Election

First of all, I have to admit, I know absolutely nothing and I mean nothing about politics. I could barely have told you which party Gordon Brown represents, still think Tony Blair lives in 'the white house' and I certainly don't have any clue about who I would want to come in to power. However, even someone as ignorant to politics such as I, can't have avoided the election coverage over the past few weeks. I think with the three main parties getting involved in debates was a little unfair on the other parties who are competing for the vote also, as there has been little knowledge on them whatsoever I feel. Of course we all know the effects and influence TV can have on thousands of people in our society, and evidence shows the polls increasing towards particular parties after the first debate live on TV. I must admit, I actually enjoyed Gordon Browns screw-up when he called someone a 'bigoted' woman, because he was simply being honest. It would be interesting to see whether this will have effected the publics views and therefore their vote, however I personally feel more inclined to vote for him because of it. It was also brought to my attention the awful Tori lady who decided that she could 'cure' homosexuals, which to be honest makes me sick. I think someone needs to get with the times and take her head out of the sand and realize that its not a crime to be homosexual - its a crime to have an attitude like hers. I was completely put off the tori party because of this one woman, and this just shows how easily people can be persuaded, especially people like me who have little information about politics. In general, I feel the coverage for the three main parties has been strong however the smaller parties have had little or no coverage that I have seen. I'll be quite happy when all this election business will be over! Peace.
