Informing the debate
Anastasia De Waal, 1 April 2010
In a Times commissioned poll last month, 47% of respondents indicated that they still weren’t sure who they were going to vote for; 75% of respondents felt that it was ‘time for a change’ from Labour.We hope to foster informed voting whereby, with a little more clarity, decisions are positive choices for candidates and policies. As such, we’ve produced seven overviews – on education, family, the EU, immigration, health, crime and employment. These set out today’s vital statistics and compare the main parties’ performance and proposals; they can be found on the home page of each research area.

When people vote, their vote should also matter. This next election is going to be decided in only a handful of constituencies. That means how the vast majority of people vote (not to mention every single person in Northern Ireland) is completely irrelevant.
For people to vote , they must have something to vote for.The electorate probably dont want another Labour government, the Libs aint going to get in , and the Consrevatives are to timid to shout boo to a goose. If cammeron offers something like the radical changes that we all know need implementing he will obtain office. But being scared of the labour spin machine will keep him out of No 10.
Be bold on the economy, immigration, the eu, the yuman rights fiasco, the welfare state; do it and win,wimp out and lose.
