I'm still waiting to see whether I'll get a vote.
I live in the Speaker's constituency, which by convention would normally mean he is returned unopposed, but Nigel Farago or someone similar has threatened to stand against him.Comment

However if you really want to oust the Labour Government the only real alternative is Conservative - Liberal Democrat is a wasted vote.Comment

UKIP for me. I've paid my £20 and joined.
A hung parliament would be best all round....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

We may as well just flip a Reversi tile every five years and see if it comes up red or blue and appoint the government accordingly.
Voting Conservative to get rid of New Labour is as clever as voting New Labour was to get rid of the Conservatives. There's no longer any difference between them, their policies (and what policies would they be, anyway?) or the way they behave.
A General Election is supposed to be about selecting your representative, not picking which of the two identical parties gets to **** things up next time. That's how they do it in America and we don't have to be the same. If that is how you want things to be, there is no point having any other parties or independents and there is no point voting.
As HAB says, spoil the ballot paper. If you won't vote away from the shysters, at least make some form of protest.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

Instead of repeatedly making the same mistakes, do something different. Because if everyone followed the "oh, just vote for the other lot" there is no point carrying on with this time-wasting and expensive farce of a pretend democracy.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment
