I think im going to vote conservative because its the most likely chance of getting rid of labour and Tony Blair. They've wasted so much of our money on targets and beurocracy and wars and rubbish. Nothing's changed at all in the joke that is our health system, and over-immigration and the nanny state has sucked the life out of the walfare system and our pockets. I dont think its rocket science what the conservatives are proposing - to tax less, spend more wisely and carefully, on things that matter like long-term care and schools and trains, not for a department of 1000 people working to write up a year long survey to show how many disbled people are employed (what is the definition of 'disbled' anyway?- someone on long-term medication!!). No one can deny that labour have wasted 10s of billions of pounds, lied and bullshitted their way around the place, and taken us all for mugs. The reason they have wasted so much of our money, and so many aspects of our country are poor (such as a massive increase in illiteracy, people not getting the treatment they need (esp. mental), gun crime, transport chaos, MRSA virus, house prices) is because they are not competant enough for the job. We HAVE to care about this and not be lazy. Please vote conservative to get Labour out and to give Howard and crew a chance to turn things around for us again!
