[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 750572, member: 6467"] Trust nobody! For those who think Labour are NHS friendly, they should remember that it was Labour who started all the PFI nonsense to get NHS spending "off the books" and put a lot of money into the pockets of their financier friends. The NHS is now crippled with debts owing to these private firms who either make a fortune from interest payments or walk away leaving debts behind if they aren't making enough money. [Guess who reads Private Eye!] Remember that the left wing Labour Party no longer exists - it was never electable in any recent times - and has been replaced by New Labour (basically a takeover of a weak party by a new wave of political activists) which is a business friendly centrist party leaning towards the right with policies which are remarkably similar to Conservative and Lib Dem. So Tories and New Labour are likely to carry on doing what they have been doing over the last several governments which is making the rich richer and the poor poorer. UKIP and the Greens are coming across as groups of nutters at the moment. Lib Dems lost a lot of credibility by joining the coalition but if you want to avoid voting for the usual suspects they seem to be the only remaining option. Basically yet another protest vote which will register as not voting for the two other major parties. It would be nice to see "non of the above" on the ballot paper. Cheers LGC [/QUOTE]
