    Tories not much better but at least Cameron will be forced to listen to the moral Right who will vote him in.

    £80m is f**k all in the grand scheme of things. The Euro Lottery Jackpot on Friday is an estimated £67m

    Well I believe the Parties have to come up with their own funding, either through Membership subscriptions or Trade Union Fees. So it will be up to them to woo voters in whatever way they see fit. I doubt that threatening to take people's choice away is much of a vote winner.

    I'm going for the former and the wife the latter, is there any good reason why we should bother at all seeing as we are cancelling each other out?
    I know the answer to that one.

    What you do is both promise to not vote, so you cancel each other out.

    Then you sneak off and vote anyway

    That's very smart thinking for a Tory voter. Well done. As you say, there's really no point in you voting at all.

    Oh, and can you just pass the following note on to your wife - no need to waste time reading it yourself, it's about cooking and ironing and ladies' things like that...

    Mrs gingerjedi... Vote! Vote for your life!

    I don't think that you are prejudiced in any way.

    But you could avoid using the word fairy to describe people.

    I wouldn't have formed that opinion of him from everything I saw before I left but I will go and investigate.

    The DVDs of old QI shows that are posted to me are the only entertainment I get now in this cultural desert.
