Why not to vote Conservative

Glenatron put this up on his Livejournal and I thought it was so good that I had to spread it to here.

"Do you think that you have a right to life and that it should be against the law for the state to have you killed?


Michael Howard doesn't.



Do you think that the state should be allowed to torture you or subject you to inhumane punishment?


Michael Howard does.


Do you feel that slavery is wrong?


Michael Howard doesn't.


Do you think the police should be allowed to arrest and imprison you indefinitely without trial or explanation?


Michael Howard does.


Do you feel you should be allowed a fair and public hearing if you are accused of a crime?


Michael Howard doesn't.


How do you feel about your private life and that of your family- do you think everyone should be allowed to know every detail of it?


Michael Howard does.


Do freedom of thought, conscience and religion sound like a good thing?


Michael Howard holds them in contempt. They are an anathema to him.


What about freedom of expression, what the Americans are talking about when they start going on about the first amendment?


Michael Howard believes you don't deserve this.


If you had lost all the rights above, you might want to protest, in a peaceful and lawful way.


Michael Howard wouldn't let you. He doesn't believe you should have the right to peaceful assembly.


If you were old enough, and so inclined, should you have a right to marry and have a family?


Michael Howard seeks to deny you any such right. He hates you so much he never wants you to be happy. He is like Superman.


Is it alright to discriminate against someone because of how they look, who they are related to or what they believe?


Michael Howard thinks it is more than alright. He thinks everyone should do it.


If you own something do you think it is alright if anyone can come and take it off you?


Michael Howard does.


Do you think children should be given a chance to go to school?


Michael Howard doesn't.


Do you believe that we as a nation should be allowed free and democratic elections?


Michael Howard believes exactly the contrary."

What Glenatron has done is take the rights we all have under the Human Rights act of 1998. If Michael Howard got into power he would likely rescind this act. Depriving us all of our civil liberties. It would be like asking for 'Thought crime' and 'Doublethink' to come into the world. Heck, Michael Howard probably thinks those things are a good idea.

I walk past 'Unison' everyday and there is a huge poster outside in mockery of the Conservative 'are you thinking what we're thinking?' campaign. It reads

"How will the conservatives improve public services by spending £3 billion less on them?" "What are the conservatives thinking?"

USE YOUR VOTE TO KEEP THEM OUT

Or, if you want to show your support for more left-wing politics, vote for the REAL alternative to Labour.

VOTE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT
