Have fun today everyone, but please don't vote BNP, I really like it here 
I like the voting reasons of some people 
"I'll vote Lib Dems because I don't like GB or DC..."
Little do they know that most Lib Dem votes will keep GB as PM in a hung parliment. I don't think the Lib Dems will ever get enough for a marjority with these rigged boundaries.
I only see Conservatives to oust Labour. GB screwed the enconmy when he was chancellor, and its time for someone else (they can't be any worse).

I do.
Pretty much. There's a large first and second generation black and Asian community that are pro-Labour. A lot of the local donations to Labour come from a few rich Asian businessmen in the area (the same businessmen who keep getting done for buying houses from the council and cramming them full of hundreds of economic migrants, so very dodgy). I'm not sure if the recent wave of eastern-European people are allowed to vote as they won't be naturalised? The 'indigenous' white community fall into the 'lazy bum' category so don't bother to vote.
I'm actually a second generation immigrant myself (my dad came over in the 70s) but as my dad works in the NHS we're a very anti-Labour household.

I am glad the fools are in the minority

I have voted, I am pleased with my votes (Local & General) and I hope my party get a clear majority.

I love all the conservative supporters labelling people as stupid for supporting the Lib Dems - seems like us Lib Dem voters are all being labelled as fooled by the election debates.
Just for some justification on my pro-lib dem stance:
Tory schools policy sucks (according to my mum, a headteacher).
Lib Dem would repeal Digital economy bill.
Fairer electoral system.
Need to break the labour/tory stranglehold on power.
Dont think Trident is needed in the modern world.
General belief that Lib Dems care about personal freedoms, right to fair trial etc that Labour and Jacqui Smith seem to have forgotten is important.
Really don't like Conservative policies in general.
Think Labour have had their chance and not delivered.
Lib Dem candidate in Cambridge has better local policies than the other main candidates.
You may disagree with me, but I have at least weighed everything up.

Tory schools policy sucks (according to my mum, a headteacher) And praised by hundreds of other head teachers at leading schools. But oh you don't suckle at their teat.
Lib Dem would repeal Digital economy bill. I doubt that, sadly
Fairer electoral system. PR isn't fairer on us as it will lead to hungness.
Need to break the labour/tory stranglehold on power.Which still won't happene voting LibDem
Dont think Trident is needed in the modern world."modern world" is a fickle beast
General belief that Lib Dems care about personal freedoms, right to fair trial etc that Labour and Jacqui Smith seem to have forgotten is important.Agreed, but the Tory's aren't Nazis.
Really don't like Conservative policies in general.No detail = you have a grudge
Think Labour have had their chance and not delivered.Agreed, the Tory's haven't had their chance.
Lib Dem candidate in Cambridge has better local policies than the other main candidates.The only reason I'll accept fully.
You may disagree with me, but I have at least weighed everything up.Only one I accept

She would say that - she would be made more accountable under a Tory government.

hungness isnt "unfair".
Unfair is 2 million people voting Green and getting no representation at all etc.
I dont hold a grudge against the conservatives, im only 22, my only actual grudge is with Labour over top-up fees and the D.E.B. Is it not possible to have read all their policies and just not to like them or to agree with them?

My vote would go to the Lib Dems if it weren't for two things:
- Around these parts it's a wasted vote
- The Libs are for the single EU currency, which IMO is a massive mistake.

Yeah I disagree with them on that issue, setting your own interest rates is pretty crucial. Increasing the money supply and all that...
Soldato
Well you haven't expanded, so it's easy to jump to conclusions. A friend said exactly the same last night, and then all he could tell me was he just didn't agree with their policies/heart. He couldn't expand, which means to me it's a stupid reason/grudge/stupidity. We spoke for hours and the specifics he disagreed with were unsubstantiated.
"Fair" on one group is always "Unfair" on another sadly. PR (at least STV) isn't fairer on democracy/this country. AMS may be better. But, lets not forget the sole reason LibDems/SNP/Plaid etc. want PR is to maximise their power and egos. It is not for us, the electorate.

It is for us actually. It's completely retarded that a party can get 30% of the popular vote but win 40%+ of the parliamentary seats. We absolutely need PR, end of.

Well we both know where each other stand. I did lol at your sig quote though
Soldato
Sorry, you misinterpreted. Swap Tory and LibDem - do you really think LibDem's would then want/push for PR?
I'm tempted to keep it forever.Well we both know where each other stand. I did lol at your sig quote though
