Who will you vote for?

[D Skelton]

Did you get any response, D Skelton?

Yes. Gumpf.

Dear Damien,

I must take issue with you on a few things - the minimum wage, lifting 2.7 million pensioners and 1 million children out of poverty, for example were achievements aimed at working people and people facing disadvantage. Doubling spending on health and education and improving each of our pubic services was also an achievement which disproportionately benefited working people and people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

You can see now what a government lacking Labour’s values delivers: foodbanks, Bedroom Tax, fear in areas of deprivation and public services close to their knees once again.

I run a charity for youth unemployment and was an aid worker for a decade, and I have a PhD in community development. These are issues that I deeply care about and want to fight for in parliament bringing all this experience with me. Sadly, in Hove and Portslade, a vote for any other party than Labour delivers a Tory victory. This is exactly what happened in 2010 and you can see the result with your own eyes.

Please stay in touch. I really hope you will stick with us, so much is at stake.

All the best, Peter

I'm sure he is a nice man, my problem isn't with him, it's with his party.

There is no party that caters for my views.

Chances are I'll be biting the bullet and voting UKIP.

Can we have a de scoob button (oops wrong forum!)

My reasoning being, A. It's a protest vote, and B. We have to be realistic here. Chances are, the Tories are gonna win the election, however not with a majority. They will have to form a coalition and its more than likely it will be with UKIP rather than Lib Dems. At least with UKIP in number 10 as well, we will be guaranteed our EU referendum today, and not in three years time.

Believe me, there is a hell of a lot I disagree with UKIP on, but truth be told, I want out of the EU, and I actually like Farage.

I have a vote so it is my responsibility to use it, but I want radical change, and voting for Labour will not bring me that.

fair play, you explained that well, thanks for participating in the thread mate, as you can see from the poll result so far others think the same, UKIP are tearing the rest apart at the moment and running away with it.

God help you all if ukip get in.

 

[D Skelton]

God help you all if ukip get in.

It's gonna happen whether you like it or not.

 

[Fin170]

I'd rather he answer for his war crimes first

Hum....... don't be so sure

 

[D Skelton]

Hum....... don't be so sure

What, that the Tories won't win a minority victory and have to form a coalition with UKIP?!

Sadly I think it's almost a certainty!

 

[telectrix]

my prediction is a conservative majority, or close to it, with ukip getting quite a few seats, and possibly forming a coalition. lib-dems will get their noses pushed out, along with the greens.

 

[rapparee]

What about this grand alliance i keep hearing of consisting of labour/SNP/Plaid cymru and the SDLP.

 

[Des 56]

What about the next government of labour/SNP/Plaid cymru and the SDLP.

Edited for factual correction

Hum..... not so sure about that.

I think another Conservative/Liberal coelition is more likely
