Subject: RE: BS: MARGINALS: We're winning (UK)
I too have never been a 'don't know' before... and if it was just about home...economy, health, education etc, I don't think I would have a problem today.... but the party I have supported all my life has taken me to war with a country and people with whom I have no argument...why? to support the biggest bully in the playground? with or without the lies I cannot condone that or support them to do it again...to Iran? Korea?

God forbid that the Tories should ever be in power again... but I am sure the balance of power will change tonight, maybe we will be in a situation where the three major parties need to negotiate with each other... would that be such a bad thing?

I think the situation might have been different if Tony had resigned... but he is insisting not only that the Labour party is the right one for the future but that he is the right leader. He is therefore asking for my support to make a similar decision again... if HE feels it is 'the right thing to do'... regardless of the UN.

After a lifetime as a Labour Party supporter my concience will not allow me to continue that support today.
