Blair, who has morped into a right-wing cunt, and Michael Howard, who is a well-established right-wing cunt, and Charles Kennedy (Lib-Dems), who doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of getting in.

3. Well, at least Michael is an honest cunt |
|
So which is most desirable?
I will link y'all to my site. Good luck to you. Hope it works out better for you than it did for us. Don't forget. Paper ballots. Must have paper ballots. Say it with me. Paper ballots.
I hear Blair is now beating the war drum on Iran. You'd think he'd learned by now.

5. We'd never dream of anything other than paper. |
|
Our elections are more simple, one is only voting for 1 member of Parliament (the government is formed by the majority party in the House of Commons) so there is no need to go beyond paper.
The problem comes with the current experiments with all postal ballots which make jiggery pokery much easier.

6. My choice would be Kennedy |
|
but as that's unlikely, I don't care which of the others it is - so long as they have a very tiny majority, or preferably none at all. I find the whole thing confusing, all the information suggests an easy win for Bliar - yet Labour seem to be running really scared - the anti-semitic attacks on Letwin and Howard have been extraordinary.

4. I don't buy this idea of supporting Blair |
|
The idea of this f**ker still on the world political scene drives me insane. I think that Charles Kennedy and the Lib-Dems should be given a better chance rather than being written off. I do believe that the Labour party needs to be taught a lesson about the support they gave for this immoral war.

7. So do they, it's a very Orwellian site |
|
They mean the exact opposite of "Back Blair."
I love the poster "No alternative."
Read the FAQ.

I laughed my head-off. True British satire.
Most Americans will not likely understand, even if they do read your FAQ.
What was the front page of the Daily Mirror when Bush was reselected?!!
Hope you guys succeed!!

11. How many people are going to go to a tiny link that |
|
actually explains they're against Blair? If they are against Blair they should make it clearer. This seems a bit silly...but maybe I'm not getting it?

12. Did you watch that documentary The Office? |
|
It was jolly good. I never knew offices were like that in real life. If they added a laugh-track, it could very well have been a comedy.

13. Well, maybe, but I'm not sure you have the 'car crash' compulsiveness |
|
that great satire needs - ie "this is so horrible, but I can't help looking at it". At the moment, too much of it looks like "I love Tony" without any specifics - eg "I luv Tone because he listens to people, but doesn't pay attention to those millions of protestors who think they have a right to be heard". In particular, you have to go to the FAQ before you even suggest that people vote against Labour, rather than just call them a bunch of wankers and go to the pub instead. My first reaction to the main page was to go no further.
But I admire you for your work on the PM's email facility (shame his office never answers) (I presume you are Tim Ireland, and not a group entity).

... and people also get the vote against Tony message if they enter their postcode or seek information about any given constituency.
