A much meaner tribe

Article Abstract:

Many Britons feel that all politicians, whatever party they belong to, are basically the same. For this reason, there seems to be little point in voting at elections. This is a misguided view, as closer investigation reveals that there are in fact key differences between the Labour and the Conservative parties. The Conservative party is supported by self-interested people who wish to maintain their class status and fail to accept that the Conservative party has been responsible for many of the problems which the UK has faced since the early 1980s.

Women like Us don't vote Labour

Article Abstract:

The Conservative party is currently performing very badly in opinion polls, but has actually been very successful in gaining support from female voters. The Labour party has recognised the importance of the female vote, and is aware that it must try to gain more support from women if it is to win the next general election. Conservative women seem to attract more women to join their ranks because the appear respectable and self-assured.

Do women deserve the vote?

Article Abstract:

The UK Conservative party derives a large part of its support from female voters. The Labour party is aware of this, and is therefore attempting to target women. However, women generally have very little interest in politics, and tend to object to the traditional image of the Labour party. They are usually risk-averse, and are therefore unwilling to take steps which would bring about a change of government.
