Unfortunatley....

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

as i live in Worthing, which is one of the most safe tory seats in the country, having voted conservative since the second world war, I see no point in participating in an election i cannot influence, which is also my first chance to vote.

who else is in a similair position in the constituency they are eligible to vote in?

 

[Here's Johnny!]

Also in Worthing and of a similar opinion to your own.........but our two votes could make all the difference

 

[thealbionfan]

Also in Worthing...yet I continue to vote knowing that for some reason the Tories stay in...

You should and need to vote...democratic right and all that...

I have to say I do get frustrated with the system though...

 

[burrish-gull]

Same problem for me in the Bexhill and Battle constistency, waste of time unless you vote Tory and hell would have to freeze over before that happens. With no Green or other option I simply won't bother

I always think it is worth voting - look at the 2002 French Presidential elections, where so many people though Jospin was going to easily win that nobody actually bothered to go out and vote. As a result, voters had to chose between a crook (Jaques Chicac) and someone from the national front (le Pen) in the run-off vote.

In many ways, I think a similar shock needs to happen in Britain to encourage people to go out and vote again.

Plooks - VCN2K means (I think) that his constituency has returned a Conservative candidate at every election since the war. Not that he has voted for a tory for all these years.

 

[Da Man Clay]

What!? You have voted since the second world war for the tories but yet this is your first election you can vote in!?

Me confused!

Worthing in general have voted Conservative since the second world war, not Mr Keeper!

How are the Lib Dems in Worthing? Strong Tory seats tend to have the Lib Dems as their serious threat. This has been the case in the South and Home Counties.

My constituency, Derby North, is Labour through-and-through, so I have no problems there.

 

[Scampi]

move this!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why?

 

[Curious Orange]

Much more fun in Guildford, been a marginal for as long as I've lived here (and no, Labour don't get a look in).

Send a message to your local MP via Power 2010 calling for them to subscribe to change

I too am fed up with the political process and this is my tiny tiny protest

My constituency, Derby North, is Labour through-and-through, so I have no problems there.

In East Worthing and Shoreham, typically labour, Worthing West Lib Dems, however the majority has always been that of 8-9,000 votes over the 2nd placed party for the tories.

Think it's likely lib dems will get second in East this year, with the 20 year old grandaughter of tony benn standing for labour!

 

[Brian Fantana]

If everyone took the attitude not to vote then we would get nowhere. I personally think that it should be compulsorary to vote.

Your vote may not make a difference but you will have at least had your democratic say.

I fervently believe that anyone who does not vote does not have the right to complain about anything that happens in politics in this country.

 

[The Peanut Roaster]

I think I'm right in saying that before the current goverment were elected 13 years ago, there's only been one Labour MP in the whole of Sussex, and that was Denis Hobden in either Pavilion or Kemptown, and that was only by 1 vote.

I'm anticipating a flaming here............

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Mid Sussex for me.

There's more chance of Tiger Woods making a lifelong vow of celibacy than of big-boned Nicholas Soames losing this Conservative banker.
