I too have voted Labour at every election but they wont be getting my vote this time. But that doesnt mean the Tories are any good. I`m still waiting to see their expenses listed as i`m sure they`ll be in power next year and i`m more concerned about the future than the past.

I imagine most of use have 'fiddled' the expenses, or took something from the company we work for we shouldn't have (and that includes use of the Net), so the MP's are not alone.
However the 'elected' (:Erm:) government, have known what was going on for years and never fixed it, nor did they set an example.

Guilty as charged m'lud! But, for the most part, the jobs I had didn't entail the need to claim expenses. And so, the full extent of my 'pilfering' - as opposed to actual 'fiddling' - amounted merely to the acquisition of the odd item of office stationery, such as an alphabetically-indexed notebook [which is still in my possession some 40 years later] probably a few ballpoint and highlighter pens and, perhaps, a couple of rolls of Sellotape, &c.
In fact, on the one occasion that entitled me to fill-in any form of 'chitty', my then boss [a miserly old :Bugger:] instructed me to use public transport and *retain my bus tickets for inspection. As the task I'd been assigned to involved knocking on doors and/or the random distribution of sales leaflets in various streets within my home town, I decided to be "resourceful":idea: by using my bike and, mission accomplished, rode round to the main bus terminal ...:cwm25: where I gathered up as many discarded bus tickets as I felt would be required, and duly presented them in return for an appropriate reimbursement. *"Problem" solved!

Definitely! It could be construed as "milking" Company funds. :icon_lol:

Another wasted vote for the Green Party here. I would vote Natural Law Party just to see us all 'yogic flying' :D

I really don't know these days, whatever we choose we'll still be in a right mess. I normally vote Labour but like everyone else I'm completely disillusioned with them right now. On the other hand though, after going through the experience of the 1980's, I know I could never vote Conservative again. One thing that really scares me to death is that we'll end up with a Tory landslide which I think will be extremely divisive for the country as a whole; if your rich you'll get richer and if your poor you can sod off.
I'm convinced they'll do exactly what they done when Maggie was swept to power with a big majority, they'll cut services and they'll cut or remove taxes that affect mainly the rich. They will also probably sell off anything that is owned by the state that they didn't manage to sell off the last time they were in power.

:Erm: Call me pernickity if you will, but I wonder if anyone else has noticed the discrepancy in the colour-coding devised here to portray the two main political parties? Normally - on television and in the media - RED = Labour and BLUE, the Tories. Perhaps I'm being overly pedantic in drawing attention to such a trivial oversight (and anyway, it's a bit late now, since the onsite polling has already begun) but I suppose that what becomes of being a so-called "paragon of excellence"/:blacklistsmartassHL - whereas [like most people] I'm far from perfect myself!

Strictly off the record [having presided at ALL elections over a period of more than a quarter of a century] - and despite being a 'proud jock' - I'll be following Joe Bloggs' example and voting for the UK Independence Party ... :Britain:

UKIP for me too.
I can`t stand to vote Tory after what happened in the `80s and Labour need to lose power and sort themselves out for next time.

As the Monster Raving Loony Party's founder and - :Erm: dare I say, sole representative - the infamous 'Screaming Lord Such' "snuffed it" back in 1999, Dave. I can only surmise he took his 'brainchild' :Wave: to the grave with him ... !
