There's been some discussion today about which of them is posher. Apparently voters think Miliband is 'aloof'. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/ed-miliband/11489438/Ed-Miliband-is-more-of-a-toff-than-David-Cameron-Labour-MP-says.html. Do you vote for personality? Or policies? Does it matter if you wouldn't want to meet the party leader socially?

May just be very green if he believes every politician who tells him they had to vote against what they secretly believed was right , where is the decency in that

Nonnie I heard that on Radio 4 on (I think) Monday late afternoon/early evening.

It makes you wonder what "they" will come out with next! Fewer white Christmases, more dog fouling, the list could be endless.

I blame this government for my lawn growing, it needs cutting and it's only March!

Quite right roses , a lawn wouldn't dare to be so ostentatiously abundant under a Labour government!

Must tell DH that, he has mown ours twice already this year. I'm sure that will influence his vote grin

Ah but I suppose lawn cutting is what "hard working people/families" have a right to do!
