Politics

Just finished watching the prime ministerial debate.

Yes, my various informants were right. Labour and Conservatives made fools of themselves and each other. Gordon Brown kept making personal attacks on the Conservatives and David Cameron on the Labour party. You can see that they are both convinced it is only a two party election and that the Liberal Democrats don't stand a chance. Gordon Brown's got to stop deciding he agrees with Nick Clegg all the time, because he can't agree and  disagree at the same time! I was taking down a few notes so I could review what was going on afterwards, and what I noticed was, Labour and Torries were knocking each other down "what he's not telling you is...." the whole time, and seemed to forget to tell you what they were actually going to do. I got most of my notes written down on the Liberal Democrats, and I think it really has to be said, that they seem to be the only party who are clearly stating their intentions. Labour are saying "we have desperate need for a change/this must continue" but my question - if there are problems, and you've been in power for 13 years, WHY are there still problems that you haven't bothered with? Why?

Conservatives are saying "Labour haven't done this..., they're not telling you that..., we need to change this..." but they've neglected to put in any deadlines or say where this money will come from.

Lib Dems are saying, "we need to do this...., we will do this...., we will be able to afford this because....(yes, we are going to need to use savings. and we don't need this trident nuclear defence system)" they are making their intentions clear, rather than attacking the other parties.

Liberal Democrats, you have my support. Or at least I'm pretty sure you do. But everyone's entitled to change their minds. I still think Torries are capitalist scum that are leaning waaaay too far over to the right wing. I think Labour are almost leaning as far - not sure how they manage to do this and disagree with everything the Conservative party say. Liberal Democrats are much more of a left wing party and proposing to bring in much fairer changes to the system. I hope they get in. I will be eternally depressed if the Torries do.

Anyway, enough on politics. I think we have to go to Waitrose soon.
