C90

I've started a sister blog to this one, called C90. Its a trawl through 3 boxes of old music cassettes on their way to the dump. I'll be posting the odd track from these cassettes as I decide which albums need purchasing on cd and which ones I can happily forget about.

General Election 05

Apparantly the web is playing an increasing, if quiet and not so visible, part in the election this year. A couple of interesting sites include

Tactical Voter which encourages voters to swap votes where possible to avoid the Conservatives winning seats.

Help Beat Howard is trying to convince Labour voters in Folkestone to vote Lib Dem instead, to unseat Michael Howard. Now that I would like to see happen!

General Election 05

This is interesting. A test to help determine who you should vote for. I had a sneaking suspicion that I'd like to vote Lib Dem, but of course I haven't read the manifestos.

Who should I vote for?

Your expected outcome:

Your actual outcome:

Labour -34
Conservative -53
	Liberal Democrat 74
UK Independence Party -16
	Green 31

The LibDems take a strong stand against tax cuts and a strong one in favour of public services: they would make long-term residential care for the elderly free across the UK, and scrap university tuition fees. They are in favour of a ban on smoking in public places, but would relax laws on cannabis. They propose to change vehicle taxation to be based on usage rather than ownership.
