Most peole haven't voted, perhaps not surprising as there's little to choose between the three charities, all of them for young people.

Why should RM get all the glory, awards for our hard earned money when they treat us like sh*t.

I support charities through my own bank account :nana

Personally, I would not vote for any of them. Most charities are Government cop-outs. What could these organisations do with just a bit of what the Tory-abour govt has given - sorry loaned, Northern Rock? I'm not that hard hearted though, I'd like to see a fund set up for the families of posties who have lost their lives in service, and are facing hardship because of that.

Most charities are Government cop-outs. They are exactly that postyparker. We pay the Government taxes so that these things are taken care of, but they spend it on wars and banks. Without wanting to turn this into a debate about giving to charity, ask yourself why your local children's hospital relies on charities for things that really should come as standard? We are not a poor Country and it's people should not have to rely on handouts when the money is spent on all the wrong things.
No, I'm not on glue either, just sick fed up with a good for nothing Labour government who has lost all sense of it's principles and it's roots.

Yes a lot of things should come in a country like ours but that doesn't mean the charities are 'goverment cop-outs' set up by the goverment.

These charities should be praised for setting up doing something that the goverment can't do or isn't prepared to do. Saying I wouldn't vote for any of them is like putting the balme on the charities for the goverments failings.

The goverment could provide a lot more but we should be proud as a country we have people who want to make a difference. End of

It's all a ploy to try to make us think we can actually decide something. Something that doesn't matter though. But they don't let us decide whether we had later start times from last autumn, or decide many other important things that are imposed on us. I'm neither voting for a charity nor giving money to any of these three.
