They have my vote. I suppose if they actually achieve power they will end up as bent as the rest of them though.

D.C. Has an annoying patrician way, as if he knows better than us.
G.B. Gives off the impression of constant economy with the truth. And can't lie half as well as "Swiss" Tony Blair.

N.C. Appears something of a wet-pants, but that could be good.

I'm not sure I should have the vote though. I instinctively distrust people in suits.

That gave me a good chuckle! The Labour party are relatively young, and came from the Unions and other socialist groups. Never noticed the similar basic ideology? Labour can't force/use the Unions to do anything. The Unions are Labour party supporters, not the other way round. That's why they're sending you letters. Perhaps you should be directing you anger at your union for spending your contributions on party politics.
In contrast the Torries came from the landowners and money in society. The torries can trace thier roots back to a time when only men with money COULD vote.

Oh I'm perfectly aware that the union are supporters, and yes you are right about who I should be annoyed at for sending me letters. But, they are still hand in hand, and in my eyes even these people are as bad as each other. Union shouldn't be spending their contributions on party politics, nor should they be open supporters of a party. I don't like subliminal voting tactics, and in my eyes this is what it is.

As for their personalities - it shouldn't be about that, or their wives/pasts/haircuts/car choice - it should be about what they can do to run OUR country efficiently and improve OUR lives, without slagging each other off like Boxers before a fight!
