Euro elections
We've had a flyer from Labour and one from the Lib Dems. Both printed on cheapo paper. Neither says what their party stands for, or explains what their party's policies will be.

The Labour one just slags on Cameron and the Lib Dem's slags off Labour.

Imagine a Pepsi ad where the tagline was "Don't drink Coke, have you seen what it does to a penny?"

What a crock

To be fair...
...I can think of ten reasons not to vote Labour.

The only thing left in the Labour armoury is to pull a smear campaign akin to the Tories "New Labour New Danger" ad from 1997.

The only reason why I don't want the Labour party consigned to history is because I hate the Tories just as much.

negativity
...Of this sort is what will allow the BNP to get their first council control come June 4th, mores the pity.

As for other fringe parties such as UKIP...words fail me. Nigel Farage has a voice and associated facial expressions that his face comes under the heading of "one I'd never tire of punching".

And as for the bastards occupying the government benches at the moment? Without some major successful prosecutions for fraud and theft they will be unelectable for a hundred years. As it stands they'll be ineligible for election without some major restructure for a generation.

Those politicians
...who every year preside over council tax hikes, hikes in rail fares, hikes in fuel duty, allow the utility companies to hike their charges above inflation (OFWAT, OFGEN etc) and yet remain untouched by the corresponding fall in standards of living as a result have no place in public life.

Pay 'em £75k a year and put 'em up in a dorm whenever they're working in the capitol. They pay their own travel, energy and office expenses, just like the rest of us do.

Any that have milked the system should be chucked in the Tower.

As damage control
I.e. not to let Labour, the Tories, BNP or UKIP in, I know exactly who I'll be voting for.

Libdem
If they can actually pull off a major win of this kind under Cleggs command I'll be severely surprised.

A bit like Brown's letter to the public
at the weekend apologising again about the recent
expenses scandal in which newspaper?

That's right, the News of the World.

The BNP one was just as bad
I know who posted it through my letter box though- I'm considering an election manifesto of my own, composed of shit.

The only upsides to UKIP and BNP votes
Would be if the main parties realised that they HAVE to listen and act, for fear of being universally shunned.

Chelsea barracks
The barracks at Chelsea.recently sold by mod would make a good dorm for them and, given that its just across the road from the royal hospital would be a reasonable location for them to think about their actions. -
