Don't need to hear any more, my mind is made up
if everyone voted for one particular party OTHER THAN labour, then good times. i don't know myself who to vote for. chances are they'll all bugger it up either way...
I figured you'd be voting SNP? 
jesus hell no! shower a b****** lol
seperatism would be the worst thing for scotland i think.

MRLP for me
No way I'm voting Labour now after the anus I was talking to today told me I was lucky that I can't go to an interview because they won't give me childcare.
^ no ones been round to my door. i'd love to have a chance to take the pish out of them
No they don't do that, we had to write to the pratt then phone him.
i was looking on the news and they were saying that they will reduce the educational budget by 1bn
It's crap as it is and it's going to get worst.
I know as i am working on a FE college.
Todays message from the VP
REDUNDANCIES for 60 people to cover the losses.
Funniest thing, we are already short of staff. Possible wage reduction.
My view
Fire the VP and 10 of management and let us do our job properly.

Do you have a list of questions t0o ask them when they knock?
Like how much they will reduce fuel tax by?
Whether they think that alcohol is too cheap?
When they will employ dog sh*t police?
About re-establishing the Free raod tax for vehicles over 25 years old?
List some more....

Please can you keep him? somewhere near Thurso would be about right
And whats wrong with Thurso? No don't answer that
I like the idea of a standard list of questions to ask. When the uber expences wallas get the hang of it change the questions
UKIP for me. No peeps knocking on the door, probably down to the 17K majority the labour man round here has, he'll be swinging back and worth in
his rocking chair smoking cigars already.
Well, after being dumped on the dole last year with the plant moving to Poland there's no way I'm voting for him!

Hmm, I used to be in the labour party, until the then local councillor wouldnt support the poll tax protest (she is a posh mp now...) votign labour
was mandatory round here at one time (When the pit was open)
BUT, I left school the year Thatcher the Hatchet devil got in.. first she got her revenge on the pits then wapped my first mortgage up to 17%. Hope
its a long, long painful death.....
And Blair (tory in disguise) carried on her evil work, then Brown the Clown puts me out of work...
UKIP have a refreshing new political agenda that I would really like to see implemented.
Im going to vote labour.
Loughborough is a marginal tory/labour seat, and i would rather it go to them than to the tory, combined with the fact that i would be quite happy to
see a hung parliment, if onyl becuase clegg seem to the be the only one i have ounce of wish to vote for and i fell its the best chance at making a
change.

Crazy as it may seem, why not vote for Clegg if that's who you want in power?

I just don't 'get' this Nick Clegg rising-popularity thing after the leaders debate... to me there were no winners or losers (they were all equally vague), but it seems that Nick's being lauded just because he didn't sh*t his pants or burst into tears!

My favourite question for the Conservatives is this
"You're going to have a vote in Parliament to repeal the hunting ban because so many people break the law. What other laws are you going to
repeal because they're broken a lot? Speeding? Drug dealing? Murder?"
id vote for myself, but there is no box for the boggle national party.....

see, here's the problem, people say i don't want labour, so i'll vote for UKIP, or tory, or lib dem, or blah blah blah.
the hardcore labourists will still go labour, and the rest of the votes will be spread out amongst the others! just slightly worried labour still have a chance lol

Although I can quite understand you Scots wanting to disown him.
Fozzie
I've just read through this for the first time, and my first thought on the Bliar thing was, I thought he was Scottish, its strange that
it's so far down.
Glad to see I'm not the only one in a safe seat constituency, fortunatly my MP is the one I'd be voting for anyway. I voted Conservative in
Glasgow in the last SP election and I'll vote conservative here aswell, even if Cameron has brought the Party away from what it should stand
for.
Is it just me or did they say last time that the Lib dems were doing well and in with a chance?
Maybe we should all vote for one of us guys. To be honest I'm seriously considering joining Bookface just to tell all those people in the
"Jeremy Clarkson for Prime Minister" group to write his name on the voting slip themselves.
Not that I particularly want him in but he can't be any worse than anyone else...
Face it would you go round knocking on doors when there's a 75% chance you'd get punched in the face? I've been emailing them all
I saw a mocked up election poster for the 96 us election that had a Picture of Cthulhu over the white house holding a flag, underneath it said Vote
Cthulhu, Why settle for the lesser of two evils? seems to fit the current sentiment.
Only another week and we can start moaning about the results and who ever wins or doesn't as the case may be

