Voting intentions at next General Election poll

[dx4100]

Same here. Complete waste of time voting.

No doubt the result is coming out the same way because too many people think along the same lines.

If the turn out was higher then I would not be surprised to see a swing.

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.

I'd still prefer they keep trying to get turnout up.

Why do people think more people should vote?

They should make voting a test with several questions on policies etc., and if you can't match the party's policies with the party, your vote doesn't count.

That way only the people that have thought about it influence the result.

But that works off the principle that parties aren't all a bunch of lying bastards in the first instance

Yes, but if you're going to base your voting system on the fact that the parties are all a bunch of lying bastards, then there really is no point voting, or even holding an election.

Just let Brown and Cameron take turns.

And that's how it has worked for decades.

Voting is pointless.

Our current system is based on the core principle that every person is as important as every other. You might not like that system, but while we have it people should probably be encouraged to vote.
