IT has been suggested Gordon Brown may call a General Election next month.

Is it not time for people, especially in the northern parts of England, to stop saying they always vote Labour and start thinking which is the best party for the people, if there is one?

Remember, a vote for Labour is saying that you agree with our servicemen and women being in Iraq and Afghanistan - young people being killed for no reason.

Billions of pounds are being spent on these two wars, which should be spent on our health and education sectors. So before you vote, think what you are voting for.
