Poll: Which party will get your vote in the General Election?

[Hatter The Mad]

Green... If not Tory

No to nuclear power? How will we support our escalating power demands?

 

[aardvark]

I don't understand how we have hundreds voting conservative.

I honestly believe the reason must be because they can't remember last time the conservatives were in power.

Hint -- They were a LOT worse than current labour -- believe it or not!

nonsense - how old are you? i'm 37 and the conservatives were far better than the labour of my childhood.

 

[dirtydog]

18 years ago?

**** me if you are still holding that grudge 'old man' then you got problems.

I do believe the main members of the Tory party have changed since then.

Who was Norman Lamont's Special Adviser during Black Wednesday, looks familiar...

Easy Bulldoze all major Cities with the people still in them & plant trees in their place that should cut our power demands plus it'll do some good for our carbon footprint!

But your serious answer is...?

That is a serious answer and a damn good idea at that!

p.s I don't like severly built up areas or the majority of people who live in them!

Just remove the hood...

Emporer Norman.

 

[Gilly]

No-one, as there is no-one worth my vote.

 

[ennogs]

I can only think all you who say you are going to vote conservative are too young to remember what it was like under thatcher and major.

So what, just a job, his career before becoming an MP:

1988-92: Conservative research department
1992-94: Special advisor, Treasury and Home Office
1994-2001: Head of corporate affairs, Carlton Communications

Why don't you ask him about it.

 

[dirtydog]

There are also MPs in the Tory party now who were in the last Tory government, such as Kenneth Clarke who is in the Tory shadow cabinet... so the idea that this is an all new Tory party is false.

 

[The Dread Pirate]

TBH whoever gets voted in will be rubbish anyhoo!

 

[dirtydog]

It's still stupid to rake up the past and be like, "OMG THE CONSERVATIVES ARE THATCHER. BURN THEM".

Edit :: In before strawmen.

No, it's stupid to say "I do believe the main members of the Tory party have changed since then." when they haven't... and 'call me Dave' is associated with the humiliating and costly devaluation of sterling and 12% interest rates.

 

[izzy eckerslike]

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM let me think 90% of people will all say conservative,

Based on a forum poll frequented mostly by under 25's they will


the same poll on a forum frequented by much older people will show the opposite

 

[Deiwos]

With what I've seen/heard from the Conservatives about Education, I won't be voting for them. Probably Lib Dems and hope for hung parliament, as I don't want Labour or Tories in power really.

Nonsense - I'm 36, and the conservatives were far worse than the labour of my childhood.

Radio presenter on radio 4, 2 days ago

'This has been the worse winter England has experienced in 31 years, therefore many councils have run out of grit'

David Cameron had this to say

'This is indicitive of a FAILED government, with FAILED policies, who the British people are sick to the back teeth of. Gordon Brown should step down over his total mishandling of this crises - he's to blame for 96 year old 'Enid' falling in the snow and freezing to death, the buck stops with him. He's the one person in the country who can't claim 'he was just following orders'. '.

I mean -- people are honestly going to vote for that kind of sillyness? It's just embarrassing, isn't it? Especially since they'd be the FIRST party to cut this public service. Are the public really dumb enough to believe the hype?

Not at all, it's very much a class and parent thing. Lots of older people rember thatcher days and still like her.
she had a difficult period and like all parties they will make mistakes. but she also broke the unions and got the countries debt under controlled , by selling north sea oil, which helped are economy for decades.

 

[izzy eckerslike]

post 387 +1

People blaming the current government for the lack of salt & grit, lol
Isn't it up to County councils inc many Tory councils to order in their winter road grit?

Yep but the post is pointless. You can have a 1000 stupid quotes for all parties. It's hardly a reason not to vote for them.

Yeah, shame there's no oil left when the UK needs it most, she also privatised transport, gas, water & Electric utilities so we now pay the highest in the EU or possibly the world, sold off all the council houses for a song so now there's virtually non available, scrapped the steel & coal industries etc.
Yeah, she's still very popular with a few diehards

we're still heavily paying the cost of the last Tory government whichever way you look at it
