Poll: Who will you vote for next General Election

[magick]

Labour = spending all the reserve funds on complete and utter crap, increases taxes as a result.

Don't forget selling the nations gold reserves off at rock bottom prices when the gold market was at it's lowest. I bet whoever bought it was laughing all the way to the bank (literaly) on that one.

Rothschild and his little circle of firends probably bought it all up through one of his many front companys and has stashed it all in switzerland or one of his private islands.

 

[alexakasloth]

Green party.

This.

 

[Moonpie]

Still .... i really hope that the Torries don't get in, it will end disasterously if they do, they will never be able to prevent major corruption.

What? In the way that Labour have prevented major corruption? I can't believe that it's even crept into the House of Lords where they haven't had to suspend a Lord for about 400 years - but have had to suspend the 2 Labour Lords have been changing the law for money. Have they no honour? It's unbelievable and just really sad. I believe our country has really gone down the pan in the last 10 years.

 

[Goldy]

If I even bother to vote this time, it'll be conservative.

How anyone can stand behind Zanu Labour is incomprehensible. But the world is a funny place I guess.

 

[CliffyBiro]

I won't be voting, I'm not on the regsiter, but I were, my vote would be with Labour.

I hate change.

 

[knip]

ignore me!

 

[I get around]

Nice to see more people voting for green party in here to be honest.

 

[wannabedamned]

Conservatives here.

My neighbour has a BNP poster in his window, Eugh....

 

[mmj_uk]

Conservative. How anyone can STILL vote Labour is beyond me.

Politics is like supporting a football team for some people, they will vote Labour simply because they have always done so in the past.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at some of the responses in this thread.

First of all, anybody who actually goes out and votes for the BNP should be lined up and kicked out of the country before any immigrants are. Have a taste of your own medicine why don't you. I knew this was a predominately right leaning forum, but wow, just wow.

Secondly, I don't know whether anybody actually remembers what the tories were like prior to 1997, but I do. I distinctly remember my school physically falling to bits with shortages of teachers, a decrepid hospital that hadn't been touched since the 60's, and plenty of 'first world' poverty to boot (Nb. if you don't like council estates and chavs, don't vote tory!). Voting tory is a vote for the elite, always has been, always will be. For those that think I need to "fast foward 100 years", they should check this weeks news for tory MP's claiming thousands for chandeliers and sprung leaks under tennis courts. What a surpise, eh?

That's partly why I wouldn't vote for them in a million years, but then I wouldn't vote for Labour either...

Now I am a true advocate of education and health first policies, but Labour have somehow managed to balls this all up and leave the bill for the taxpayer. They didn't deliver upon their initial promises (although in the first several years there was a marked improvement over the tories), and the education and health system is still in desperate need of rejuvination. Taxes are ridiculously high, and a pointless, ludicrously expensive campaign in Iraq only rubbed salt into the wounds. There are a slew of other problems I won't even go into, like immigration, in-house fighting, corruption and scandal, etc.
The final straw for me recently has been the incessant introduction of police state esque policies which impeach upon human rights such as the law against photographing the police, the extreme porn law, identity cards, and talk of monitoring all internet traffic. Jacqui Smith has become some sort of spokeswoman for an increasingly left-wing Home Office.

No thanks.

For me it'll either be Lib Dems as a half serious/half protest vote, somebody completely far removed like Green, or else I won't vote at all.

Some democracy this two-horse race is.

 

[Streeteh]

Good post imo Tweek, though i have to say i'd rather vote to in an effort to keep the Tories out rather than effectively waste it on a vote for the Lib Dems.

 

[Spuderoony]

If everyone who considered, but dismissed, voting for Lib Dem as a 'wasted vote' actually bothered to, they'd fly right up the polls and become a serious contender for a third way. People frustrate me sometimes.

Well, actually, party politics as a whole frustrates me. We should vote for individuals based on their entire political outlook and parliament should be a true democracy of them all voting. Parties removed entirely. Parties and their protectionist, ulterior motives corrupt the whole system.

 

[naefeart]

... i know that my father raves about Thatcher as if she was the best thing to ever happen to this country. He also seems to see labour as the spawn of the devil and bangs on about the mess they caused pre Thatcher...

Good lord, at least i'm not alone

Thatcher broke the Unions - the Unions that had the country by the scruff of the neck. Is it a coincidence how active they've become again under the present administration? I think not.

I'm voting Conservative. And you know what? In the end I couldn't give a monkeys about what Thatcher did or didn't do - I'm not voting for her and I'm pretty sure she has no influence on Conservative party policy and hasn't done for many years.

People need to get a grip and move on from her.

Me too, but probably for different reasons...

Amazing how many Labour and Lib Dem voters such a right leaning forum has compared to a handful of BNP supporters.

Secondly, I don't know whether anybody actually remembers what the tories were like prior to 1997, but I do.

Old ground I know but do you remeber the country before the tories got in? How it was under Labour?

 

[RDM]

I dismissed Lib Dem because I can't trust them (their behaviour on the EU constitution vote was deplorable), they are too hung up on costly environmental policies and they are even more socialist economically than Labour.

 

[Pinkeyes]

No thanks.

Nice post Tweek.
As I see it, by doing this you are helping that Tory rule you remember so well get back in. Labour are struggling, and have made mistakes. but times ARE better than those dark years of tory rule.

This is not going to be anything but a two horse race, and those who remember the last conservative government surely cannot let that happen again ?

 

[Spuderoony]

You mean environmental policies which actually contain a social conscience as opposed to the arrogant disregard for what is not actually ours that a good chunk of the world displays?

Gotcha.

 

[RDM]

Gotcha.

So we go and introduce all these delightful environmental policies unilaterally. As well as rolling power cuts we cripple our enconomy even further and the environment is still fubar because China, India, the US and the rest of Europe haven't really done anything. I am struggling to see how that is at all a positive result?

 

[Dolph]

You mean environmental policies which actually contain a social conscience as opposed to the arrogant disregard for what is not actually ours that a good chunk of the world displays?

Gotcha.

No, we mean the enviromental policies that will be disasterous for the people of the UK while doing exactly bugger all to actually help the enviroment...

 

[Tweek_1984]

Old ground I know but do you remeber the country before the tories got in? How it was under Labour?

No, I wasn't around, but it's something I do acknowledge. Although as you can see, I'm not Labour's biggest fan. They are however, doing a better job than the tories were doing during the 90's, and I'd never want to go back to those days.

I won't be voting for either party.
