Personally, I think any politician only has one interest: themselves. Especially after the whole Expenses scandal, & I don't trust any of them.
With regards to my own personal politics, I would vote Tory. - Cameron to his credit, was one of the few MPs who did not make grand claims for expenses, and his actions are more encouraging than any MP, tory or not, who fiddled the books with mortgages/second home flipping etc.
Now, I read a lot here about how Labour may be bad, but the Tories would be much worse.
Seriously? How much worse could they be?
Under Gordon Brown, we've seen the worst unemployment records since records began, the first speaker to be given a vote of no confidence since records began, 3 cases where highly secretive data has been lost/stolen/made available to the public domain, the worst & longest recession in history, an economy that has completely failed (despite the PM boasting that while he was chancellor, the economy was strong), the pound falling below the Euro in value, an 8 year (and still ongoing) issue with the catastrophe of the Equitable Life, the collapse of Northern Rock despite huge amounts of money being pumped in to prop it up), admittances to screwing up the health service, the police, & immigration laws, involvement in a prolonged war that we don't want, and a scandal so big & far-reaching that it has permeated every section of society and drained every good citizen's faith in the people who are supposed to look after us, not to mention a string of gaffes. Finally, to top it all off, rather than bow out gracefully, he has insisted that Labour are the best people for the job, and that he will sort it all out.
It's unlikely that the Tories will be the saviours they are claiming to be, but I'd sooner have a few sex scandals, or a few corrupt politicians getting exposed for cash for questions, rather than this shower of shit we currently have for a cabinet.
Lib Dems are way too wishy washy too. The UK has a problem with 14 year old single mums claiming council houses & state benefits, while their ex-boyfriends (a.k.a the baby's father) are usually on the dole, claiming benefits that they spend on new trainers and cannabis. Justice is way too lenient on criminals, to the point where they would sooner send murderous kids on rehab holidays, and immigrants catching a whiff of weakness in the UK come over & grab as much as they can get, shouting "racism" & "infringement of human rights" if they don't get their way.
BNP - forget it! They may be the only party with the balls to deal with the scroungers & fraudsters, but nobody would feel safe walking the streets. It would set the advances that the UK has made in respecting race & diversity back to the 18th century. Violent crime would increase, and the globabl market would turn their back on us.
Bottom line? The houses of parliament needs a complete reform. I propose a V for Vendetta style bombing, and a new, fairer and more open system put in its place.
