Voting intentions at next General Election poll
Collapse

My constituency has only ever returned a Tory since it was founded in 1885. With 54.8% of the vote last time around I can't see it changing any time soon.
If the Tories win the general election, I'll wind up with a senior minister as my MP which I means he'll be too busy to do anything local, so I won't vote for him.
If we get any interesting independents standing here I might consider them, if not I suppose the Lib Dems will get the cross in the box.Comment

If the Tories are planning on scrapping or reforming IR35 then I will go with them.
If not, I haven't got a clue.
I doubt I can bring myself to vote Labour.Comment

I hate the big parties and party politics. It is not democracy.
So if the Missus drags me kicking & screaming like she did last time, I'll waste my vote on some independent or the Greens.
Either the Tories will get in and lie to us and screw us and fiddle their accounts and bugger everything up, or Labour will stay in and lie to us and screw us and fiddle their accounts and bugger everything up.
It's all meaningless. We may as well just give up and call them Democrats and Republicans or Thieves and Tossers or Pr**ks and C**ts.
The MPs are only allowed to vote in the way they are told to. Currently that means a hereditary, unelected, Prime Minister is effectively dictator.
Voting all seems so futile and pointless. It's just a way of pacifying the masses and making them think they have a voice.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

Which is why NuLabour rashly changed postal voting rules, believing it would increase their number of votes, without sufficient checks. The result being electoral fraud, especially in parts of Brum. Appalling hijinks including postal vote "factories" and houses with supposed occupants numbered in double figures.Originally posted by d000hg View PostThat's the biggest load of crap I ever heard.
