Standard form - put it to vote and people are far more concerned about saving a few quid now rather than the long term effects.Co-ordination problems and all that economic speak, innit? Although, I do hear tales that Manchester doesn't have a congestion problem. I would've voted 'Yes' given the choice.

Don't get me started on the TIF proposalI am fed up and exhausted from pointing out the positives to all the nobs that voted no.
Urgh. I'm going to bed.

Most of us understand the positives.The thing is, the "No" voters:
- Don't think the plans were justified
- Don't think it's fair that drivers should have to pay a third driving-related tax to subsidise a service that they won't use
- Don't trust GMPTE not to almightily fuck up as they usually do
- Don't trust the fact that it was a proposal and therefore open to change
- Don't like the fact that they're pushing more money into the knickers of Stagecoach when they're rolling in money as it is
- Hate those fucking awful adverts with the tenuous "MY BABY WILL DIE OF AIDS IF YOU VOTE NO" statements on them.
I am fed up and exhausted from pointing out those points to all the nobs that voted yes.
