Upcoming British Election. Is there any point?
Yes I have to say its a tough choice. Frankly if we're left with a Labour party I belive the ID Act will come in, the other act that makes a FBI style police force, and many other adjustments that would make us more American - Frankly this is the last thing this country needs and more importantly, WANTS. Plus, I don't think Labour is going to fulfill any of its promises and will probably carry on appeasing the CIA and Bush.
Interestingly they have also (I would only put this as relevent on a cannabis forum) promised to put cannabis back on Class B, or at the very least review the evidence against it. However if Labour does get re-elected I don't think this would happen some how.
Conservatives - Yeah they're not really that glamorous, like a program said - its like going into the store and seeing "reduce crime" and a few other items in the store and saying "Is that all there is?" Not really a great government to have, however I see a less active government when it comes down to going to war and doing things that would go against the public.
Lib Dems - Don't really know that much about these guys, but they ain't going to win anyway. (Lets be honest only a 28% majority or something around there, compared to labour 36-42%) Saying that, I'm all for a liberal government full stop.
Overall, (if i could vote) I would probably have to go Conservative, only for the reason of choosing the lesser of two evils. Maybe if the Lib Dems had a chance I would vote for them, but that isn't going to happen. But if theres anything I want less, it's to have an americanised UK, seriously, Im all for freedom - but REAL freedom, not just a word.
Whoever said that a country that chooses security over freedom deserves not to be country is VERY RIGHT.
