They did. Sneakily, a few years back ;)

Not so surprising ;)

That's so true. Politicians seem to think you can teach intelligence
into a person.

Point taken, but surely the real purpose of uni is to allow study to a greater depth in a specific subject than secondary education allows - how much benefit will it provide to someone who's going to be a hairdresser to get a BA in Beauty, offset against the cost of them going?

I still hate the whole system.

I would vote LIb Dem, but seeing them get 25% of votes and bugger all seats is always depressing.

Bring on proportional representation.

Only argument Ive heard against was along the lines of 'well germany have it and you don't want to be like them do you? Always hung parliaments, party coalition, etc.' - what, the main European economic power at the moment with a good environmental record to boot despite having to cope with gaining a whole ex-soviet country to deal with? Oh no, wouldn't want that at all... :roll:

LIB DEM 584
OTH 62

Hung parliament/coalition could be the way to make REAL PROGRESS on key issues like the environment and tackling poverty...

Hmm, judging by those results I can only conclude...

Llamasoft games turn you Liberal.

Jeff - MAKE MORE GAMES & QUICK!!!

If there were free CDs of Llamatron distributed with every Sun/Star/Express & Telegraph then the election would be sewn up in no time...

Interesting stuff. It just about came up with who I would vote for, were the postal votes not constrained so much that I wouldn't get my vote back in time, but the UKIP result was higher than I expected.
No time for heartache, no time to run and hide,
no time for breaking down, no time to cry.

We jocks have proportional representation. We've got Greens AND Socialists in our parliament.

Right on!

Kilroy just pipping the Conservatives for myself...
