They have more or less the same policies. It just depends on who you prefer as the leader of your country.

Most of the Parties policies overlap massivly. Im not sure what the main difference are. What changes can i expect from a Conservative government? Im presuming they will get into power next year.

I just wanted a list.

I dont know Outlawauron. Im 14 and have just been told that they all have more or less the same policies. I know that the conservatives are getting rid of inheritance tax. Thats quite major.

Well it kinda bums me out that so many people hate all their political parties even when they have more then two.

Voting for Republicans and Democrats is like voting for a kick in the groin or a poke in the eye.

The kick in the groin hurts more in the short term, but the poke in the eye can cause more long term damage.

Interesting to see the European elections shift the continent to the right....That's a shock.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Still... only somewhat.  I mean the right wing picked up a lot of seats but they're still the minority.

Most amusing is Sweeden's Pirate Party getting 7% of the national vote.

The right (and I mean the centre-right which would correspond to left of the US Democrats) have gained because they are seen as more fiscally responsible. The bailouts and tax cuts that left-wing parties have given appear not to have worked but have worsened the debt situation.
