In Kier we trust. I don't for one minute believe he will disappoint.
Don’t know enough about the main political parties in the UK anymore or what they stand for.
There were many reasons I decided to move myself and my family to the other side of the world. One of those reasons was what I perceived as the decline of the UK as a whole. Not that Australia is a shining beacon in that respect either, but it’s certainly no worse and the weather is nicer.
Politicians, especially those in positions of power within the halls of Westminster and in Parliament House in Canberra in my opinion anyway, have an annoying habit of being self-serving and to be honest I can’t see the next government either here or the UK being any different.
I can always live in hope though!

Really hope you are right mate, fingers crossed.

He promised a house building bonanza on day 1, so unless he peesonally builds a thousand new houses by 5pm tomorrow he is useless <laugh><laugh>

In all seriousness I will raise a glass to the end of the current govt tonight. I will reserve judgement on the new lot though I am afraid and hoping my fears about policy and manifesto are proven to be wrong.
 
Still have had no leaflets , seen no posters in windows , and certainly no knock at door so still have zero knowledge of any of the candidates.
My choice will be by writing numbers 1-7 on pieces of paper , and drawing one out , casting a vote as I believe you should , or don’t complain afterwards. Whoever wins , I shall be on their case to see that they work for the constituency , not themselves.
