I hope they are asked to explain their views about the IDcard/database and all the other databases and surveillance in the UK.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05594795794677984027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492893503803541461.post-1739181133270725212010-04-10T20:57:13.179+01:002010-04-10T20:57:13.179+01:00I shall be voting for UK independence.

I find it outrageous and totally undemocratic, that over 70% of UK legislation originates in Brussels, NOT Britain!<br />That leaves us, the British, with control of a huge total of around 30%. Does it matter who is PM if we only control 30%?<br />I want my (our) country back and I want a say as to what laws are passed here.<br />There ...I've had my say.<br />On the point of issues, there are too many to list, but ID, big brother,and all this is very worrying.Bernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024557597864373705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492893503803541461.post-84756381066970537162010-04-08T12:27:11.066+01:002010-04-08T12:27:11.066+01:00Thank you, Lis!

I bet most of the British public feel the same way you do! And no matter which party wins, it is hard to be optimistic about any new sweeeping changes they promise. Promises are easy to make, it's following through that seems difficult! <br /><br />Indeed, we can only hope that something good will come out of the election.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05594795794677984027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492893503803541461.post-67157766414260564802010-04-07T09:10:29.152+01:002010-04-07T09:10:29.152+01:00I've always voted and I will this time but I&#...I've always voted and I will this time but I've become really disillusioned with politics over the past year. <br />Sadly I don't think that much will change whatever they say or do. <br />I live in hope!
