UK General Election 2010

...and finally, will you be watching the results show or are you not that bothered?
Originally I send off a postal vote for Plaid Cymru, the damn thing was returned to sender (myself) for some bizarre reason, apparently there was some kind of clerical error to blame. Later on I tried to get time off work to get down to the polling station; my line manager allowed a generous 30 minutes away from the office but by the time I got there the queue was already somewhat off-putting.

All for nought in the end; I know I'll get the book thrown at me for saying this, but my effort was just so half-arsed, I’ve honestly have no passion left for this democracy anymore, especially not after the MP expenses' row. Personally Adrian, I would have voted for a complete reform of the current system, not just a general election.

I suppose the majority people who vote for BNP are actually concerned about the Home Office's general lack of control over our borders, to the point where the word 'British' seems to mean nothing to anyone anymore. Personally I'm not racist and neither are my foreign friends from India and China, we all get on relatively fine in fact we don’t even acknowledge our nationalities half the time, but even they appreciate and recognise that integration of foreigners into society is far more crucial than continued mass-immigration - if immigrates can't, or won't, speak English and/or Welsh, nor will they contribute into our system, then they honestly have no business being here in the first place.

One of my pet hates is foreigners living here for ten years or more and still not being able to speak a word of English/Welsh, it really grates me when councils cater to their every whim by placing multilingualism road signs for them; not to mention the tax-payers have to pay out for interpreting services and costly translators just for their benefit. Angry

If the Conservatives vowed to force everyone seeking British citizenship, asylum or wanting to work here short/long term to speak the native indigenous languages I'd vote for them in a heartbeat, even after the legacy Margaret Thatcher left behind here in Wales.
