Never ever ever could i vote Conservative.......especially since i bumped into Lee Anderson a few months ago..........who is now a Tory after being Labour.in my area of Ashfield........ex Miner who just goes with anything to stay in the limelight.....he just looks and sounds so False...probably be Lib/Dem after the next election....

I don't normally comment on Politics (i leave that to those who are much more 'Savvy'' can't spell 'Knowledgeable''............Obviously i have my views and they were formed as i grew up on a council estate with very working class people... However over the years my views have changed considerably...because of my experiences in life......haven't voted Labour since Tony Blairs awful mistakes......and simply cannot vote Tory as it would seem like a betrayal of my Roots..... So i won't be voting for any of the main Parties who to me all seem intent on loo
