    Genuinely I don't know who to vote for - I kinda want to vote Lib Dem but I'm not that keen on Mr Clegg.

    Lab are tulipe

    Cons are tulipe

    Anything else will be a waste of a vote...

      Another Lib Dem vote here (mainly down to Vince Cable). If the Tories had someone with a bit of experience as the Chancellor candidate, it would be a different matter. Osborne's only full time job was as a temp data-inputer one summer. Why on earth haven't they got Clark or Hague or even Portillo in that important position?

          Any vote other than for Conservative will see Labour back in power.

          Liberal Democrats just muddy the water.

          Anyway, we'll have a national emergency and the election will be cancelled.

          Expect a jet smashing into Birmingham/Manchester/Liverpool/Leeds* sometime soon.

            Never has there been a greater need for a 'None of the above' option. Spoiling the paper is such a negative thing and it lumps everyone from protests and the incompetent together.

            I can't vote; I could have, but it is a potential problem if my status is questioned.
            How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              I take it 'minorities' includes 'independents'.

                That view is propagated by the big parties so that you give up your right to democracy.

                If that is how you feel, don't vote.

                  And minorities does not mean just BNP/UKIP type organisations.

                    But I feel like I should. If I don't I won't be able to bitch about them.
