Just thinking... does anyone else always feel noticeably less well informed when its election time? I've never been so puzzled as to whats going on cause they propaganded me so hard. They spend so much time banging on about really irrelevant stuff, particularly all these seemingly hard-hitting but actually extremely short term/inefectual solutions to MRSA.
Anyway my home constinuency went Conservative again with a few percent increase as well.

yeah it's all bollocks. i've been (un)lucky enough to be able to sit watching the television constantly over the past month. they say pretty words but it'a all meaningless soundbites and empty promises. there will be no change, and i don't think that was ever in any doubt.

i've ignored all campaigning by any party, ( has been easy as i've given up t.v - except for this circumstance watching the results) and have ignored all leaflets and canvassing. unfortunatley if you wanna cut out all the crap, you gotta find things out yourself.

And yes limiting higher education to the top 20% will do wonders for your economy by
neatly seperating out the poor and minorities that go to the
shittest schools under the most deplorable conditions.
Which part of the statement,
"You would naturally offer slight balancing for those from deprived backgrounds (in the same manner that oxbridge colleges currently do)."
did you fail to grasp? Are you one of these tedious people who intentionally 'misunderstand' people, or do you just skim read other people's posts without actually taking in the meaning and then say something that makes no sense/has already been covered? If you work/study, I pity anyone who has to have meetings with you.
Also, as I've already mentioned with regard to withdrawal from the EU, it has nothing to do with education. My biggest gripe is that another country can change our law, without consulting us (yes, I used to believe that was a reactionary exaggeration too, until I actually studied EU). Worth noting that when the original countries signed up, this was never mentioned and it was only due to some rather sick case law in Holland that it actually became precedent.
Now 'they' can overrule our democratically elected government, not only on things they should debateably be able to, like human rights violations (which, in the UK is largely uneccessary anyway), but things that are none of their business/do not affect them.
Re: Election results. Well, as I predicted, labour got in. Thankfully, a reduced majority, so perhaps Labour will stop taking the piss to the same degree they have been, for fear of being ousted next time round.

So can anyone clarify what the upcoming referendum on the EU is about? Will it be about leaving the EU?
If so i had better leave as soon as possible.

Don't worry, it doesn't matter what we say, they'll do what they want (as it's labour, stay in). The only sort of refurendum that matters is a binding one: one that they have to do as the voters say. Any other sort (as this is highly likely to be) would be little more than an opinion poll and an illusion of some say for the man in the street.
One of the BNP's good policies is that of binding referendums. Shame I disagree with some of their other policies...
A lot of liberal people are under the illusion that membership the EU somehow makes for a more liberal approach to law, etc. This is not the case.
Have a gander at this: EU Constitution Revision.
The only reason I can see for this is that typically the left parties want to stay in, the right parties want to withdraw. To associate continued membership as favourable to the left's interests is unwise.

My main concern is the freedom that i have to live and work in any country within the eu. This is the basis of a longterm plan. I would feel cheated if i had that oppotunity taken away from me.

I reluctantly voted Labour yesterday. I mean they have done some good.
Here's why:
The Iraq War- 100,000 people dead!
PHI- Yes, any public service left, we'll privatise it and call it Modernisation. School canteens sponsored by Pepsi, profit driven private health companies being integrated into the NHS resulting in the closure of city centre hospitals in cost cutting drives.
More privatisation! buses, trains, you name it!
Did I mention privatisation?
Britain Forward Not Back.
Still, better than the Tories, dear God.
