The Fly
Is anyone else having trouble deciding who to vote for in the upcoming UK general election? I'd say I am a natural labour voter but I don't want to vote Labour because that would be endorsing Tony Blair's lies about the Iraq War. At the same time The Lib Dem's have unworkable policies like abolishing tuition fees (I'm a law student and I work every weekend and I still have enough time to study) mainly because we have far too many university places and far too many unnecessary degrees. Although I'm not against asylum seekers I liked what Michael Howard said about addressing imigration. I feel it would be hypocritical of me to be absolutely for letting as many asylum seekers in as possible as I don't live in an area that would really be effected by this. It seems one part of the goverments policy is to uphold unfair trade laws but the other part involves letting people into the UK from these very countries we discriminate against. Why not make trade fairer and decrease poverty in these countries. Poverty always brings out the worst in human beings (violence etc)so maybe if the world were a fairer place we wouldn't have people travelling half way across the world to get into Britain. It just seems like voting is a joke in Britain because Labour are definitely going to get in. In the Scottish Parliament we have proportional representation which seems fairer as your vote will always matter. I guess I'm a socialist with fascist tendencies, in other words I'm up for giving everyone a chance but some people are just SCUM and socialism or liberalism doesn't ever recognise that. Ok so it alot of criminals may be from broken homes etc and should be given a second chance but some are just scum through and through. Labour said they were "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime". I haven't seen any evidence of this. For a start ASBO's are an absolute joke. Anyway that is my incoherent rant but I felt I had to get that off my chest.
