Isn't this refreshing, a thread about British politics !

Having turned 18 last year, I now have the right and privilege to vote in the upcoming election... And I can safely say I probably won't.

This election is nothing but a contest to see who can promise the most appeasements. Labor believe they will cut crime by 30 (or so) percent within the next 4 years, should they be reelected. Liberal Democrats promise to abolish student uni fees. Conservative are too hung up on putting down Labor to actually promise anything. Do any of these twats even know how they are hoping to accomplish these promises? How can crime be reduced in any other way then should have been attempted in the last 5 years (aside from hunting down ALL chavs )? Where will the money come from for student fees? Where are the details?

All I hear on the news is 'Today, this party promised this', 'this party promised that'. Why should anyone believe any of it? All these parties want is to get into power. If Labor could so easily make a significant difference (like they promised to last election) they would have, so either politics is no walk in the park (which renders their appeasements totally empty) or it's all a plate of shit to begin with.

Anyone feel free to prove me wrong, i'm not as confident on the subject as I might appear.

Your thoughts, fellow Brittanians (or Americano's, if it's relevant)?
