spoilt ballot paper , with kill the rich scrawled across it.

I voted green in the poll, although this was because they were the best alternative on the list.

In reality, I'd be torn between spoiling my ballot and voting for some no hope left wing party. However as Tottenham is the safest labour seat in London with a clown for an MP it wouldnt make much difference what i did.

My biggest problem with the handling of the economy is that labour had one plan to sort it out, and the Tories have another. I don't really know which one is correct, but I believe that if you set off down one path you stick to it. Switching policy in mid-stream like this is really going to harm the recovery IMHO (and is already happening?)

Co-allition - between them they are sorting out the debt and have the brains to block each parties stupid policies

Erm... NO. The Lib Dems saw the chance of being in power and grabbed it, having been out of power for so long. Clegg has sold his (and his parties) soul to the Conservatives, just for his 15 minutes of fame. The Lib Dems will get a real kicking come the next election and all the good work that Charles Kennedy and co. had done to re-build the Lib Dem support, will have been wasted. The Lib Dems will not 'block' the Conservative polices as the coalition will fall apart early and they will be back on the streets. Come that day, Clegg will defect to the Conservatives.

Wait untill the end of April 2011 and have another poll.

I predict that Labour will top the poll with over 50%.

Ofcourse they will, but that will be as irrelevant as an opinion poll now. I wouldn't be surprised if this became the most unpopular government in British history, but what matters is that they do what must be done and keep going to the end of their five year term.

Probably best sticking with Groucho or Chico. Ask Harpo about the urban proletariat and he'll just produce a giant pair of scissors and cut the end of your tie off.

It's really small government versus big government. Labour like the idea of government being involved in every bit of your life while the Tories prefer government was there to run the country rather than your life. Personally I'd prefer the smallest government possible.

On the basis they haven't yet done much wrong, and if it was possible, I would vote for the coalition government currently in power.

In an interview on Sunday morning Clegg said they would be announcing measures to bolster HM Revenue & Customs to tackle tax evasion and tax avoidance. He suggested there would need to be legislative change to close the tax loopholes and he wanted to address the tax cheats as well as benefit cheats. So with baited breath we waited to hear the plan to close, secure and enforce the £120billion tax gap... What was announced? The tax gap is only £7billion. So £113billion a year uncollected, evaded and avoided tax is okay then in the eyes of this bankers government. The tax PAYER and our public services will continue to subsidise the Millionaire thieves, spivs and bankers that decide ConDem government policy. :mad:

And Labour had 10 years to sort it out - what did they do?

The country is going down hill, and has been for a long time, Labour Cons and Lib Dems will not do anything to put things right, the only party that would change things for the better, is the BNP

Quite right. This is why we need a party that genuinely answers to the needs of the many not the few. As long as interational capitalist speculators continue to 'own' the economy then these piper-payers will ensure the key policies of all the capitalist parties (New Labour included) protect their long term interests. You can't control what you don't own.

Load of rubbish, what exactly will the BNP do to improve anything? I am not certain they even have an economic policy.
