I would describe myself as fairly well informed and actually quite a little bit interested in politics. Even more so now with the election being only ten days away. But I am bored of the politic debate... it has become a very negative campaign with two out of the three mainstream leaders now knocking the others' policies rather than championing their own. When they aren't doing this, they are saying very little of anything of any substance. The third, who I think will do the best job needs to take the gloves off a bit more and join in. And I don't mean Clegg here...
With ten days left and the 'polls' seemingly 'level' (depending which poll you read)... the bookies are laying odds on a hung parliament... which I think would be bad. If the polls are to be believed, we could end up with a Prime Minister that over 70% of the population doesn't want.
What happened to 'old style' campaigning? I haven't seen a single candidate campaigning for anything.... apart from on TV. I didn't even know what my MP looked like until he got collared in the expenses shakedown last year.
I think the next parliament is going to be hard... and whoever wins this election, won't win the next. People seem to have very short memories when it comes to 'who caused the political mess'...
As for myself; I already know who I'll be voting for next week. And his name doesn't even appear on the voting forms... I'll be voting for me. The press keep talking about the 'floating' voters but what about the 'selfish' ones? I have always voted the same way, I agree with the party policies, but that aside, whoever gets this 'victory' in the election it is going to be a difficult term, so whichever party does me the biggest favour gets my vote. And if that makes me selfish then so be it...
