Election 2010 Opinions: The Rotted

As the voting day gets closer more musicians wade in to give their commentary on the 2010 Election, today is the turn of Ben McCrow, vocalist for The Rotted.

For more view points click here and here and stay tuned to the site for more viewpoints in the coming days.

Will you be voting in this year's General Election?
"Yes, I will! I usually try to have nothing to do with society in general but I'm going to register my distaste with the shitty way Labour have fucked up this country, and the shitty way the Conservatives will probably make it worse."

What political issues matter to you and why? Which issues do you think will define this campaign?
"Everyone's feeling the pinch obviously as it's not been this shit since the late 70's or early 80's. We all have the right to a reasonable living standard but instead we're being bled dry by a bunch of overpaid, arrogant pricks that fiddle their expense foms. I think most people are concerned about the lack of jobs and how they're going to make ends meet. We need to be pulled out of this situation, now!"

Finally, which party will you be voting for and why?
"Liberal Democrats, the lesser of three evils. They're the only realistic threat to Labour or Conservative and I agree with some of their ideas. I like that they plan to abolish income tax for anyone on less than £10,000 a year while taxing the wealthiest members of society. They also won't be implementing this stupid fucking cider tax, which as a resident of West Somerset and hardened Scrumpy drinker is the fuckin' deal breaker for me!"
