Worrying, isn't it? What's more worrying is that she, and other men and women like her, are as likely to be called for jury service as anyone else on the electoral register.I once worked with a woman who voted for John Major because he looked like her brother in law, II'm all for democracy, but some people shouldn't be allowed to vote

This is a really good service by Google which uses public data to make customised graphs for a good overview of how world economies are doing. Whatever way you look at it, France's economy has done better than Britain's since 2008, including since Hollande:

I won't go on as this is my first post and isn't going to hold any weight round here, but in the same vein, I work as a carer and see how this government has had a detrimental effect on the disabled day in day out. Financially, social schemes, colleges having to close whole support departments for disabled students because they can't afford to run them anymore... I often work with young people who have their whole lives ahead of them getting low and depressed due to the support they need disintegrating under their feet.
I don't have a good way to say this without getting emotional, not a good idea for a first post, but I'll say this: If anyone is unsure who to vote for, or blindly vote tory becuse of family or whatever, come work my job for a day and see how you feel after you speak to some of the people that have had their lives negatively impacted by this lot and then see how you feel. OP, you ask why shouldn't you vote for the tories? Because you're better than that, we as a society are better than that. This current group of tories are nasty and thoughtless. They hide behind words like "targetting" and "refining" to cut benefits and social schemes that helped some of the worse off people, with the least oppurtunities in society all the while justifying it to the public with hate tactics, pinpointing the "work shy". They should be ashamed.

Sorry about your sons predicament. I have no idea of the position you list, whether it's a true reflection of the facts or not, it's nothing I know anything about. Your post is however is light on facts and full of emotive language (possibly understandable) so says very little of any real meaning other than anti-tory prejudice, so I will ignore the post as adding nothing to the argument.
.Presumably, according to your thinking, those who don't vote for theTories are 'better' than those who do.
A sweeping assumption, maybe?Tories eat children and old people,whilst Labour loves everybody.........unless you are a 'Toff'.
Anyway,welcome to NSC.
The Labour Party launched an attack on the chief executive of high street chemists Boots today. after he claimed it would be a 'catastrophe' if Ed Miliband became Prime Minister.
Stefano Pessina said the Labour leader's plans were 'not helpful for business, not helpful for the country and in the end it probably won't be helpful for them'. Another reason not to vote Milliband
My adult life began i guess in 1995 when I left school. Things seemed to be good at the time, I remember my parents seemed fairly well off, not rich but not poor. Then Labour won the election in '97 and led us to an illigal war in Iraq and a few years later the financial crisis hit, it basically ruined my life. Now, things seem better? Wages going up (not mine) unemployment low, the economy growing? I'm not pretending to know too much about politics but can't see how voting against the Tories will solve anything?
If the red Ed's get in to power my house will be put on the market and I'll be on the first plane out of here.
Ooo sounds nice, where will you be off to?If the red Ed's get in to power my house will be put on the market and I'll be on the first plane out of here.

If you are worried about your own finances vote Tory, if you worry about the old, the infirm,disabled or famillies stuck in wage slavery vote Labour or Libdem.
This ought to be interesting. You'll leave if Labour win power and [MENTION=5707]Nibble[/MENTION] has said he'll leave if the Tories win power ..... one of you is clearly out of here .... unless one or both of you are lying ?
