Not conservatives but not sure yet.
Labour man all my life but this time they can go and jump off a cliff.
Never ever thought I would say this in my lifetime but I'll give the Cons a go, cant do anymore damage to this country that labour already has.
I’m alive and kicking yeh baby.
Perhaps some people forget what the country was like the last time the conservatives were in power. It is amazing what a few years will do to people's memories . Record levels of homeless and people living on the streets etc.
Lib Dems for me.
maybe so but the country at least had some idetity then. I have always been a Labour man but they have fucked this country up and we have lost what it meant to be British.
Time for change and to get that lying fuck up of a pm who none of us elected in the first place out.

The decision is made really easy for me, because my constituency is a two horse race between conservatives and lib dems so it has to be lib dems, regardless of my views really.
Since 1997 labour have taken an average of £25,000 a year from the top 10% of the population and given £1700 a year to the bottom 10%, with the rest of the money distributed across the other lower salaries. Tory tax plans are to decrease tax for the rich, and increase it for the poor. If you are not in the top 10% of earners then you WILL be worse off under them, if they execute their proposed tax changes. That is indisputable mathematical fact. Almost every other metric has improved since 1997, and when you compare today's problems to the problems of the last Tory era, life is good.
Unfortunately people can't see that the recession was the worlds worst, and in terms of UK GDP only the great depression was steeper or deeper. Despite this, unemployment is still lower than it was during world economic booms during the Tories. In fact, unemployment raised by 300% under the last Tory government. Thatcher raised taxes and made huge cuts during a recession, exactly as Cameron plans to do immediately. History will repeat itself. Cuts certainly need to be made, but the other parties are going to try to learn from Thatcher's mistakes and do them in a way that doesn't hurt the man on the street as much, Cameron however won't.
David Cameron has described his wife as "unconventional" because she went to a day school. Are you going to let somebody that out of touch with common life (where 97% of people go to a day school) rule the country? I'm certainly not.
A Labour/LibDem coalition worked well for Scotland, hopefully they can agree on something for the British parliament too. We have proportional representation so the number of votes a party gets actually reflects whether or not they win, rather than a party with hardly any votes that are concentrated in one area getting into power through lots of seats. The one down/upside of this system is that it inevitably leads to coalition governments. They are both strong spirited parties but I think they might take that step if it keeps the conservatives out. Gordon Brown has even hinted that he'd prefer people made tactical votes for the other parties if it means keeping a seat away from the Conservatives. Perhaps just because he seems them as the only competition, but also because I'd imagine he'd rather be voting things through with LibDem MPs than conservative ones.
There are two Tory MPs currently in office who have voted against every single act of parliament designed to improve equality in any part of the social spectrum, be it money, race, gender, sexual orientation or anything else. http://mygayvote.co.uk shows their forward-thinking stance on homosexuality specifically. They'll send us back to the dark ages.
For those who aren't voting for Labour because of the Digital Economy Bill (good on you tbh, that was a pisstake) that shouldn't inspire a vote for the Conservatives either. They currently have 193 MPs in power and only 5 bothered to turn up to vote against the Digital Economy Bill. 4 of them turned up to vote for it, giving a net of only 1 against. 22 Labour MPs voted against it, going against the party whips as well as actually sticking up for the public and seeing the huge issues with the bill.
Interesting fact about Tories: the UK's only polar bear has been in the news this week because he has been seen to greatly enjoy the several months of deep snow in the Scottish Highlands, apparently he is like a new bear now despite being quite old. There is 1 Tory MP in Scotland. This means we have the same number of Tory MPs as we do Polar Bears. I enjoy this fact greatly. It has a serious point though, in the 1997 election, after many years of Tories proving what they can do, they won only a handful of seats in the richer parts of England. They did enough harm to turn the vast majority of the country against them once, and a quick comparison of their policies then and now and with the other parties show they will do it again.

I dont think I can stand another 5 years of Droopy, so I have to vote for a different party this time out. For me, politics is fucked, and I can't see it being fixed even with the parliamentary reform they are talking about, for me the only solution is to have a strong third (or indeed more) party who can stop this pingpong between Tories and Labour, so I'm voting Lib Dem. I really can't see it making any difference, because where I live is so staunch Tory that it will take a miracle to see anyone else in power, but I have to make my stand somehow.
typicial, voted and now loads more parties have been added. never mind.
Added a "force read" of this thread, so we should get a lot more views/votes on the poll now.
I know they all piss in the same pot, but i've really had a belly-full of labour, so for the first time ever i'm voting tory, not that it will make much difference in this labour stronghold, but it will make me feel better
Just do some door to door canvasing and tell them you are their local Conservative candidate that should lose them some votes.
I agree politics is fucked up beyond repair now.All of the major parties are in reallity all just the same as each other in all but name and are to heavily influenced by big businesses.
Fuck all the cambridge and Oxford educated pricks who have no idea how life is in the real world and just see leading the country as one big massive power trip.
