I'm quite stunned by the amount of people who seem to hate the Conservatives based on ''He's a twat'' or ''I don't like his face'' or ''remember how bad Thatcher was''.
People tend to forget that Thatcher rescued this country from the trade unions. We were known as ''the sick man of Europe'' when they last came into power. Seriously the country was a joke, and they turned it round. Sure, they had lost it by the time they were voted out but so what? They are not exactly the same now, and thinking that would be based on ignorance. Not voting conservative because of Thatcher is ridiculous. What about Winston Churchill? Does he have relevance to todays politics? Probably as much as Thatcher does...
You have to listen to what is being said and the underlying policeys of each party.
I listen to what Mr. Howard says and I have not heard him say anything that I disagree with. It doesn't matter that I think he looks like a vampire, mispronounces words, or that I thought John Major was a flop.
Where is the relevance of so many peoples arguments like 'he looks like a right prick, i'm not voting for him' or 'I hate Thatcher, I'm not voting conservative'? It strikes me most voters just don't have a clue what they are going on about, and just vote based on really stupid stuff like, 'I've always voted for them' or 'I really like the tie he wore the other day'. I strongly doubt that even 20% of voters read the manifestos and actually think about their vote. Then you get the fact that if you are not in a marginal you are not even relevant. So the whole election is a complete joke really.
If only one of the parties realised all they needed was a young attractive woman at the helm who promised to take her top off if she won. All the guys would vote cos she was fit and all the women would vote cos of girl power... She wouldn't even need to bother with a manifesto or anything.
