A Small Plea

It is, of course, not my place to be telling you how to vote on Thursday.

Nonetheless, may I beg you to vote - wherever possible - to keep these people out of office:

Those of us who remember the eighties and nineties have little desire to see them back in power. And, should you think that the Conservative Party has become cuddly and progressive, consider:

• A candidate who thinks that gay people are possessed by demons which can only be cast out by a bunch of fundamentalists praying over them,
• A minister-in-waiting who says that Muslim politicians are all devoid of morals or principles,
• Their campaign is still being bankrolled by people who use a convenient legal fiction to avoid paying tax in the UK,
• And - if you really want to know what will almost certainly happen if you let these people take control, see how Cammie-boy's 'Compassionate Conservatism' (you know, the sort practised by George W. Bush) operates in reality, read this piece by Johann Hari in The Independent. That is what it will mean for the poor, the sick and the weak.

Make your choice, but remember that it won't just be you who will face the consequences. We can't afford a society at war with itself again. We've scarcely recovered from the last time it happened.
