Who will you vote for?

[Guest77]

Well we are just a few short weeks away, lets see what the percentage of the vote will be for each party, If I have missed any just vote in the "others" box

SNP. Alex salmond loyal!! Can't vote for miliband cos he's a divot. The Tories will always be despised up here also although I do think they have done a reasonable job. It's quite intriguing to see everybody squirm at the thought of the SNP having any kind of say in government

Not everyone Bigdav, I squirm more at the thought of the Tories having any kind of say in government.

Still not made up my mind yet. Always voted Labour but still not sure about Eddie.
May vote UKIP ??

 

[bigdavs83]

UKIP now there's a frightening prospect. A coalition between them and the Tories would be a very grim outcome indeed.

The tory press have been spreading rumours today he might lose his seat at the next election to Labour, It wouldn't suprise me, after ensuring the students pay 9k for uni and then going back on his word regarding raising VAT I think he has lost complete respect by the british public, oh how the mighty have fallen.

I would have no issue with the SNP if they actually cared, they would only worry about Scotland and not the UK, if Labour did a deal with them would they actually care about Wales, NI or England? I doubt it, so that is why I would not want them to have power in Westminster, should they come out now saying they would care and would govern properly should they get a chance to form a coalition then I may change my mind.

 

[Jonspark]

UKIP all the way!!

 

[Guest77]

UKIP could get 5 million votes and still only get half a dozen MPs.

lets not forget that Labour introduced tuition fees, with the backing of the Scottish Labour MP's and that the Scottish kids don't have to pay.

At least under the £9K rules less gets paid back than under the £3K rules unless you get a really good job.

As for VAT - well, look at the coelition agreement - it was on there.

I wonder what will be on the next coelition agreement??

 

[Guest77]

The point is Clive Nick Clegg stated he would never agree to the VAT rise, it was one of their main policies which made 6 million people vote for them, as soon as he was offered a Job he decided to forget his promise for personal glory, hewill pay for his major lie in May, regarding the 9k, it is 3 times worse than 3k surely?

I really don't know this time round, all an bunch of idiots privileged one's at that, just not in my world anyway.

Greens so I can join ISIS and come home with my new Jihad friends to use as cheap labourers....which will end up redundant because growing business will be a crime if it's not environmentally sustainable. But I get to use my government supplied £70 a week to buy drugs to alter my mind to a state where voting 'Green' party is a good idea :rolleyes4:

 

[trev]

It's a foregone conclusion who will get the seat here. For me I think my protest vote will go to the person or party I despise the least I hate the entire tory front bench with a fiery passion, the back benches are little better. The labour front bench is tory lite.
Cleggy and his lib dems cannot lie straight in bed at night, they sold their souls for a seat at the big table and the notion of having a hand on the reins. From what I can make out they've had nothing of the sort.
Farage and his happy bunch are isolationists who will ruin the country if they get anything handed to them on a plate.
The Greens have too many silly ideas and I like progress not regression. I can't see myself loading up the horse and cart of a cold winter's morning.
SNP have no candidates round my neck of the woods but it'd be pointless voting for them anyway considering I'm not Scottish.
If only there was a true left wing socialist party I could get behind

I've edited that for you Trev. We may not agree on politics, BUT none of them have a clue

 

[trev]

You're right Clive. I also agree with you about the no one under 40 and must have had a career in the real world rules.

My card has just popped through the letter box. lol

 

[D Skelton]

Got my letter through the door the other day from my local Labour councillor.

Loads of promises made, so I thought I'd take 5 mins to email him. This is what I wrote:

Dear Peter,

Thank you for the letter you sent to me today asking for my support of the Labour Party.

The problem is, New Labour sold out the working classes a long time ago. They allowed creeping privatisation and diluted the power of the unions. You were complicit in allowing the country to become dependant on finance, and not manufacturing, and this is partly the reason why we're in the mess that we are in. I'm not going to sit here spouting the same old Tory rhetoric of "Labour caused the financial crisis", because they didn't. The truth of the matter is, you all did. By that I mean; Thatcher did everything in her power to ruin this once great country, and your party did nothing at all to reverse the damage.

You were once the choice for those who wish for social equality. Now however, the gulf between the rich and the poor is the largest it has ever been, and New Labour have sat by and watched, tacitly approving of the injustice so commonly found in today's society.

I fear for this country and its future, I really do. I'm so scared by how fast things are declining I'm already considering plans to emigrate elsewhere. I simply cannot let my child grow up in a society where the needs of the privileged few are given far greater attention than the needs of the poor.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. This is the society I wish to see, and you and your party are no longer able to deliver this.

I've been a Labour voter all my life and I'm 100% serious when I say that I'd die before I vote Conservative. Unfortunately however, for the reasons explained above, I cannot vote for you now either.

Kind Regards,

Did you get any response, D Skelton?
