Howard or Blair? | Imamother

I am British and the general elections are going to be soon so all the parties are having their turn at voicing what they stand for.
Over here there are really two main parties Labour and Conservative but I think the Liberal Democrats are getting too close for comforts at 3rd party.
Liberals are out when it comes to safety of the British public and especially Israel, they are all kissy kissy to the muslems. Labour
I don't like Gordon Brown and then Jack Straw is a Israel hater.
Labour have been in government since 1997.
I agreed with Blair's stance on anti terrorism and I had no problem with war on Iraq. They have been alright with stuff like benefits but I get benefits and sometimes I wonder if they do any good at all. To really get a good deal you have to be disabled, have kids, not work at all and no studying either.
Also here we have the EU problem, Labour seem to be more willing to join the EU and personally I don't like the EU and I don;'t like Brussels telling me what to do and then they have power to overrule what the courts have said.
Also another issue is the amount of assylum seakers coming over here.
Labour don't seem to be strict enough.
Conservative, Michael Howard is the leader, he is Jewish, but more people pick up on the fact that his parents were from Romania and they joke about him being dracula.
He is not so pro EU and he seems to be stricter on Assylum laws coz the people that tend to come in sometimes are terrorists when they come from Muslim countries, some are genuine and really are fleeing their country coz they are in danger.
He seems more pro Israel, at least he doesn't have an anti semitic foreign secretary. I generally would vote Conservative.
Then you have the Liberals, they go neither here nor there, they don't know what they stand for, they are a bunch of hypocrits and racists and have no thought for security.
Then you have another party which won seats last election, UKIP - UK Independence Party. They stand for anti EU and stronger laws when it comes to assylum. But I don't think they are a big enough party for me to want to vote for them.
I don't know much about the Kerry and Bush thing, but I think both are mad, Bush is a nut case and Kerry is a Liberal and I don't think much of Liberals, they tend to think the world can live in peace all of a sudden and all humanity is the same.
