Norman Verona Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 So, how are we all voting. I know I can no longer cast a vote but if I could I suppose I would vote lib-dems. As a lifelong socialist New Labour appear to me more like tories. The tories all look like Thatchers "wets". The only party that seems to actually care about the people of Britain are the lib-dems.

Mark (smokey mow) Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 SteveD gets my vote he can't do any worse than any of the others Quote
XTR2Turbo Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Pretty unimpressed by any of them so either won't vote or will vote conservative just to get rid of labour who have been a complete disaster of squandering money and increasingly nannying and controlling everything in our life apart from imigration..

carpetstu Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 If you had asked me 4 weeks ago it would be consevative all along..... Now tho I am possibly thinking Lib Dem One thing for sure they are all money wasting town killing scum bags that are no good for anything in the end. Quote
pistonbroke 2 Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Where I am you could put a sponge in a saucer and call it the Labour Candidate and it would still get elected. Gonna vote Monster Raving Loonies if there still around. Blatters for P.M. ( Knowall) Paul Hurdy for Chancellor of the Exchequer (Tight Git) Buzz for Minister of Culture ( P.C.gone mad) Hey perhaps we should have our own Parliament.Pretty shure We could do a better job than the theiving bergers we have now .

spence Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 As far as I'm concerned none of them deserve my vote. But the shower in at the moment are definitely not going to get it is all I can say at the moment. I think though that the word 'VOTE' should be changed to something else though. A 'VOTE' sounds as if you 'WANT' that party to govern, when in reality it's a lesser of all the evils that will do you and the country less damage. Thinks of a word that the X should be called......

lippydave Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 They are all lying, thieving, cheating, irresponsible, self-aggrandising scumbags, The choice we have is which particular variant of lying thieving, cheating, irresponsible, self-aggrandising scumbags to elect..... I've been a long term conservative voter (self-employed!) in a family full of socialists.... However, Cameron is slimier than Blair, and his bum-boy toff chum Osbourne is economically more naive and stupid than Darling!....Absolutely detestable, even more loathsome than that fat incumbent Scottish teetotal, non-driving, billy-no-mates retard who occupies No10 at the moment. Protest votes are all well and good, but I'm going for a slightly more realistic lib dem vote... If you don't bother to vote, then in my opinion you have far less right to whinge afterwards. Generations of British people have fought and died for our right to exercise some form of democracy here on our sceptred isle.... We should respect their efforts and sacrifices Take some responsibility and express your opinion via the ballot paper... Quote

I'd like to see a leader who stood up and said he would be 100% motivated to serve the people of the country. Quote
Tom Frankland (T3OMF) Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Jeremy Clarkson gets my vote............... the others can take a running jump!! Quote
windy Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Pity Clarkson isn't an MP. He'd sort the roads out, take licenses off the muppets that can't drive, put a minimum speed limit of 100 mph on the motorways, free fuel for any engine above 2 litres, trucks back on the railways. Not much else matters really does it. Seriously what party does the petrolhead vote for? Quote
sailing Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 As a banker my bonus has been severely cut and I am feeling the pinch. It is not my fault that you have all invested badly. You all go trolling of around the country side in your fast cars, wasting fuel and do not give a dam about us people in the city. We are making money for the country, only to be wasted by gungho Westfield drivers. I am voting for a government that will bad the lot of you off the road. PS, anybody selling their old Westfield seats no more than 15 wide. (Is that how you spell Gungho?) Quote

Captain Colonial Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 The pity is that my local Labour MP has done an outstanding job for the past 13 years after replacing his utterly crooked money-grubbing trough-diving useless Conservative predecessor of 20+ years. Yet despite of his hard work in the constituency, because his boss and his cabinet colleagues are as much use as a cocktail umbrella during a monsoon, he's tarred with the same brush and going to be out of a job in a month. The system of not being able to directly elect the PM is flawed in many ways. I will vote of course, and I think it should be compulsory, as long as voters are given a choice to abstain or to have a write-in candidate. As it is, I can't vote for a Conservative and imagine Mr Vacuous Shiny Face getting in; rewarding the Miserable Scot is nauseating; and not enough people will vote Lib Dem and they haven't got the depth to do the job. Deliberately spoiling my ballot paper as a protest is an option as they are counted. I just don't know. Guess I'll float my way into the ballot box... Quote
samcooke Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 It's the practice of voting against who you hate most, rather than who best represents your beliefs, that has kept British politics the two horse race that it's been for the last century. It's exactly what the main parties want you to do and it's the reason we don't stand a chance of fair rule if you fall for it. Be bold, don't believe the press or the politicians, and vote for who you want, not against who you don't and we might all stand a chance of a better system of government. And I agree with the Captain; if you choose not to vote, promise you'll sit there on election day and think hard about the thousands of our ancestors that have died to give you the right to put a tick in a box and all of the people elsewhere in the world that still are repressed and murdered in non democratic regimes. By not voting you're disrespecting every one of them. Quote

Very similar thought process to mine.... The two main parties are nauseatingly vomit inducing in both their personnel and policies..... Maybe their are enough of us disaffected people to give the Lib Dems a better opportunity than we might otherwise think? Can't believe I'm even thinking that, let alone typing it in a public forum..... I dunno, thinking about selling the V8, voting for liberals...Maybe I've been sitting too close to the gay lad in our office.... Quote
