Tory Bliar (and you can guess what I think of him by what I call the little bastard) says that he has done a lot for education and health care. He says that because his party has done so much for these admittedly vital services, they should be re-elected for a third term whenever he deigns to permit us to vote again.<p>I disagree. He should not be elected based on his track record on these services. He *certainly* shouldn't be elected because of his sucking up to His Majesty King George Bush the Second, and for the crimes he is responsible for in the middle east.<p>He should, however, be re-elected on the ground that while he might be a Tory bastard, he isn't as disgustingly right-wing as the *real* Tory Bastard Party has become.<p>I myself would vote Liberal Democrat if there were an election tomorrow, on the grounds that they are the most left-wing of the major parties. But also because regardless of who I vote for, the constituency in which I live will *never* return a Tory scumbag. Therefore it doesn't matter if I 'waste' a vote on the third party. If I thought my vote mattered, I'd vote for Bliar, regardless of what I think of him, on the grounds that I would rather chew my own foot off than vote Conservative.<p>The Tories should pay attention to the fact that people will vote for those they despise rather than vote for Tories. 2003-07-05T00:22:00Z
