Is Harriet going to have a prominent position in your cabinet hobo?
I'm sure we can find room in the cabinet office to mount her head in a prominent position, at least it will spare some poor animal :mrgreen:

Thankyou for your support :wink:

On reflection we are missing one or two party's here!

Where is the SNP and BNP options? both of whom may play prominent roles in the election for whatever reasons.

Creationism is a scientific issue. It makes a claim about how life arrived on earth. Insofar as it can be tested, it has been shown to run contrary to all available evidence. End of discussion.
Religion, per se, makes no testable claims. As such, it is a completely different issue altogether.
Gee, I'm itching...but no, I'll resist. On with the voting. :mrgreen:

Seeing as this is a board where the majority of folk are English why would we have an SNP option?

Few of us will be able to vote SNP and I can't imagine why any of us would want to if we could.

Now were we a Rangers or Celtic message board etc I'd see where you are coming from here!

We do have Plaid Cymru as an option... And I'm pretty clear that the SNP are among the most attractive parties, and, if the Tories win I'd like Bolton to join Scotland... :D

True, I'd missed that. And thats a bit non-sensical as well.

Unless you live in a Welsh or Scottish seat you can't vote for them, and there is absolutely no reason why you would!

So in a UK election if you happen to be a BWFC fan living in Wales or Scotland you are not allowed a regional option?

Ever the little democrat ain't we BWFCI :mrgreen:

Ulster unionist and SDP too?

Well of course, but it "skews" any poll on here doesn't it?

I doubt many folk who originate from Bolton will vote SNP given the choice but you never know I suppose!

trying to educate myself what the different wings and parties are into, but all i read is words decribing them with 'ists' on the end then have you read up the paritucular 'ists' ending word, which i find is usually a combination of more 'ists' etc etc - doing my head in!
