Who Are You Voting For in May?

[Scouse]

"If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal," Emma Goldman

Never a truer word said.

[Notavirusalso]

I hate to state the obvious but lab was voted in cuz we had had enough of labour, now labour are on thier way out we are having the cons stuffed down our throats by the media as the only option...
Labour were voted in by 33% of the voters of which only 33% of ppl that could vote actually bothered, therfore we are being governed by a party voted in by about 12% of the population...
The polititians are relying on ppl being so disenfranchised that nobody botheres to vote and they can carry on with thier pathitic lifes, unintrupted by the silly public.
just listening to PMs question time ( or none answer time ) makes me cringe.. all that bah hooing
they are 'spose to be there to make the country better but just seem to want to disagree with each other just for disagrements sake.
They have all been there long enough with plenty of funds between them this country should be in a better condition,
If the houses of parliment was a private company they would have gone bust and out of business by now........
The only way to clear the rot would be a complete clean out of all and let someone else have a go...

come on, vote for the guy with balls






sir winston churchill (1874-1965)

"We are with Europe, but not of it. We are linked, but not combined. We are interested and associated, but not absorbed. And Should European statesman address us in the words which were used of old – “Shall I speak for thee to the King or the Lord of the Host?” – we should reply with the words of the Shunamite woman: “Nay sir, for we dwell among our own people.”

[keithAngel]

I agree Joe but itv doesnt escape me that he stood for an organisation he doesnt believe in not that many do and the ones who have guts and integrity regardless of there beliefs wont be governing anytime soon

voting ukip, what a waste

Not necessarily a waste of time ... especially the way the country's heading at the present moment. Ask around ... British people are getting sick to the back teeth of being subject to the dictates of Brussels. I KNOW I am ... and ANY Political Party that can disentangle our laws from those of the rest of this farcical European Union, must surely be welcomed!

[bornatbirth]

the first 10 people who vote for me will get £10,000.

being jobless and skint is making a promise i cant deliver, if UKIP get voted in and get us out of europe thats great but how will they run the country and more importantly how will it affect me and my wife

I'm fed up from of being subject to the dictat of london, and the county council, and the town council and the parish council. Where does it stop? Be are also being dictated to by the world bank and the IMF should we withdraw from the rest of the world as well?

I don't agree with the EU, it is simply a capitalist clubbut get over the fact that 35 years ago the electorate voted to remain a part of the then Common Market. And if you can't get your head around that, tell me when Liverpool or Manchester or Sheffield, or Cornwall etc voted to be ruled from London.

I've no objections to *trading with European countries ... or anywhere else, for that matter; what I can't get my head round, are the ways in which our laws are being "monkeyed" around with. And it seems hypocritical to ME that, on the one hand, Britain is prepared to co-operate with ludicrous legislation dreamt up by its continental "cousins" ... yet persists in being a law unto itself, on the other, in terms of the implementation of its Immigration Policy - which I hardly need spell-out to members of this forum.

And yes, ... none of the cties/regions &c., you mention, elected to be ruled from London - as did neither Wales, Scotland nor Northern Ireland. But the fact remains, that good though the separate [Countries'] assemblies might BE - from the point of view of giving each a bigger say in government - WE, as a Nation, are perfectly capable of "standing on our own feet" without outside interference from across the Channel.

They may not get in but like many people Vote green it shows the major parties what people are really wanting/thinking.

Also hopefully UKIP will asorb votes which might have ended up with the in my view abborent BNP.

Personally my vote will go for our current MP who does an outstanding Job on Local Issues and had little to worry about when the expenses issue was in the news. What I think of his party I have yet to decide.

Pesonally I would like to have two votes one for who my MP is and one for who the governing group are.

[joebloggs]

a vote is not wasted on UKIP thats why they have 12 MEPS,

i dont even know what all their policies are, but if the tories or labour get in, it will just be the same

maybe it is time to pull out of the EU

Thanks to the Human Rights Act, a number of bizarre court rulings have handed more power
to criminals, and resulted in a devastating loss of confidence in the justice system amongst the
public. For example, nearly 200 drugs addicts won the right to sue the Government for refusing to
allow them to use heroin in prison16. Human rights laws have also been used to allow 9 Afghans
who hijacked a plane at gunpoint to remain in the UK rather than face deportation17

A wasted vote is where you use it to vote for something that you dont beleive in, and thats something I wont do. Why would someone that doesnt want Labour or Tories vote for either of them just cos they`ll win? Isnt it about what you beleive in?
I have visited the UKIP website and also for the sake of finding out the facts the BNP one.

even the bnp have one, so whats your point.

i thought they only got in because the majority didnt vote

lets see how they do in the general election

I think Labour and the Tories may find they dont do as well if everyone of voting age had to vote in person. Possibly many are saying they dont want the staus quo to carry on?

Pot calling the kettle black with the socialists lie jibe - strange considering in the last couple of weeks Bottler Brown has lied to the Chilcot enquiry, lied about immigration figures, lied to the Commons about defence spending.

As Joseph Goebbels once said "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it"

I nearly forgot cowardly Brown lied about increasing the inheritance tax threshold to £350000

You seem to have a very deep personal hatred of Gordon Brown and it comes across as if it really is personal..... like he broke into your house and kicked your pet dog to death or something worse. I wouldn't vote for David Cameron fistly because he's a lightweight and not up to the job and secondly because he's just a just the smiley face behind which is hidden the same old, look after the rich, tories that screwed everything up and who's policies in the eighties were extremely socially divisive....... but I don't feel any personal feelings of hatred towards him.

I have to agree with you bornatbirth, if he's so wound up with the labour party, bent politians and a certain football team, whats he going to be like when a major problem comes along .............

I do have a very deep personal loathing for Brown and his New Labour Cronies sitting smug in their Islington Pied a Terre's, fiddling expenses as they spend 13 years ruining this country. Is what you percieve the Tories to have done in the 80's the best you can come up with ? Typical Labourite nothing to add but lets go back decades in the history book - how about Balfour why don't you remind everyone about the declaration he made 90 odd years ago ?

It's not just about what they did in the eighties, it's because no matter what their rhetoric at present, their general philosophy has not changed since that time. They hide behind David Cameron because he says what they perceive to be the sort of things that will get them elected, but all of the grey old tories are still there waiting to drag up the same old policies if they can only manage to sieze power.

[walesrob]

Really? Try reading this:

Heres the news: theres going to be big cuts, and they will be socially divisive, whether blue, red or orange party. End of. The sooner we extract head from sand, the better. The longer head stays in sand, the more painful it'll be later. End of. Those are cold hard facts. Cuts are cuts however you dress them, and the red party cannot possibly claim otherwise. If you lie enough times or spin the story enough, people will believe you, and it seems this Labour government are doing just that; trust us people, we'll make cuts, but it won't be as bad as that Blue party.

I'm looking for solutions, but you Iain seem to think its only Red party that has solutions. I await your predictable Red is good, blue is bad response.
