So it’s election day tomorrow, I’ve got my polling card after registering just in time, and I have no idea who to vote for. It’s basically between the Conservatives and the Lib Dems, but even watching the leadership debates didn’t help me decide.

I keep thinking, can I in all conscious make this man Chancellor?

What a surprise…I’ve just Googled George Osborne and he’s heir to a baronetcy. What is it with Conservative politicians being landed/titled or married to landed/titled folk? I’ve got nothing against them per se, but do they really understand what life is like for normal people?

Should I vote Lib Dem because they’ll give me £10k tax free? Maybe I should just flip a coin.

    My personal opinion on the conservatives is, and always has been, is that they don’t understand real life and certainly only look after their “own”.
    Lib Dems are unlikely to get a majority .. so it will be a hung parliament. I’m sticking with Labour as I reckon thats the only party who has the right methods to get this country out of recession after the world global financial disaster. No matter what the parties policies are on health, education, the war etc… it is all insignicant if we don’t keep the economy recovering. What on earth does George Osbourne know about the economy .. jobs for the boys I reckon in Camerons party.

    You cannot vote Tory, they are just going to cut everything that doesn’t affect their rich posh mates. Just look at what they have done in to this one council http://tinyurl.com/2vkhwaw
    Now take that and apply it to the whole country. They don’t care about anybody who earns less than £100,000 a year.
