I am absolutely fed up with seeing this rubbish on the television where they are trying to outdo one another in an attempt to score points. I honestly think that there is going to be the biggest shock ever, in that the UKIP will make a huge impression, with Labour slipping back to 4th position. And who could blame us for putting UKIP in when you get the likes of Gordon Brown saying one thing to your face, and another behind your back (when he thinks you can't hear what he is saying that is).

After interviewing a lady on camera he got back in his car forgetting that his microphone was still on! He said she was bigoted! Ha, ha, ha what goes around Gordon...Best you get your suitcases packed and hire a removals van because you are on your way out of number 10 Downing Street!

Yes I am Ron - and I don't even watch the news!!!

I wasn't in time to register to vote here so I've got to vote in my old constituency which is annoying!!! They are all a load of idiots really but I suppose I will have to choose one - my Mom & Dad always instilled in me the importance of using my right to vote as people died to get the vote for women and the working class!

The Labour MP for Stourbridge was even standing outside our school gates handing out leaflets the other day - I gave the leaflet back which shocked them a bit - can't even escape from them picking up the children from school!!!!

Hi Ron I don’t get that involved with all this as it gets me mad but 5 things that we should not forget  

1 Tony Blair and Gordon Brown made a packed that they would swap when Mr Blair had done the first term they lied to us the voter  

2. Mr Brown sold off all of the uks gold stock

 3. He made a right mess of dealing with distraught mother of Grenadier Guard Jamie Jane’s, 20, after she berated him for apparently misspelling her son's name and other words in his note of sympathy.

4 he made mistakes on immigration as he defends the benefits of workers coming from overseas.

5 being caught on microphone Gillian Duffy, 65, had challenged him on issues including immigration. As he got into his car, he was still wearing a broadcast microphone and was heard to say "that was a disaster".

i gess iam not voting for him

THIS IS A NON PARTISAN JOKE THAT CAN BE ENJOYED BY All PARTIES!
NOT ONLY THAT-- it is POLITICALLY CORRECT!!

While walking down the street one day a "Member of Parliament" is tragically hit by a truck and dies.

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the  entrance.

'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter.. 'Before you settle in,  it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.'

'No problem, just let me in,' says the man.

'Well, I'd like to, but I  have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.'

'Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,'  says the MP.

'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.'

And with  that, St. Peter  escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down  to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green  golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it  are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with  him.

Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had  while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They play a  friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and  champagne.

Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly & nice guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises....

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.

'Now it's time  to visit heaven.'

So, 24 hours pass with the MP joining a group  of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing.  They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by  and St. Peter returns.

'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and  another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.'

The MP reflects for a minute, then he answers: 'Well, I would never have said it  before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but 
 I think I would be better off  in hell.'

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down,  down, down to hell.

Now the doors of  the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with  waste and garbage.

He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his  shoulder. 'I don't understand,' stammers the MP. 'Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time.. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable.


What happened?'

The devil looks at him, smiles and says, 'Yesterday we were campaigning... ... 


Today you voted.'