Sent the e-mail below to my local candidates. I can guess the non-replies that I'll receive, but you don't get if you don't ask...
-------- Original Message --------
Subject: Voting for you in the forthcoming local / general elections
Date: Tue, 04 May 2010 19:41:44 +0100
To: val.morris@ntlworld.com, ivan.lewis@burysouth.fsnet.co.uk, jslewis@hotmail.co.uk, michelle@michellewiseman.com
Dear Val / Ivan / Jane / Michelle,
Having received your leaflets, I understand that you are the local election candidates for Bury South & Radcliffe, but am at a quandary as to your
policy toward the things that matter to me. In order to help me decide which of your respective parties to vote for in the forthcoming local &
general elections, I would appreciate if you could confirm:
* that your party intends to reverse current government policy by reducing fuel duty so as to reduce the costs accordingly to small businesses and
the electorate.
* that your party will actively discourage current road-planning practices of reducing available road volumes, e.g. halving the available road
space of the Moss Bank Way - once a usable 2-lane dual carriageway - to a single lane in either direction, in order to accomodate 2 cycle lanes and
unnecessary hatched areas, thus increasing congestion.
* that your party cares about the damage to the environment by vehicle pollution and the use of fossil fuels and will therefore reverse the
lowering of speed limits on extra-urban roads.
* that vehicle duty and speed camera revenue will no longer be used as a means of indirect taxation by which to supplement the already high level
of taxation that we in the UK experience in comparison to our European neighbours.
I await your early reply.

I find it quite amusing that people are still willing to vote labour (having criticized the tories for closing the tax dependent coal industry) yet
doing nothing to save MG Rover. And don't give me "we' can't under EU rules, cos if the French had to save one of their car co,
they'd tell the eu where to go!
They also want to vote for the man who started taxing pensions which had already had income tax paid on them.
The man who sold the gold at rock bottom.
The party who has created more public sector jobs than necessary.
2000 new pointless laws such as "it's illegal to set off a nuclear bomb" Duh!
Then there's Clegg who'll out-tax everyone as he tries to please the left and right by being indecisive and sit in the middle. And tax he
will.
I'd vote for UKIP, but it'll be one less vote to get Brown out so Cameron will have to get mine not that he impressesme one bit.
Still, I had a look at Canada's immigration requirements - over 18 and no criminal procedures pending. Looks promising. That'll be one less
tax for brown to collect.

Doesn't really matter, they're all pretty much the same.
I'd be willing to bet if we'd had 13 years of the tories we'd be in much the same position now.
On a more scary thought, maybe we (as a nation) are getting the politicians we deserve
I think it's devine retribution for Big Brother and the X-Factor
What gets me is the number of people who like to bring up the whole coal mining thing, even though it was almost 30 years ago and that the same people
go on about tax rises.
You can't be in power for 13 years and then campaign saying your going to change stuff, If you've been in power that long you should be
saying you'll do exactly as you are now.

I don't hate my Job, only that I don't make much money and have to pay a huge amount of tax, and that I can't have a house (Cheap house
round here is about 12 times my salary).
Its just every election labour parties bring it up and make out that there was a choice and that the Torries did it just for fun.

Hit the nail on the head about how our whole system has been corupted.
NOONE IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY IS VOTING TO SELECT THE GOVERNMENT, the whole point of the voting system is to choose who is best to represent your local
area but its not how people vote.
Both Labour and the LibDems have said they want PR, which is one of the reasons why the country will fall apart if they win.

Are there any decent Jobs anywhere?
The government cannot solve the world's economic problems. The government policies created the crises, but it's now out of the bag and too
late.
Whoever you voted for doesn't matter, you now get to complain for 4 years in a row. The rest of you, too lazy to get off the chesterfield and
cast an X, tough tiddlywinks, you can't complain at all.
As an aside, someone here in Canada pointed out that with all the economic uncertainty, it is strange that hardly anybody wants to lead and serve
their constituencies. Can't get decent people anywhere!
First hung parliament since 74 then.
Impossible for Tories to now get a majority, which can only be a good thing.
Just have to wait and see who makes friends with who now!
Cameron for me
