For my local area- Southampton, Itchen. The MP for this area is Rt Hon John Denham, and the area is run by the labour party. The name of the local council is 'Southampton City Council'. The party that dominates the local council is the conservative party.
I do not plan to vote in this coming election year as i do trust the local MPs anymore mainly due to the recent expenses scandals in which MPs have been abusing there power for personal financial gain using tax payers money. Also i do not like the thought of either Gorden Brown or David Cameron running the country. I think the people that do not vote this year will be because of these two reasons. This is because they have been hurt by the politicians. This is why my attitute for people not voting in this coming election is not a negative one as i can see the reasons. As stated above i will not be voting altough i would not want the conservative party if they are going to hike up student fees,this is because it would personally effect me badly via increased debt.
