Just a little fun thread i thought up, whats been your voting history since you were old enough to vote?

I'll go first

1997 - Labour
2001 - Labour
2005 - Abstained
2010 - Tory

2015 - Intend to vote UKIP
 
2001 - Labour
2005 - Labour
2010 - Conservative
2015 - will stay Tory

I have a few sympathetic views towards UKIP, but voting for them will put labour in power and anything but that.
 
As long as first past the post remains, I'll never vote at a General Election--it''s nothing more than a Tory/Labour mutual reach-around.

I do vote at the Scottish elections though.
 
After 30 years of voting, I'm more than a little jaded with all of them, so I probably won't bother.
Its not as if they represent the people is it...
 
I'm not telling.


LOL, I have voted middle ground locally, as I detest both our parties in power OhEsEcks, but when I look at the various manifestos now, virtually none of the Norn Iron parties represent my views in any fashion. Any that have some policies that might, have a big bigot stamp policies across the top to begin with, and never seem to get past that to get to actual implementation.

Today's Mood: Malevolent

I think we should have some form of dictatorship technocracy here as a worldwide trial. Soup up our water cannon wagons with petrol based flamethrowers, send them in heavy to any protest for 24 months, by any side, and that would cut the welfare bill by around 75%, leaving those in employment unscathed, and those out of employment pretty much removed.
Suddenly we'd be the most efficient state in the world, and the multinationals would flock in when we reduce business tax :)

First stop for the flamethrowers would be Stormont in full session and all local council meetings. The acrid smell of burning verbal excrement would clear after a while.
 
I became legal in 1996, so 1997 was my first general election:

1997 - Lib Dems
2001 - Lib Dems
2005 - Lib Dems
2010 - Lib Dems
2015 - Lib Dems again, if not, then Tory

I certainly won't vote Labour!
