GOOD LUCK TO THE YELLOW PERIL!

I think anybody who is swinging over to the Lib Dems is mentally retarded.


I've still got my fingers crossed for a Conservative majority

I'm going with Conservative. Though it will be a complete waste of time. I live in the NE and the amount of people who blindly say "am voting Labour as we always have" astounds me. They obviously don't listen or read and just do what they are told or have been lead to believe for generations. Gormless lot.
Thankfully the youth of the NE seem to be breaking with tradition

Relax - conservatives will get in with overall majority, labour poor second and lib dems way behind.

Then we'll get the "we have now had a chance to look at the books and didn't realise things were this bad" scenario with VAT going up to 20% and basic rate to 24 - 25p.

What about Thatcher then? She took Britain out the dark ages, gave people credit and de regulated the city, which then generated huge tax revenues. The socialists have never had the capacity for that kind of thinking. And before you jump on the city as being the cause of the mess we're in now, that was commercial loans which should admittedly have been more strictly regulated, but Labour have had 13 years!! So it's their mess and their fault for not recognising and doing something about it.

Government borrowing is just a joke on an epic scale(although not a funny one).

That's my mother that.

TBH I wouldn't mind so much VAT going up to 20%. Afterall unless you're buying something very expensive you don't really notice the difference.

Plus, i got my new car and big Plasma when VAT was 15% I'm done for a while.

Saved £800 on my 370Z. That you notice. But with the weekly shop (Buying for 1) I didn't.

So extra VAT means those that buy more, pay mnore. Better that than everyone be taxed on NI, where those that work hard pay for those that don't.

I agree, it is to an extent a voluntary tax but equally we do still need people to buy things otherwise the economy will grind to a halt. Whoever gets in has got some very difficult decisions to make and is going to have to be very good (or lucky) to get re-elected in 5 years time.

We have to accept that tough times are ahead, whichever party gets elected. I accept this and have no real problem (as long as the correct election result is obtained), although it is an 'unknown' at this stage.

There is only 1 party I trust not to waste my taxes, so this makes my electoral decision easy.....................I really can't understand how anyone (except those whose votes have been bought by NL) can be undecided

It's simple. You trust them, I don't.

More a case of "I don't trust any of them". They're all a bunch of self-serving gits. I'm surprised one of them didn't find Madeline McCann in the hope that it might win a few extra votes.

Thats my only problem as far as Clarke is concerned. He would certainly make an effective chancellor.

It is interesting that Flash is on record before NL was elected that if he was ever in such a position he would cancel every single Quango, instead of creating more of them as he has done.

Did you see old Micheal 'dracula' howard ( another thatcher heavy ) spouting on about how the tories could never go in with the liberals , dinosaur
