Voting

Anyone done that Vote for Policies not Personalities survey?

Quite interesting, although I got 4 different parties from the 4 areas I chose, so not really that useful

Not bothering to vote this time, both main parties are shit and voting for any others is a waste of time.

I'm torn between wanting exchange rates possibly getting better while i'm in the states with the tories getting in.

and thinking the tories are shit. all their future party members seem like complete cunts, somebody who wrote into the observer magazine after a feature on them got it spot on when the said they look like contestants form the apprentice.

that said labour look crap as well.

i'm probably going to wimp out and leave the country before voting is possible any way.

im not voting, they all make me sick.

Do you automatically get registered to vote through council tax?

Got polling cards through today but i never registered at this address

Would really fucking hate it if the tories got in

im voting lib dem, i know f all about them but do not want Cons!

Voting for a crook or a cunt. It's a real giant douche/turd sarnie scenario.

must be lovely living in scotland, best country and people in the world.*

Brown is abysmal.
All labour governments spend to the limit of their ability to tax and borrow, this one being no exception.
He was even borrowing money at the top of the cycle when everyone knows you should be paying it back.
He claimed to have beaten the boom bust cycle, funny thing is he has stopped claiming that!
He blames our recession on outside forces when it was caused by overheated asset values caused by his policies, hence we were the last major economy to come out of recession.
He said video games cause knife crime.
We are now one of the most indebted nations on earth, our children will be paying it off.
We are taxed approximately double the amount when Labour first came to power.
He relied on the city to power the economy. Manufacturing declined more and further than under Maggie.
He destroyed the UK pension system by taxing it to support his spending.
He supported an illegal war in Iraq.
He deprived our soldiers of vital equipment needed for combat. (Google "snatch land rover")
He introduced the tax credit system that is massively defrauded.
The Private Finance Initiative has taken billion in debt off the government books, we will still have to pay for it, at inflated prices.
He took away our Magna Carta rights with a massive expansion of police powers.

However, Cameron has the substance of a drenched tissue and his party's economic policy is, for the most part, foolhardy at best. If the Lib Dems didn't have the pathetic Clegg at the helm I think they could make serious inroads this time around. They'll get my vote, but of the realistic outcomes I mildly favour a Labour win, albeit with no enthusiasm whatsoever. I won't be too disheartened by a small Tory victory though, firstly because Cameron is a one-term PM if ever I've seen one, as his passionate love affair with the a character like Osborne shows.
