    I can tell. I woulda been a bit cheesed off if he'd said that! I've never wanted kids but thats up to you, not for some politician to say you regret it! We had a Labour MP (not gonna say for safety an that) who was quite good, and luckily we still have the same one so I can't return the sentiment. I live in a very Labour-voting area as I've said before and I think they're the best to get us out of this mess, even if I am a bit peed off with them.

    Thanks ha. Yeah I agree with you about the conservatives being totally focused on upper class. It really irritates me. At least Labour helped the working class people. In the constituencies, in my area we had a lovely mp, Jim Knight for Labour and he was amazing. He did anything and everything for us and he even came to the young mum's group I go to and he was just fantastic. Now we have Richard Drax who also came to our group and wrote on his blog about how we said we all regretted having our babies which we didnt say!

    Politics annoys me, can you tell?!

    Just looked on your profile, Isabella's adorable! And unfortunately she and other youngsters're gonna be the one payin for the government's mistakes for years to come. I've always been political, not knowledgable, but political none the less. In fact, me and my Dad predicted the results of this election almost perfectly!

    I've always said this and always will, Conservatives are for the upper class, they don't give a monkey's fart for the working class.

    I know, it's pretty crap and they want to cut child trust funds which is stupid. I've set one up for Isabella and that's going to be a bank account for her when she's 18 which can go towards driving lessons or uni. Not all parents can afford that so why are they going to cut it.

    I think if David Cameron had Labour's policies he would be a really good PM. Politics has never bothered me until now because it's really going to affect me and my family. Stupid conservatives. I can't wait to vote, I'm really for Labour.

    The conservatives should not be allowed to run this country! They plan on getting rid of all surestart centres which are a massive help to many new parents and young mums like myself, without them I would honestly be lost. Labour has done such a good job of getting us out of the recession. Next year I can vote though woohoo!

    Finally, someone else who can see that the BNP aren't all bad! I don't see them as racist, I simply think they are sticking up for British people in Britain. What's wrong with that?

    I can't stand David Cameron, but I would have voted for the Conservatives if I had a vote.

    Gordon Brown - by God, I feel sorry for the poor guy, but he is an utter fool. Two words: Ed Balls.

    I'm actually hoping this Lib/Conservative government happens. Simply because the policies and ideas that the Conservatives have I don't agree with, the Lib-Dem's oppose. Yeah, the Tories have been put in an awful position though.

    I don't agree with our voting system though. :\

    Apparently I'm the only one but I'd be happy to see some BNP seats around simply because they don't completely talk bullshit and someone has to stand up for the minorities. I'm fully against a lot of the things they say, but they do talk some sense in certain areas. :|

    My mate (whos on Mibba incidentally) had her Mam send her messages on her phone while we where at school tellin us the latest! Thank god our history teacher didn't find out, we'd be skinned.

    I agree, with politics it's either one extreme or the other. I just wish we could have a party that compromises to the public's wishes. We're always told to do things in moderation but the government can't take their own advice!

    V. I agree about the Lib-Lab government, though a hung parliament will only lead to another election, eventually, in which the conservatives will dominate, unfortunately. With the Conservatives, we really are screwed.

    I agree that there is an immigration problem, but I believe that Britain should be like Australia, where you have to prove that you would contribute to the economy by moving here. Again, I believe there's an issue with benefits, as people who don't work should do some form of community service. Conservatives, on the other hand, do take things a tad too far.

    I love politics, though I'm not that knowledgeable about it, being too young to be able to make a difference. Me and a friend constantly checked the results whilst at school, yesterday. We asked teachers to check it on their laptops, and anyone with free Internet on their phones. When we saw that conservatives couldn't get the 326 seats, oh god, ecstatic, much? xD
    In science, I wrote "Labour-Dem" on my fingers, haha.

    As much as I can't stand the Conservatives, I loathe the SNP >.<

    Thanks for replying, I really didn't think anyone would be bothered about politics.

    Now I do the maths I see. Lib-Lab was really what I was hoping for, but with the Conservatives (pardon my French) we're buggered. I personally support Labour in the big three but doesn't look like that's going to happen.

    Liberal Democrats and Labour can't be done, as they still wouldn't have 326 seats, which is needed.

    To be honest, I really can't stand the Conservatives, and I support Lib Dems.
    Yes, I believe that Labour should be running this country at the moment, but overall, I'm a Lib Dem.

    It annoys me that people don't use their vote, when I know of many people who would love to vote, including myself.
