I'm pretty happy with the coalition as my political standpoint is pretty much in between the Tories and lib dems. Would vote conservative though. N
Very much this.I blame the last government.
u.k.i.p
Ed Balls cant even add up. reckons the change from 50p - 45p upper tax will cost £3Bn, when the treasury says the 50p rate pulled in £1bn and even Labours own original estimate was for £2.5Bn. so where does £3Bn come from? whatever you may think of the change thats poor maths for a shadow chancellor.
Official Monster Raving Looney if they field a candidate. they usually leave it to the unofficial looney parties.
What a load of toss all this "I blame the last tax and spend" govt is. The Tories and Lib Dems must be congratulated for selling the biggest lie to the British public. We want to believe that lie because we want someone to blame. After all, if there is no one to blame its not very convenient.
Remember this everyone, when Blair and Brown were making economic policy no Tory or Lib was jumping up and down and telling the country how wrong it was. They even supported it.
I couldn't vote Labour right now (and, no surprise I'm a left leaning voter). Milliband and Balls would be a disaster for the country. They lack leadership and policy - it is all just too dogmatic. Despite what Balls thinks we can't just spend our way out of this (idiot) just as Osbourne is wrong to cut his way out of it (idiot with lack of moral judgement).
If there was a vote tomorrow I would have to go for...
Obviously very focused in your opinions
Don't know who I'd actually vote for, but out of interest, how do you re-elect a coalition - apart from everyone voting the same as last time. I don't see how it works, if people are relatively happy with the Con/LD pact - how do you vote to get them back in ? (not that I see that happening as LD have pissed off enough people and proved be be pretty ineffective, I think)
Sadly,I voted LibDem last time as their slogan in this constituency was "Vote LibDem:keep the Tories out." So I did,and they didn't.
So I got my tactics wrong last time:I backed the wrong horse.
Now we have a Government made up of people I do not trust,and whose policies are typical Tory.Although they never won the election they have power.That's politics,and good luck to them.Cameron's lot should have cakewalked the last election,but they didn't.Labour should have been reduced much,much further than they have been,but have since assisted the right of politics by electing the unelectable as leaders.
Next time I will vote for a party of the left if there is one to vote for.Otherwise I will vote Labour and hope the LibDem here has used his time in power wisely to make contacts for a new career.
