Would never vote Conservative out of principle.
been voting Labour but im pissed off with them, but they'll still probably get my vote. will be the last time though if things don't drastically improve.
Lib Dems are the only alternative for me but they're so namby pamby about everything, they only seem to come out to fight when someone else cocks up and theres votes to steal. But they are definately gonna overtake Conservatives in the coming years.
im scottish, but i'd never vote SNP, that bunch of idiots are gonna do more damage than good to my country.
and scottish socialists? dont even get me started on them. good riddance to tommy sheridan, he was a joke. Im glad he has been exposed as a slimey greaseball. he only ever went after unrealistic goals to win votes. sorry you sunbed loving turd, but getting arrested outside a naval base just makes me think your a muppet not a hero.

or aint anyone gonna bother?
The smart money's on Buckley for Mayor next time out. 8)
Looking for a campaign manager???
Personally, I think we might be better off aiming a little higher - what about a position within the UN instead?

chewie_oo7 said:what are you policies then Mr B?
Real performance targets for all public services managed by headhunted stars from the private sector. Team of quantity surveyors/accountants run peronally by moi to monitor financial performance and implement long term ecomonic strategies instead of short term political ones.
Tube drivers to be hung, drawn and quartered and replaced by automatic tubes - they go from a to b along a track from which they cannot deviate for f**ks sake.
Bob Crow (RMT) to be tied to line when first automatic tube commences.
Ken to have his arms yanked off and be beaten with the wet ends.
Congestion charge to be frozen at initial cost and extent.
Oh yeah, OLIVES FOR ALL too!

Mark Thomas will be doing the PR but I suppose as you are both gonna be working for nada, two's all good pups
Lib Dem.
Just 'cos labour have been rubbish, although better than the conservatives. Although I wouldn't want a Lib Dem government because they need to say more about cutting needless red tape and beaurocracy rather than just increasing taxes, and I don't believe in proportional representation, it scares me.
A lib dem vote will give labour the kick up the arse they need, but people shouldnt vote lib dem if it means that the conservatives are more likely to get into power in their constituency. That's like shooting yourself in the foot.

I don't envy you all.. you've got it worse than we had it in November. Not just 2, but 3 lame choices! (OK, there was Ralph Nader but he was 10-times more a longshot than the Liberal Democrats).
Blair's Labor had so much promised but they've allowed themselves to get far too distracted (thanks, in part, to my good old United States government). The Torries remind me of the Democrats. Once mighty, but so confused and disjointed while being the opposition that whatever good qualities they might have had have been diluted.
I don't know what I'd do if I were a UK voter. I think I'd lean towards Labor but I find the whole nanny-state concept frightening. Then you've got the Torries, who basically privatized everything in such a way as to make Russia's chaotic mid-90s mass privatizations look good (wanna go for a train ride?) and who appear to have flipped sides on a bunch of issues once "New Labor" staked out the middle ground. And are the Lib Dems anything more than a protest vote?

I used to hate people that said that they just wanted to spoil their ballot paper - but on this one I just might. No real debate happening on anything, just gimmicks.
