I actually think Cameron is more central than most of the tory party, but my god he needs to get rid of stories like this... link

Interesting that labour are losing their vote to the BNP and yet its only Tories who are facists and why is every rich person who has tried to avoid paying tax a Tory ? But long as voters have preconceptions I don't suppose anything will ever change really , will it ? Maybe it says something when people like me (i'm only 21) hold these beliefs too as well as the older guard. Maybe it's true Some of the attitudes and behaviour of private school types at uni is shameful and just carries on the belief of what Tories are and stand for! My Labour allegncy is soley from what I've seen and witnessed at uni!

Labour have promised to call a vote on lowering the voting age in the commons if elected I believe. Which would no doubt be rejected. when I was 16 I didn't know anyone who actually took the remotest of interest in politics. It's not taught in our schools to any kind of level so how they can say that someone in this country who is 16 years old can make an informed decision on who to vote for is rubbish. when you are 16 it's football, fanny, fags, fruity alcoholic beverages, food, fannying about. This is true, it wasn't until I came to uni did I even understand the differences between tha parties and their names. However if at 16 you can pay tax and can join the army I think you should get the right to vote.

I wish our Uni had done that! But the Sabbs have been too busy canvassing with the local Tory candidate. Even though the Labout MP has signed the NUS Student pledge, and had no expense claims what so ever. For the record 300 Lib Dems, 200 Labour and only 10 Torys have signed the signed student pledge, ie not to vote for an increase in the CAP...

Just saw a Tory candidate on C4 News from Eaton I must add, just say that in his constinstuincy they speak the Queens English... Oh dear, is this modern Conservatives DC?

He is anti establishment to be fair. Quick internet search shows that he once applied to be New Statesman editor, which is left in nature!

Does anyone know what the BBCs reporters political alegncies are I know that Nick Robinson and Andrew Neil are Tories. Stephanie Flanders I think is more a less Tory, some of her recent blogs suggests she may be I'd guess that Andrew Marr is Labour Robert Peston is the son of a Labour Lord I think? Paxman? etc

If the Tories get in I can't see Chris Grayling being made Home Sec, didn't shine on the home sec debate on BBC 2 today. I don't think any did to be fair, which probably means A Johnson did best as he was defending a record (Labout har on ) Anyone else think that Andrew Neil is really going for the Lib Dems with his questions since last Thursday? Likewise Paxman to a certain extent.

Think if its theyve been here for 10 or more years, plus it gets them paying taxs and out of criminal circles...

You do it by doing what they do in the USA, put different departments in different cities (states in the USA), reducing London costs, spreading the wealth and talent around the country and not just London! Happens here to some extent. A lot of the DCSF (education) team are in Darlington.....but then people will only moan about the expenses when they have to travel to other parts of the country for Conferences. many of the DWP lot are in Sheffield too Every department with the exception of Home Office, Foreign Office and Treasury, as they have historic links of being in London should be in every city across the UK. And as for travel expenses for meetings? Video Confrencing?

Well its my career aim to be a Labour Local Councillor within ten years so I will do my upmost to ensure Brum gets one

They should do what they do / did in Birghton, lottery entry into state schools, then the peer effect can help everyone

I think you'll see a much better Villa Performance too, with the pressure and expectation on Newcastle

Hence the Alternative Vote, but reducing the number of MPs no way!

Why does everyone seem to think this is a good idea? Surely that makes the parilament less representative and it's not a solution for fiddling / corrupt MPs which seems to be the problem that led dave to this solution at least. This way the Torys would get more share of the vote in their favour as the large number of city constituinceys get broken down. I disagree with it strongly

Also I find it so hilarious how my Uni Sabbs have all of a sudden joined Vote Tory groups on Facebook, there all private school boys. It just makes me laugh they campaign about tuition fees, the environment and fairness yet they are voting Tory and actually all been appointed to the local Conservative Future campaign team

I sent all the PPC for Perry Barr the Power 20 Pledges or what ever they are called, only the Lib Dem took time to reply to me...

On the subject of Perry Barr had Khalid Mahmoods leaflet come through today, its very well put together!

Yes the immigrants in jobs figure is often the same migrant workers doing different temp jobs and it all being added up to reach that sum

James Cann owned the Tory economic policy on Newsnight! Should be viewing for every voter in this country! Explained it better than Labour have to be fair

Deeney was at LB and Captain? Thought Lampkin was brillant when moved up front

VAT is a regressive tax! It would be reduced to 10% if I ever came to power in a decade or two!

Labour Party: 66% Liberal Democrats: 55% Green Party: 53% Id say that is about right, I am after all a Labour Party Member

With regards the young NUS is majority left. Infact the two top boys are Labour! At my uni the Guardian is the best selling newspaper too!
