I know, budget questions not allowed, but... I know of no more cleverer bunch of people around, so here goes...

 

If this govt makes a budget proposal now, if they don't get in power in May, can the new govt throw it out or are they bound (no pun ) to accept it. or if they like it ..keep it.

1- here are some of the links i found from different sources, you are more than welcome to make your own mind up, but I feel there's no smoke without fire:

2- I only know a handful of people and they are similar to me, I didnt claim to know all the people in my area and i think i did say that where I live is a big tory area with lots of rich londoners living in country home and wealthy landowners/farmers.

 

3- im glad you agree that voting is important, I watched "the idiots guide to polictics" on BBC iPlayer. He makes the point that people are willing to pay £££/min to vote on X-factor/american idol/strickly, but they cant be bother to vote for thier freedom. Its well worth a watch and seeing "Ol' Nigel" dressed up as a builder to escape the cameras was quite funny! :lol:

 

Can I make the point that Im not trying to make you all feel and vote the way I feel/will vote? You all still own 300's, so no matter what you vote, we are all here to enjoy each others 300 love first and foremost! :thumbup::thumbup:

 

LOL - I know mate; and I'm with you there.... We all have our own opinions politically and we'll go away and believe what argument(s) we chose; and exercise that democratic right. Hopefully!!
