Friend sent it out though frustrated that no one knew the source. Aha!<BR/><BR/>You are too kind to those who cop out about voting. The league of "Know-Nothings" is disturbing large in America. How can people live and not participate in our most basic freedoms?

It wouldn't really be the good thing to do since officially whoever wins the election still needs to ask the Queen for permission to form a government. It's a fairly open secret though that the Queen did not like Margaret Thatcher one bit.<BR/><BR/>If i had to guess then i'd say as landed gentry they're more likely to vote Conservative than the other parties - but maybe the younger generations (William & Harry etc) may be more independant...<BR/><BR/>This reminds me - i think my next post will be related to the Queen...Don't Feed The Pixieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380146661526476947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-79051423765913400982008-09-23T01:28:00.000-07:002008-09-23T01:28:00.000-07:00DFTP,So funny, that Clegg story!

Question: do the royals let their political preferences be known? <BR/><BR/>WW,<BR/>Youch! (yes and ouch) Hope Cody enjoys it.<BR/><BR/>RL1963,<BR/>I hear ya. I guess I'm more a political animal, though, and become involved in spite of the negativity. <BR/><BR/>Lisa,<BR/>Great! This one got Mike's attention, a good indicator because he gets kinda overloaded with stuff I ask him to read about the election. ;)Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-25762246389863148482008-09-22T15:52:00.000-07:002008-09-22T15:52:00.000-07:00Amazing--Thanks, Lydia for this.

Pointless, but true.<BR/><BR/>On the subject of politics though a Party Election broadcast came on the other day and the smart looking bloke said : Hello, i'm Nick Clegg - leader of the Liberal Democrat Party.<BR/><BR/>It took me by surprise - the man's PR has been so unsuccessful that i didn't have a clue who he was...yet i'd voted for his bunch at the last local election!
