I don't understand how a bunch of politicians can make a decision to crap on their core support - in such a rank amateurish fashion - with the scrapping of the 10p tax band.

Then there are the banks who have made crap decisions and yet they are being bailed out to the tune of £50billion, with the promise of further securities to come.

And the Tory response? Teresa May has just said "We are in it together!" Glib catchphrases and nothing more. No policies, no costings.

It's a local election and so I'm going to vote for the only person who has given a stuff about my ward for the last two years. Every month he has popped a photocopied sheet through the door telling us what he has done on issues of safety, hygiene and turning the local area into a community.

It's ages since we argued about politics :D

Your what? :unsure:

NB. This is not a thread about Wii's or twisted testicles :thumbup:

HHHHHAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

I echo Kilworth, pointless voteing round here until the legions of ex Miners die it will always be Labour. They haven't quite cottoned on to the fact that Labour aren't really Labour anymore, as their last budget proved.

The benefits of this injection aren't confined to the banks and the banks are still responsible for any further losses on the securities they swap. It's for the greater good.

I don't know if we're voting in Glenfield/Blaby District, not heard anything but if we do I shall continue my policy of voting for any true independent as a protest vote against the main parties.

I've voted Green before now but the whole Green issue has been taken over by big business for profit or by government to increase taxes, I no longer believe in it as an issue that is influenced significantly by human activity.

So I've voted Crank :thumbup:

I can't understand the suicidal decisions being made by Labour just now either but to be fair about £20 a month is the most anyone is going to be hit by and for many on low income thats what they spend per month on disposable fag lighters.

£20 a month is a significant amount for me!

Buy matches ;)

No seriously this is political suicide and for people unable to claim the losses back through other benefits it will be a kick in the balls.

Scheduling it just before the elections, with MP's worried about waning support in marginal constinuencies - there's not an aspect of this budget that was thought through effectively.

If I didn't know better I'd swear Mandaric had a hand in it.

I must admit I do not know who my local MP candidates are and what they stand for!!!

Neither do the MPs nor do they care as they occasionally lift their heads out of the trough of gravy to see who else has got their snout in it!

I live in cardiff - its libs here. The place is really nice and clean, the last time labour were in aparently they had the most untidy citeh in the uk. Libs seem to be doing a good job so i'l prob vote for them.

Anyone like to point out to me why I should give a flying **** about the London Mayor?

Newspapers and 5Live seem to think I should - but I'd rather give myself an enema with a stick.

Much of the development in Cardiff is down to European funding and very little to do with the Lib Dems or Rodney Berman.

Not just me who went for the tories then. Jesus christ.

To be quite honest I'm absolutely clueless about local politics and just went for who I'd want to see win a General Election in a years time. Conservatives seem best equipped at the moment. In terms of broad politcal ideology I'm probably a lot closer to the Lib-Dems at the minute, but they don't look fit to govern and never have.

I think we had our vote last year. If I was voting I'd vote tory of course.

I've been offered a seat on Syston town council in the past, I wouldn't have to stand for election as they can't get anyone to stand, I'd get on unopposed.

I was tempted but I didn't really fancy all the flack you get when somebody who doesn't vote or take any interest all of a sudden doesn't get what he wants.

Scrapping the 10p tax band will cost Labour the election, I don't know who to back myself yet or if its worth it!
