I have to wear glasses instead of contacts because my eyes are so dry from staring at a screen. I have big green eyes, they're my best feature, and now they're hidden by specs and I'm vain and I HATE IT.
On a more serious note, I recognize everything you've said in myself Wally. I'm not sure there's a solution- if there is, let me know won't you?
It's a difficult one Eska. I've considered voting Green as I agree with almost all of their policies but something IS holding me back. At least if Lib Dems get in we would see proportional representation so there will be no such thing as a wasted voteat the next election.

When has it shown any of those things 4matt? Or are you trying to understand the rationale behind socialist policies generally?
Edit: As a brief answer, I grew up on a council estate and may be seen to have 'excelled' myself by getting to PhD stage but those were because of advantages I had in my familial situation. What a hyprocrite I would be if I didn't try to ensure that more children from working class backgrounds could get to university and enjoy all the benefits I have had from it.

Well for me, it's more a matter of principle. Even if they don't win I've stuck by my guns and voted for who I believe should. And it's such a defeatist way of thinking. Do we want to end up like the American system?
Thanks for explaining 4matt, I do understand that. I quite like a bit of debate myself, but I'll have no personal insults on my thread :-)
Edit: self-fulfilling prophecy is proably more accurate than 'defeatist'
Not having a pop at you at all 4matt, but a genuine question. Why do so many people like to keep their votes secret? I was thinking about this when I posted the question because I know some people see these things as 'private'. I can't really understand why?
