The voters of this country have been ignored and walked over for years; they stepped up for Blair and phony labour thinking they would get some justice and honesty after all the Tory years of sleaz
But all they go was the biggest con in UK political history,
It's no wonder they say it doesn't mater who gets in there all the same.
The majority of the British public do member the men that sacrificed in the war for freedom; it was there family members that did the suffering
Remember young British men are still being killed on the alter of the three war parties to satisfy there political arrogance.
68 % of voter don't won't them.

i think that is roughly a normal turnout for council elections, come 2015 we will all be banging on the doors of the polling stations before they open at 7 a.m.

Not to vote is a kick in the teeth for those who continue to serve us and who fought for our vote. It is shameful. PS - I think it may be time for an irony refresher.......

I recently read a spoof Apr 1st BNP leaflet. It said that every citizen has it within his power to offset his carbon emissions. It's based on the fact that every human breathes out half a ton of carbon dioxide every year. For each half ton you emit, go out and shoot an immigrant. (bad taste I know, sorry).

I can't see any political party bringing prosperity to Britain.
The facts have proved me right. It has got from bad to worse, and statistics, previsions and official government announcements make it look all the worse for the future.
The recent council elections have shown that, adding to a two thirds boycott of the polls, the small parties got nowhere either.
People are seeing through politics and politicians.

Alexander - political parties never bring prosperity to countries but, when in power, they can by poor fiscal management and through other policies hinder and damage our prosperity.
It is only successful businesses that create prosperity.

That's why I think, Barry, people elected to local and central government should be councillers, MPs, ministers, but do not have to necessarily be politicians.
They should administer to the people according to their elected office, uphold democratic processes such as public consultations and popular votes on important issues both national and local, rather than making silly political decisions that are often against the wish and needs of the people.

"In Tunbridge Wells the Conservatives have 37 seats with the Liberal Democrats, the next largest party, on five."
Just a storm in a teacup, Howard. The Tories have almost complete control of the Council in Tunbridge. Furthermore, I'm not sure how many centuries it takes to pass the initiation phase in order to become a UKIP worthy. I never made it and gave up! Sorry!
