Ihave just looked at the votting.... has conservative said something about cutting the tax on petrol or something?? they seem well in the leed have I missed something ?
I can't believe it's anything more than the most likely party to get the current shower out - and that's the priority as far as I'm concerned.
The tories are doing nothing to differentiate themselves from "new labour" at the moment and, if they got in, the only benefit is that we'd have another bunch of muppets in power for whom opposition and losing elections is a little more fresh in the mind.
Maybe they figure that it's a year or two before a general election and they have a few cards up their sleeve but they need to start positioning themselves as a serious opposition party IMHO. That means tacking some of the issues that we all moan about with some bold manifesto pledges, not just sniping at Labour whilst broadly towing the same line.
I'd be tempted to vote for the Tories just because it will get Labour out but given their total lack of direction at the moment and the fact that our Tory MP is a chocolate fireguard I might just do a "none of the above".
