general election

[looney]

I'll be voting Lib Dem to try to oust the tory crook in my constituency.


Voting Libdem twice is to much to contemplate so voted ukip on the poll.

 

[BensGrandad]

Should voting be compulsory even in a place like Haywards Heath as my 1 vote will not make any difference as Tory will win without it.

 

[Gwylan]

Where's the undecided option? And where's the 'other; option? We have a large number of NSCers in Scotland and you haven't even included the leading party north of the border.

I certainly haven't made my mind up (apart from knowing that it won't be Labour, Conservative or UKIP/BNP). I'm weighing up between Green and LibDem right now but I want to see a full list of candidates first.

 

[The Large One]

Let's put a sub-question...

Are you voting for a party because you support them, or because you want to stop another party getting in, or a minority party as a kind of protest vote? In other words, WHY are you voting for the party you intend to vote for?

 

[Monsieur Le Plonk]

Can't believe how many on NSC are voting Labour. Not a very even reflection on national opinion are we!!

 

[little al]

Very dis-heartening to see Labour winning in the poll.

I wonder if Brown will take as much notice of this poll as he did of The Sun's opinion when they switched allegiance?

After all its the people that decide!

 

[strings]

I am as yet undecided. Although, to be honest, I am not particularly struck by any of the parties at the moment.

I may consider destroying my ballot paper - at least by destroying that ballot paper the candidates will see my opinions.

I just don't know, we'll see...

Cameron still has a lot to prove, but I suspect that for most people it's a case of time for a change. Every Labour Government in history has run out of money and this one will be no different. One thing you can say for the Tories is that they left the economy in 97 in far better shape than they will inherit it in 2010. Also listening to Harriet Harperson's rant yesterday gives us a chilling insight into what could happen if the looney left take over Labour after the election.

Good question. Would probably vote Labour without any great enthusiasm simply because broadly their policies are right for the whole community. As we well know the Tories will want to line their own pockets as we have seen clearly in the past. Have voted LibDem before but not now because of Falmer. Could consider Green as a protest.

Good questions.

Voting Green because I think they are sound on civil liberties, europe and a number of other issues and because I detest all the "major"* parties.



* Given that the next election will probably be won by the party that attracts around about 25% of eligable votes I struggle to see how Neo-Labour, Tories or Lib-Dems are in truth major parties.

Labour

 

[Ding Dong !]

Time for the return of the blue army

What he said me thinks. Though all probably as bad as each other.:US:

 

[strings]

Does anybody else think it is time for proportional representation in Britain? I know we'll never get it, because it is not in the interests of the two major parties. But at least a PR parliament (if based on the correct system) would arguably represent the views of the people.

 

[coventrygull]

I think it will be quite interesting to see how many people actualy turn out to vote.

 

[philsussex]

Why so many votes for Labour? Quite worrying.

 

[Monkey Man]

Strings makes a good point. I hardly ever vote for the party I really want, because I'm too busy being tactical, usually to avoid a Tory win.

I feel sorry for Brown. Whatever anyone says about him, he is genuinely interested in the creation of a fairer, prosperous country. Cameron is just venal. The Tories may dress up as eco-warriers and campaigners for social justice, but that's not who their voters are. The Tories are still the party of bigoted, small minded Mail readers and when they come to power a lot of people may be in for a nasty surprise.

 

[The Spanish]

From my point of view, I don't think they're running a candidate in Brighton East. Maybe I should put my name foward.

if thats a joke its a f***ing shit one. thin ice.

 

[wellquickwoody]

Where's the Sinn Fein option

Not even funny, f**k off!

 

[coventrygull]

Not really. There isn't a huge amount of difference between labour and conservatives.
