Not much to chose from in my constituency: Foggy, Compo and Clegg, UKIP and smarmmeister Salmond's bunch.

Would've chucked my vote at the Greens, if only to give the two fingers to the aforementioned shysters.

Abstained.
 
What is annoying me, especially on facebook and amongst some of my student friends is that it's apparently 'cool' to vote lib dem and the worst thing on the planet to vote conservative. Have they forgotten about the BNP?

Never mind.

It seems the tories are worse than the BNP talking to a few of my friends :confused: Let's just pray that the majority of them talk a good Lib Dem vote but couldn't be arsed to go out.

Here's to the outside possibility of a Conservative majority :)

My son is a student and's voting for the first time.
Him and the majority of his scruffy friends are voting LibDem by all accounts (if they sober up in time) and think Cameron is the reincartion of Thatcher and therefore the anti-christ.
How they are qualified to comment on what it was like last time the Tories were in power is beyond me, I suppose it means they actually listen to their tutors about some matters though, right on.
 
Seems there is a large number of people who want to riot if the Tories get into power... WTF? Have people forgotten how democracy works?! Throwing your toys out of the pram because you don't get your own way f t w :rolleyes:.

A Conservative government would NOT be as bad as these people make out. Seems they have them mixed up with some pony organisation like the BNP
 
Even if you are a lib dem supporter the best thing to do is vote Conservative. Why? Because it reduces the chance of Labour getting back in and increases the chance of a Conservative/Lib Dem coalition, which is the best case scenario for the Lib Dems because lets face it, they wont get a majority will they?

There must have been a lot of confused kids when they didn't see Nick Clegg's name on their ballot paper.

The trouble is if everyone did that at every election they would never make steps forward or show people they have a chance that isn't a wasted vote.
 
I read in the Telegraph today that the Tories might form a coalition with DUP if they only need a few more seats, as they should get about 10 ish.

Surely that depends on your seat? I'm in a 3 way marginal, for example. I don't expect the Lib Dems to get a majority at all, I can foresee them getting 28%ish and ending up with about 7 seats, but to say that Lib Dem supporters should vote Tory as a blanket statement is just...wrong.
 
Voted Conservative, would have liked to have voted LibDem, but unfortunately I cannot agree with their anti-nuclear policies. They are just stupidity in my view and show that they can't add up numbers. And for that reason, anyone who can't add, doesn't deserve to be in 10 Downing Street.
