Who to vote for?

There's a General Election taking place this week. Come Friday morning we could quite likely have a brand new leader.

But who to vote for?

Labour. They've been in power for the last 13 years, and the country is, I think we'll all agree, not in a good way. But we're on the road to recovery. Should we change the government and risk putting us back a bit? Or would a change do us good?

Conservative. On the surface I like David Cameron. He's young(er), energetic and seems to say the right things. But he resembles a life insurance salesman. He'll say all the right things to get a sale, but read the small print and you'll realise you've been swindled.

The Lib Dems are probably my favourite. But there's something about Nick Clegg. He seems like a nice bloke and all, but I have a feeling they're not quite as well prepared, the sums might just not add up. He's like a school supply teacher, would be a nice change but in the long run won't do us any good.

And the SNP. Well where to start. I like most of their policies. Except their main one. Independence for Scotland? I don't see them dropping that one in a hurry. No thanks.

Who to vote for? Can't make up my mind. Thankfully I don't have to decide. I stupidly didn't get my name on the electoral register in time.

Women threw themselves in front of race horses for the right to vote. Countries are fighting because they don't have the option to vote. And I foolishly didn't put my forms in the free post envelope in time. I'm ashamed with myself, really I am.
