Election 2005 - The Real "Real Alternative" To Labour
Without further ado, the solution to voter apathy and the real "Real Alternative" that speaks to the real "Forgotten Majority".

Re: Election 2005 - The Real "Real Alternative" To Labour
I would vote for any party whose founder used to have Ritchie Blackmore in his band.
Sadly they don't have a candidate standing in my area

I only stay up to watch for any funny bits.
The best parts are usually the Declaration for the party leaders.
Why? Because, everyone wants to be on the same stage as someone famous, don’t they?!!
They are done live. And all the good stuff gets edited out – very, very quickly.
My previous best moment had come at John Major’s Declaration in Huntingdon.
The guy who was dressed in black from head to foot with a massive big tall black hat HAD to be treated the same as all the other candidates, including the Prime Minister. He’d paid his deposit, so he was entitled to be up there on that stage. [And before anyone starts NO IT WAS NOT !!!!]
Well, mid-very early-this morning, all the waiting was worthwhile when the OMRLP provided my “Star of the Night”, and a minor classic.
“We’re now going over live to Folkestone for Michael Howard’s Declaration…….”
The candidates are standing on the stage in alphabetical order.
The Returning Officer opens up with his official patter, and then starts to work down the line giving each candidate’s name and total.
This is being done from the TV viewer’s left
After each candidate’s result, there is this murmur and a clap, and its coming from the right, not the audience……..
Then we get to
“Jug, Lord Toby, Monster Raving Loony”
I mean, what a great guy. He applauded all his fellow candidates, and just wanted to slap them on the back, and say “Well Done”
Remember, the Returning Officer has to keep a straight face through all this, by the way.
But the best was to come.
Michael Howard starts his speech and his Lordship gives his enthusiastic approval to every single point Mr H makes……..
I felt ill I was laughing so much.
POS
Still awake, after a hard night's election and a VERY busy day at work!

A funny yet disturbing incident last night was seeing Malcolm 'A.N.Other Vampire' Rifkind coming out to shake hands with what looked liked a small number of supporters.
Exit Rifkind from some building or other into the full glare of cameras looking distinctly as if he'd just been caught on the job with his neighbour's wife - or maybe standing on a table naked with a plastic bag over his head and a mains cable round his neck?
Following Rifikind was a large man waving very long arms about urging the Tory to get amongst the throng and, presumably, start shaking some hands.
I never saw a more sickly grin on someone's face than that of a very reluctant Mr Rifkind's.....did anyone see that?

"Rich people should be taxed to pay for the printing of money, as they use most of it."
"In reaction to the old adage, “Children are so honest” we intend to reduce the age of standing for parliament from 21 to 5."
You can't deny the logic of these people. Classic stuff!
