The party which doesn't have corrupt politicians,gets our troops home from a war we can't win and spends the money saved on our country,only allows people to get bonuses when the money has been made.
Money earned for British source is taxed in Britain,stops giving foreign aid and stars here first,is prepared to do something drastic about immigration,
stops bowing down to Europe and puts Britain first.

In short nobody

I'm not at all afraid to say in public that I am voting Conservative.

I always have and I always will

He looked at me like I was from another planet (say nowt, lass!) and said "Eh? So, are you going to vote for Mr So-and-so?"
Sounds about right... Sigh. I'll bet they are used to being asked "Can I have more money!?" tsh.

That's why people prefer to remain anonymous when they vote.
Some people need to get over themselves really.

We're not at war now are we?
Didn't he get voted back in though? Turns out he was good in peace time.

i believe a lot of his time after being voted back in was overshadowed by controversy by his dealings over foreign issues, he was rather blinkered it seems in how he wanted Britain to be seen as a foreign power and often threw troops at problems when other tactics may have been better served.

i wish to reitterate im not attacking him, merely pointing out some facts
