what election are you talking bout put the link in in so whe can choose who has to win the election

whats a hung gouvernment? is that like a minority gouvernment

I would like to see Labour get in for another four years, I trust Blair a lot more than Michael Howard and certainly a lot more than Charles Kennedy. Michael Howard has got flustered and sometimes acts rude to people who ask him questions to which he can't fully answer and Kennedy's plans seem to be a little unrealistic and to get rid of council tax is just a stupid way to get votes. Also in his broadcasts he just slags off the other parties with stupid comments, imo. Basically very few people trust the Lib Dems so they are just saying whatever they can to get in and not care about the country. Unlike the Lib Dems Blair seems relaxed, his plans are down to earth and his party have always been very open to discussion and never seem to get flustered or annoyed.

A hung government is where the party in power is only in power because they got the more votes than any other parties, not because they had an overall majority. It means that any constitutions they try to pass will usually be voted against, and they party in power is humiliated for 4 years, during which the other governments can get their acts together and the elections 09 will have parties worth voting for.

Hung Parliament (Wikipedia)

ok ya thats we call a hung gouvernment in canada a Minority Gouvernment like we have now

I'm not sure who I'll be voting for if I get my voting papers in time.  I know it certainly wont be the conservative party, and I'm not too fond of Labour either.  That's mainly because of the tuition fee rubbish.

As someone who's about to go to uni, I'm going to be between £2,000-£6,000 in debt after my first year.  That's a lot, but is nothing compared to what it would be under Labour's new plan.

* musicalmidget hopes he's registered to vote in time...

I personally (althought I can't vote) believe that Labour should stay in power. I don't think that the Tory's idea of allmost abolishing immigration is clever. They obviously overlooked the fact that due to falling birth rates soon there won't be enough people paying taxes to sustain the amount of spending we are without rasing them. Also what right has a immigrint himself got to stop others coming to our country like he did? Sounds exceptionally hypocritical to me. And well the Lib Dem's have never been in power and allthough I like them more than the conservatives I think everyone else who likes them will also be voting Labour. What about the Monster Raving Looney Party's plan to make a 99p coin. I love those guys.
