I HOPE all the hundreds of disillusioned labour voters - (eg the hard-up students, pensioners etc) will realise that in the next election a vote for Labour, Liberals, etc will be a wasted one.

The only party that "cares for all" is the Michael Howard-led Conservatives, who we are told are losing ground. They are the only realistic party that can overthrow New Labour, a vote elsewhere will be wasted.

The speech from the heart by Michael Howard at the Conservative Conference was superb, and his honesty about his background, and the brutal gassing of his grandmother, was so moving! He looks and speaks like a leader and I hope voters will take note.
