Its to do with the lack of manufacturing and being the financial capitol of the world. Blame the bankers for us still being in a recession.

It's to do with GB selling the country down the drain for the last 10 years to make a quick buck and to set us up for a much bigger fall.
 
Labour who have proven that they cant cope or Tory who have proven that bandwagon jumping is more important then a policy which would work.

Dont trust any of them.
 
Conservative, although only because it is the least worse choice. It won't make much different locally anyway, the proles round here would vote for a lettuce if you stuck a red rosette on it...
 
UKIP all the way for me, simply because I want out of Europe and every time I hear a UKIP representative they talk sense and not 'political jargon'. They say what they are going to do and they are clear and precise. Whereas most politicians manage to avoid just about every question you ask them. (Just a shame Nigel Farage has left).

By all means stay within the European trading market but I don't want my country's laws decided in Brussels by people who have nothing to do with my country, my culture or my beliefs.

SNP

**Disclaimer**

Also, if the SNP are not added to the Poll options I demand that Scottish members be barred from viewing this thread.

:p

The SNP certainly have more right to be on the poll than the BNP et al, given that they actually have some MPs...

You're active considering both UKIP and the Lib Dems - occupying almost polar opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to some policy area (europe most obviously)??

I failed to put across in that post that, as yet, I've done very little research into the in-depth policies/claims of each party.

With regards to Europe I favour the UKIP view than the Lib Dem view, but then Europe isn't at the top of my list of priorities frankly so it won't be a deciding factor.

Closer to the election I will read the policies of each of the three parties I would consider (Tory, Lib Dem and UKIP) before making the final choice, but chances are it will be a Tory vote.

Maybe because the conservatives have yet to produce an economic policy which makes any sense and their line during the financial crisis was consistently at odds with what virtually every respected economist was suggesting. Thankfully I don't have to make the decision myself as the Lib Dems will likely win in my constituency but I don't think I could vote conservative based on the lack of detail and, in some cases, sanity in their policies.

Well put tbh.
 
I'm wondering if any party actually makes sense, I generally vote for whoever has policies that generally point in the same direction as to what grinds my gears.

How does it take two to tango? Government is in control of economy their is little we can do about it.

The government didn't run up unprecedented levels of consumer debt, nor take out mortgages that weren't really affordable.

That said, it's not a brilliant excuse as people en masse are fairly stupid - whether you expect the government to account for or try and prevent their idiocy is a matter of ideology.

There were a lot of warning signs and people shouting about impending problems years before it happened.

Had they acted, clamped down on irresponsible lending it may not have bit so hard.

None of our problems in the UK have been a result of excessive UK lending and subsequent defaulting...

Its not helped has it? When recession bites.

And when you look to the US (the trigger), you could easily argue it is because of escessive lending and defaulting.

I thought this was generally the accepted cause?

We haven't had anything approaching the default levels of the USA, where the problem originated. The collapse of the global mortgage backed securities market started in the USA and hit everywhere.

Our indebtedness is a problem, but is it not the cause of the current problems...
