Anyone Else Had Enough of Labour?

For ages now I've given Labour the benefit of the doubt in running the country but now I've had enough of them, it just seems to be scandal after scandal. They lack common sense and get basic things wrong.
Maybe it's time for a new government but who can replace Labour and make things better?....
Conservatives? NO
Liberal Democrats? NO
So what do I do in a years time when the General Election is upon us? Right now I don't feel like voting as I don't feel any party is competant enough to run our country.
I've had enough.

To be fair im kind of in the same position, i can vote for the first time come election day on June 10th, but im unsure who to vote for. I mean don't support Blair at all, but my views seem to be in line with the party's backbenchers. What do i do!
I would rather see a Conservative government than the BNP ever getting a foothold:eek2:
someone is going to have to be about 100 to remember the last Liberal Government!
*is currently studying The decline of the liberal party for part of history A Level*
i would like to see labour remain in power ...but we should all make it perfectly clear that if tony bush stays they won't get our vote.
can you believe that tones going to america to boost bush's election chances! that is not labour ...old or new.
somehow we have to get the message across that tony must go ...
Care to run that by me again?
Even today with Dracula's 'firm but fair' party and all that mantra we would still have a Tory government bent on cutting taxes and public services.
If nobody is worth voting for, isn't it about time to get rid of the deadwood and bring democracy back to Britain?
They're taking big steps towards a serious revolt (a la Poll Tax) with each fuck up be it past, present or future.
If that's not sounding alarm bells, I don't know what would.
I wont be voting labour in again, but then, im not too pleased about the prospect of a conservative government either.
If you don't like Labour or the Conservatives vote Lib-Dem, Green, one of the Socialist parties (if their standing in your area), whatever just vote. People have and continue to die for a right we are reluctant to use. No point in bitching on the internet if you can't be arsed to walk down to the polling stattion.
:yes: i dont get people not voting, unless they detest all the options i guess...
ill be voting.. i can see the BNP getting more popular anyway at the moment, and that cant be a good thing.
Socialist, i am really considering voting socialist. Though i guess they are unlike to field a candidate in the home counties! :rolleyes: Look at the Scottish Parliament though, there is a left wing alternative up there, with the Scottish Socialist Party having 6 seats. Perhaps if all the different little socialist parties in the UK pulled their weight together maybe they could get somewhere.
in the part of the world where i intend to live, precisely the same thing is happening but under a Liberal-run Coalition fronted by John Howard...
He's attempting to make it harder for poor people to go to university, trying to scrap medicare, put tafe fees up by 500% and sent his people to war without any proof of weapons of mass destruction. sound familiar?
most people who voted for him are rich folk... and the only reason i have any respect for him at all is that he speaks his mind on political correctness and was hard on asylum seekers. he even ruined his 'mate of the people' image when he had such a surly face giving the medals to 'your' boys when they won the world cup.....
In australia they're pretty much all planning to vote for a labor government next time round, run by a mark latham (although hopefully without any consideration whatsoever given to the Badgerys Creek second Sydney airport project....)
and the ALP IS more of a people's party, which summarises how righty UK labour has become
You are considering? Have you looked at your avatar lately?
I voted for the Socialist Party (PSOE) for the first time on the 14th of March like many other Communist Party (IU) voters (Spain). I don't know enough about British politics to decide who I'll vote for here, but if I see that the Cons have a chance to win I'll vote Labour. If not I might vote for the Socialist Party, or maybe the Communist one... is there one? I haven't looked at there programs yet.
Shouldn't this be in a new thread? Or maybe the one about randomness in anything goes....
Socialism is just an added step to the communist theory. That symbol has been used by socialists (and false socialists) aswell as communists (and false communists). Realy that symbol represents the International wich had communists, socialists and up to one point even anarquists...
From what I've seen the Socialist Party consider themselves real socialists, wich means they would use this symbol as opposed to the Spanish party that isn´t Socialist but social-democrat...
