobia. And their leader is Dracula.

Living in N.Ireland I do hope New Labour stays.Quite frankly New Labour has done a hell of alot more for N.Ireland than the Tories have and ever will.
I will vote in our local elections this year again for Sinn Fein.

The worst thing?
The total inability to tell the truth ranks pretty high, the man is just dishonest
Other complaints
The scores of new taxes - and no improvements in law and order or the NHS despite fantastic levels of investment (where did it all go?)
The failure to provide leadership on Europe - are we to be sold out to Brussels or not?
The total mess of the immigration system
Student fees
Iraq
there the things annoying me about Mr Blair currently

That applies to all politicians don't you think???
They promise you the world in order for you to vote for them,then when they do get in.That's when and only when they reveal their true hidden agenda.They are all full of false promises and pretences.
Politicians in the end imo are nothing more than liars with more blood on their hands than most.

He is very good but to say the best ever is a bit strong, the economy was already growing very well before he took over the Chancellorship, some credit must go to the Conservatives for this.
I'd say Peel is the best Chancellor

I think Labour are guaranteed to win to be honest.
Tony Blair and Labour are the biggest bunch of left wing pussies and are setting about destroying this country!
I disagree with their stance on:
Crime
the way the NHS is run
Immigration
Taxes
and hate the way he has turned himself into a dictator. We don't get to vote on any of the things that matter, such as when the country goes to war or how our taxes are spent. It is beyond me why people that have never lived in the real world and not gained real world life experience are the ones that get into power and set the laws for us normal people.
