I voted by postal, and didn't even know. Turned up to the polling station and looked like a right tit. Damn my heads not working.

If you're voting Tory, go go go!

If not, put the kettle on and watch tv.
 
You have to laugh at the bias to different parties on different forums.

Question is, does the forum affect how they vote or does the forum attract that kind of voter.

This is my first time voting, but a lot of the polls confuse me, from facebook, libdems are sure to win, then look at the BBC and they have multiple polls indicating conservatives are ahead in all polls. Which is the most accurate poll to guage what the most likely outcome will be?

The poll on this page is, basically, meaningless because OCUK does not form a representative sample. Real opinion polls, such as those listed here are the only one's worth looking at.

Note however that all polling companies make certain assumptions when working out their predictions (such as discounting those less likely to vote, or correcting the sample based on recalled vote at the last election) which may not hold up for an election as odd as this one. But even then they're much more likely to be correct than polls on forums such as this one.

OcUK - Democracy - Unless you're not voting Conservative.

I was told a few pages back that behaviour like this is fine.

Given the Mirror's anti-Tory alliance suggestions, and the google docs spreadsheet telling you whom to vote for to prevent a Tory win.

Probably a combination of the two. The fact that this forum leans towards the Tories and Liberals isn't really surprising given the demographic, but there are also some very good discussions about parties/policies etc that may have changed the minds of some.
 
The past 13 years have been so bad, the Conservatives are going to win by a huge landslide.

Oh wait...it hasn't. They're not and I didn't. Voted Labour instead.
 
I just overheard an interesting conversation: "Only net contributors to the state should have a vote".

You been living under a rock?
 
Can we have a look at who has voted in this poll. Can we then match it to the people who consistently run conspiracy threads about how the government tracks how you vote. I would be interested to see if they willing put such information out into the public domain. ;)

Actually, no.

Herefordshire was a Tory heartland for like 80 years until 1997, but it's been Lib dem since. Labour has NO chance here, not even when Tony Blair won in 1997 so they won't have a chance now. So it's either Lib Dem or Conservative, and rather than looking at the Party leader, you look at the local MP.

We have a woman who is born, raise and LIVE in Hereford for the Lib Dem, vs a Guy who is from London, and doesn't live here. I've met the Tory guy, he is from the same mold as Cameron except he seems quite arrogant the way he comes across.

I am learning towards the Lib Dem....will make up my mind on the way there after food and coffee.

Hardly surprising I guess seeing as how this Government hammers motorists for every penny they can.

It is surprising since PH has people from every walk of life, from bankers to those you may have been hit hard by the current mess and so on.
 
UKIP, was voting Lib Dem because people keep telling me vote anything but Labour, but I read into some policies for myself and found I didn't really like them.
 
I was going to vote UKIP, but the local candidate looks like some sort of Gypsy woman ... so I went for the youngish Tory we have standing here, not that he has a chance. He needs a swing of 10-15% I think from LD or Lab

Essentially though they're all motorists, probably the group who've been hit the hardest without a hope in hell of their voice being heard.
