The Last Cross?
« on: May 06, 2010, 14:02:13 PM »
Have just returned from placing my cross in the appropriate box. I hope this is the last time I do this in a UK National Election. With some luck and a fair wind the next time I go to the ballot it will be to make my choice by writing 1, 2 and 3.

It would be good to see a fairer electoral system in the UK. It's long overdue.

I'd like to see the Lib Dems and the Greens have a greater say in government but not the BNP which would be the downside of a change in the system.

I was watching CNN yesterday and the mixed race reporter asked some git who he was voting for. He said the BNP and practically took out her eye when he jabbed her in the face with his finger to make the point.

He wants to see 'England' go back to the way it was 50 years ago. I expect he'd like to see the little woman back at the kitchen sink where she belongs too, after serving him his supper of course and probably without the right to vote either.

Uneducated little oik!

Nichola, my opinions correspond remarkably closely with your own.

I think Gordon got it right when he said Bigot!
