Please, find out a bit about your local MP and what he's done. Some of them are actually really decent, I know of a labour MP who's maybe the most conscientious member I know off and he's been endorsed by UKIP for his anti EU view. Not everybody tows the party line, there are some decent candidates that are worth your vote beyond party allegiances...

Indeed I shall sir.

I'm still pretty undecided right now, I really did like Brown, but the debates have put me off somewhat, simply from his own statements. :o

This is why I think that is the biggest down fall of our system. Local and national voting should not be linked.

And why would the EU agree to it.
Lovely idea, but that boat has sailed.

I do entertain wistful ideas of a presidential system in my more thoughtful moment, I can't see it happening but I do like the idea in the modern age...

I don't really like that either.
should ust get to slips at the poll station one for local MP and one for parliament. Parties decide which local Mp's make up parliament or something. Crude idea in need of much refining.

Actually, and I'm trying to say this without bias, the BBC chose particularly pro-LibDem clips in the summary. Granted they were trying to get the "best of" bits, but it was unrepresentative.

That's a matter of opinion.

But either way the BBC aren't announcing poll results every 2 seconds like Sky.
 
Out of interest, does anyone know the average earnings for an adult working in the UK?
According to national office of statistics, its £25428 per year, averaged between males and females, with males earning on average more.
So basically the average family will earn slightly over 50K.
So under cammy, they would miss the extra 1% jobstax as he calls it. He would however, remove any child benefit they receive, as they are above his 50k household income.
Gordy will tax them 1% extra and talk to them about benefits and all these wonderful credits they can claim if they do the complex forms, or pay an accountant to do it for them.
Cleggy will up the taxfree limit to 10K, meaning 20K between them. He'll likely leave the 1% Ni up, so they'll be a bit better off.

The best combo would be for all undecided to vote libdem, meaning hung parliment, cammy and cleggy get togtehr, we miss the 1% and we get the 10k limit, followed by massive cuts all over the show.

Vat might just 2.5 or 5% but we have to remember that all the spongers spend their free money on 'stuff' and that means we get 5% extra of it back, meaning, its like cutting sponger benefit 5% without telling them.
 
From those polls (and I don't entirely believe them, bearing in mind debate winner doesn't equal voting intention) - labour have a serious problem.
 
Are Lib Dems and Conservatives likely to form an alliance? As I'm swaying between the two, and things concerning Teachers are high on my list as I'm looking at entering the profession. Both parties have aspects I agree and disagree on.

Yes and they joined many years ago. this is not then.

Why would EU allow us to leave, take our money and everything we give and yet still give us all the benefits, EU would gain nothing from it. it is wishful thinking and I would bet EU would not allow it.
 
I don't know, it might have just been me.

It's looked like Brown the old vet. Cameron and Clegg the young pretenders.

I really don't think Cameron / Conservatives will do anything postitive. Lib Dems, meh.

Labour seems to be the lesser evil.

For me anyway. Still no clue who I'll vote for.

I'd say no, the lib dems couldn't/wouldn't trust them, they'd just stall and call another election in less than a year, blame the lib dems for causing stalemate and watch the electorate punish them. They'd be mad to.

Now that's a coalition, a agreement to support them on certain policies is more likely.
