Britain's election finally set for May 6

Post Number:#1  PostApril 30th, 2010, 8:22 am

Whilst the British public get set to vote on May 6th 2010, I [like many disillusioned voters] haven`t made my mind up just whom I am going to elect for the job of rebuilding and re-directing our economy. Polls show the British want change from Labour government, and statistically the polls show a Conservative lead, but in British politics it is the majority of districts won andnot the majority of votes — that will determine which party will lead the next government.

The link at wiki will summarise the entire British election process and which seats are held.

The story of election 2010 is Nick Clegg. Write yourself into history with the Lib Democrats.

Nick Clegg would grant an amnesty for all illegal immigrants. [Estimate 1 million illegals.] Liberal is wishy washy and seeking a hung parliament with shared power with Labour. If you want a change for the better in Britain vote UKIP

“Our discredited politicians can now only legislate for 20% of our laws. I object to paying £45 million a day to the EU to be governed by people I cannot elect or remove.
Leaving the EU would save us billions and give us our country back. I fought for this country with the sword, now I will fight with the pen and voice.” Major Mark Adkin UKIP [UK Independence Party]

UK Independence Party
Say NO to mass [uncontrolled] immigration
Say YES to referendums on all major issues
Say NO to wasting £45 million a day in Brussells
Send the politicians a message VOTE UKIP

If the country had any common sense, they'd kill the queen and give this man the crown, as well as the Parliament ...
