The next General Election will be very interesting. Brown should hand his cards in now and save what little face he has left. Still haven't got a clue who I'd vote for out of this bunch
23 - 20 - 4
Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions

For the EU elections last week there was enough choice on the ballot paper to keep everyone happy, from the far right to the far left and plenty in between. And if you don't like any of them, stand yourself.
I think the 'they're all the same' argument is pretty naive and ill-informed - if I'm not happy with the person I voted for last time, I vote for someone different next time to get them out of office, as is the general idea. If nobody voted, nothing would ever change (or even stand a chance of doing so).
Quite right.... people who don't vote have no right to express an opinion, as they have forfeited that right... So vote or just shut up. Should be compulsary as in Australia..
I don’t get all this "protest" vote malarkey. If these folk who voted are so British then surely they might realise the links between the BNP and Nazi/Fascist groups across the globe. This includes the KKK!.
When will people realise that we are an Island Nation and that we have been colonised by everyman and there dog over the last 2000 years (and before). We have always been building on immigration.
Did anyone else get the BNP leaflets through the post?. The amount of Bo*&cks it contained made me chuckle. At one point it blamed immigrant Polish workers for stealing jobs etc, the next paragraph it praised our war heroes and likened the BNPs fight to the "Battle of Britain"!!!!!. Don’t these fools know that the Polish Air force helped out the RAF during the conflict?.

Why though?
Can they not express why they didn't vote?
[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]

To be fair you don't know all the parties political manifestos so you can't really say they're all the same and I suppose it doesn't put you in a position to give an informed optinion. That being said, I didn't vote either due to me not knowing much about the whole thing.
