Always a risky thing raising political views on forums, but I know we're all reasonable and level headed people.

Anyway, I'm getting increasingly disillusioned with political parties. I struggle to find a party I can vote for, and which I feel is working for the people. I'm really open to suggestions here.

I do think that capitalism is on the whole, not a great thing, and it's so intertwined with our political system. Do you think that most governments are focussed on big business, rather than serving the people? I don't think much will change, while our society is obsessed with economic growth, and accumulation of wealth. Having masses of money is not important to me. As long as I can pay the bills and feed the family, with an ability to save a bit and enjoy life, I'm happy.

I do worry about the future of public services such as the NHS, which is a priceless resource and deserves more funding. I don't like the way all our former services have been privatised, and now pursue profits at the expense of good quality service. Just look at what the water industry is doing. Rail travel is now ridiculously expensive, haven't taken a train journey for years.

Anyway, interested in thoughts on options for placing my vote, come the next election. And of course, it's a valid choice to not vote.
