Comment on General Election 2010 Poll Results by Helen.

There is a choice to be made at the next election, and people who say ‘they’re all the same’ or ‘nobody’s qaulified to run this country’ are ruining their opportunity to have a say but not finding out the facts for themselves. Are some MPs in it for themselves? Yes. Are some politicians immoral? Yes. Rather like the general population, some of them are undesirable. However I genuinely think that some people go into politics to make a difference and speak up for what they believe in, and we need to use our vote to make an informed choice.

We are very slowly coming out of a global recession. We have things like the minimum wage. As an NHS worker I can say first hand that the NHS has come on leaps and bounds since 1997 and waiting times have reduced massively. I don’t think this recession has been as painful as the one in the 80s because there haven’t been as many repossessions or mass unmeplyment, and we have come out if it much better than other European countries. Labour have tried to help unlike the Tories in the 80s who stood by and watched and appeared not to care less. That is why I will vote Labour at the next election. Not because I think this party is perfect, but because I think they best represent the interests of normal people.

Can I also add that there seems to have been a huge increse in whining, whinging moaners in this country who continuously talk down the UK and go on about ‘Broken Britain’, which is essentially a media driven concept. I think Britain is a lot less borken than it was in the 80s and 90s, that is my subjective opinion. I happen feel lucky to live in the UK, and think that although it is not perfect, it is a country I am proud of.
