The Tories and Libdems usually offer a candidate, but no one serious - at local elections they don't even bother in my ward. It's just Labour versus a few independents. I normally vote for an independent who happens to be a mate of mine.<br /><br />In the past I've voted Labour, Liberal and Conservative - never ever voted for Lib Dems. As the Liberals used to oppose membership of the EU I tended to vote for them in recent elections, but last time out there wasn't a Liberal candidate - and I think they've changed their policy anyway.<br /><br />If they put up a candidate this time I may well vote Liberal again - mainly out of nostalgia.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15007863347348182876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34993014.post-70331456705639846722009-04-20T22:17:00.000+01:002009-04-20T22:17:00.000+01:00Hi Stan,

...Hi Stan,<br /><br />I'm the anon who made the 1st comment.<br /><br />I just wanted to ask who you will be voting for at the next general election, if that's not too personal a question. I am fairly certain it won't be Labour, but given that there seems to be less separating the parties than ever, who would you opt for?<br /><br />I'm in a dilemma on the issue of who to vote for. I live in Scotland, if that makes any difference. <br /><br />- LawrenceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34993014.post-28550422178728397412009-04-20T10:53:00.000+01:002009-04-20T10:53:00.000+01:00Excellent post, Stan.

One of your best.<br />You have indeed articulated with great clarity what a lot of people (including me) have known, or at least suspected, for a long time. <br /><br />Cheers.<br />BHBob's Head Revisitedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925525488637291703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34993014.post-8574845851148458832009-04-20T09:34:00.000+01:002009-04-20T09:34:00.000+01:00I'm glad my words struck a chord with you, anon - ...I'm glad my words struck a chord with you, anon - to be honest, I'm never satisfied with any of my posts and I'm surprised anyone even bothers reading them. They're just my way of letting off steam.<br /><br />I can understand your frustration, but I'd ask you to bear in mind that politics is cyclical. We've gone through fifty years of liberal progressivism and it has clearly failed. I am seeing signs in the next generation - the ones most failed by the system - that they have had enough of this and are increasingly turning to conservatism - proper, right wing conservatism.<br /><br />Fascism is never OK whoever does it, but it has never ever been a feature of British conservatism. Authoritarianism, however, has always been a part of British socialism.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15007863347348182876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34993014.post-46247025620420975432009-04-19T19:41:00.000+01:002009-04-19T19:41:00.000+01:00Yet again, you put into words what all rational (r...Yet again, you put into words what all rational (right-wing) people are thinking.<br /><br />It's at the stage where I don't want to live in a society like this.<br /><br />The liberal left preach tolerance when it comes to human rights. But is it a homosexual couple's right to get married in Church? Well I don't think so, and neither does the Church. But to hell with the Church, say the liberal left. Let's force them to conduct gay marriages, no matter what the general public thinks, and no matter that it goes against the fundamental principles of the Christian scriptures.<br /><br />Fascism . . . . it's okay when they do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
