Im frustrated that Conservatives and Labour are blaming the result on this 10p tax fiasco... it isn't! Its everything including that! Which they'd get intouch with reality and realise that we are hit in the pocket by:

Income tax
Poll tax
Price of fuel at the pump
Car tax
The war still costing us a fortune (yet they think we forget that)
Crime actually rising, their target is to low the statistic
NHS waiting lists to get on waiting lists rediculous, their target is to lower the statistic
Threat of charging us to use our bins
Intention of congestion charging other places than London

There's more, these are the ones which spring to mind.

actually, Chris, although they may 'influence' your decision, Council elections have nothing to do with most of them... as you are voting in people who manage your area, so crime is the only one there. These are councillors not MP's (and AM's in Wales).

But they do influence your thoughts. I voted Plaid for a councillor but wouldn't dream of voting them in for the Welsh Assembly!
