To who yank neocons and nutyyahoo?
I think as we get closer it's fair enough to add in a do not intend to vote option as suggested.
Ok, will do.
Ok, we can do this weekly for the run up.
In Finland they have bottle/can machines where you feed in your empty bottles and cans (various sizes) and it scans them and tots up how much money you get back. It's been a while since I lived there, so I can't remember the exact amounts, but at the end it printed you out a receipt which acted as a coupon for the value which you could then spend in store (you may have been able to convert it to cash... I can't remember). It definitely led to more recycling - I was in a halls of residence, so full of students who were more than happy to get money back
.
Oddly enough on San Pellegrino bottles you can see what returning them to the store in Finland is worth - I don't have one to hand but I'm pretty sure it's €0.20. I can't remember what you get for other bottles but I quite liked the system, you ended up with lots of students using the empties from a few crates to pay for the next crate of beer...
Tbh I'll be surprised if they get 1 seat I can't imagine the state a constituency would have to be in to get a ukip mp.

Can't understand why anyone would vote conservative...
Unless most people on this board are rich southerners

It's a fair point but I reckon where people are tactically voting it's something people can explain if they choose, I think I'm more interested in in seeing how people are actually planning to vote.
Thanks for the correction.
New thread is here for anyone to join in. I'll leave this one open for the next hour or so for any final comments before it's closed.

BOOM! Headshot.
The interesting thing is I bought it in Sainsbury's but the 10c refund is for Australia on a bottle of Italian water, how ungreen is that...

Not a southerner, not rich, family income and expenditure is just about neutral over past financial year, with no particular extravagances.
As someone who frankly doesn't want to increase the amount of taxes I pay, who would you suggest I vote for?

Can't understand why anyone would vote for anyone else. Despite the location I currently live in I'm Yorkshire and not rich.
Does anyone have a take on the whole debt/deficit situation?
Cameron's saying we've got it under control but we need to carry on cutting. Milliband's saying we could spend/tax a bit more and still be fine. Clegg saying we should be somewhere in the 'middle'. Then according to Farage we haven't even made an impact on the deficit and are still overspending. Then there's the SNP/Greens claiming we don't need to worry about it and that we should stop austerity and carry on as before.
Can anyone find any evidence to backup their statements as they all seem to be contradicting each other!

The economy is doing better and we have a lot more jobs because tax has been reduced. It is about keeping the UK competitive and leaving more in workers pockets. Spending is not completely under control, it is going in the right direction though and eventually will run a surplus. A surplus is achievable through efficient expenditure but not through raising taxes.Does anyone have a take on the whole debt/deficit situation?

A point well made, Ed Miliband doesn't look like PM material but while DC may look the part he isn't in practice.
Not only do other world leaders think he's a bit dim or out right hate him he also has no real control over his own party, the Right Wing elements of the Tory party are the ones really incharge of it and him.
