Spending my night studying for my marketing research exam/waiting to see who wins the election.
I swear, if the Conservatives win, it'll be the worst thing to happen to this country. The fact that David Cameron said, "We now recognise the needs of the under privileged" (or something to that effect) says it all, I don't think they really care about anything other than tax breaks for the rich and making social mobility more difficult.
That's just what I think though, we'll see.

@B1B2 I'm more interested in it now because it's the first time I've been able to vote. What they do affects me, so I think it'd be better if more people my age cared.

@louisesararuth There is no doubt what you say is true
This election will be far from ordinary. It is not only a referendum on Brown, who became party leader and prime minister in 2007, after waiting ten years for the more charismatic Tony Blair to resign; it is also a referendum on Labour's 13 years in power and, on an even more basic level, on the economic principles that have guided the party's rule. It is in such moments that, as Karl Marx once mused, "all that is solid melts into air." Britain has had a few such upheavals before. The 2010 election will likely be one, and its consequences for foreign and domestic policy will be profound.

This brings us to the second problem: all that had seemed solid (that is, the British economic wonder) melted into air. By the end of Blair's tenure, the financial sector constituted nearly 10 percent of British GDP (almost double what it had been in the previous decade), around 40 percent of corporate profits, and was the source of over 20 percent of taxes. Economic growth was increasingly concentrated in the financial sector, and real wages began to stagnate. When the global financial crisis hit in 2008, Brown's government had to commit over 25 percent of a substantially smaller GDP to rescuing the banks -- and it did so on a much reduced tax base. In the meantime, poverty rose and welfare programs, such as unemployment compensation, kicked in. By 2010, the government's deficit had ballooned to a size exceeded in Europe only by the so-called PIGS: Portugal, Ireland, Greece, and Spain.

If Blair's folly was to get too close to Bush, Brown's was that he never met a banker he did not like. This was forgivable until it became apparent to the voters that the miracle of Brown's Third Way -- low taxes with high spending, low inflation with high employment -- was a mirage, and Britons were left with a future of higher taxes, lower spending, and higher unemployment. The public understandably felt cheated.

@louisesararuth However, we must know that the media people out of power thinking and analysis
I mean, if you were a year ago to this great interest in the political situation and elections
What is the best and most efficient way to control the world?

Two words

Control minds
The first two databases:
I do not believe anything the government says to me ... None ... Zero
(:

So I do not listen to their words
I do not believe my country the right to believe

This is all talking about the media and politicians

The things that divide us and tear us the things that make us different from each other
Thus, the ruling class operates in any society

Trying to differentiate the rest of the people
Kept the middle classes and bad in a fight lasting

So they are .. "Rich" capture all the fucking money

You know, focus on anything to make you hate some of the
Race, religion, ethnic background and national posts
Financial income, education, social level, sexual orientation

Anything Ibakona with bumping into each other so that they can continue to go to the bank
I am talking about the real owners of this country in
The interests of large and giant corporations that control everything
It is a great club but you are not involved that you and I are not significant by participants in the club
