may 1st elections rigged? again

my friend the guardian has alerted me to the british may 1st elections being rigged, though it has not said this outright i fear that the elections are being rigges as we speak.

The labour party is facing a mass loss this year and is now sending its cabinetr ministers out to collect postal votes. obviously to keep its seats the Party is now altering these votes so to keep its seats.


British voters, stay away from these people, remember they are keeping the truth from you.

We can vote by post, but you have to apply to the local council first.

My family is doing it.

Labour hardliner here, I'ed rather see Labour burocracy than Tory Facists.

I which they had a chance, Libberal democrats - just complain, nice ideas but they fail to do much.

Greenparty - Dont have enough support yet

National Front / BNP - I refuse to support tories, am I likly to support people who make them look like saints?

MRLP - I would like to see them do well, being led by that cat makes them one of the best lead political parties in history.

most parties fail to do very much. but the liberal democrats are in general a little more mature - they don't scream like little babies, or resort to name-calling in parliament as much as the other parties. i think this is why they are seen as ineffectual.

Well sort of, but I'd still say thet are less of wallies than everyone else. And they actually seem to want to be good for Scotland. Labour just want to do what England tells us to do, and the Lib Dems do whatever is popular.

nah, the SNP have unrealistic estimates and policies. i wouldn't really wanna have them in government - as noble their intentions (and they're not that noble), they're not really sure how to achieve what they want.

You voting Lib Dems then? At the last election I would have said I like them(altho I was too young to vote) but now I just see all Lib Dems as cowardly, do-what-they-are-told types!

i dunno, just because a party is willing to compromise does not make them (in my book) "do as they are told" types... getting part of your way is better than not getting it at all.

i'm still thinking about trying to get back to kirkcaldy to vote - that's where i'm registered (i live in edinburgh at the mo').

I never gave that a thought!!!!Thought I'd be able to vote in Glasgow. Might mean I can't vote. Last day of uni tomorrow so by the time I get home I'll be lucky if I can say SNP never mind find a polling station and put a cross beside their name.
