I don't get this. What are you suggesting? Vote Labour? Vote Conservative? Don't vote at all?

As Marco said..None of the main 3 deserve anyones vote..They wont be getting mine

Cor you've changed your tune.
Although some here would try to persuade you otherwise these 2 are one in the same.
Cameron justifiably in my opinion was referred to as the heir to Blair. They both occupy exactly the same ground in politics Blair having brought Labour in from the left and Cameron having brought the Tories in from the right. There is a fag paper of difference between what they believe and we are just pawns in their game.
I'll be marching on May 1st with the only people in this country who represent the interest of the working man, Trades Unions and in the forthcoming elections I wont be voting for any of the 3 main parties. They don't deserve anyones vote.

Absolutely I've smelt the coffee.

Dont get me wrong, Im still a Conservative at heart but, not with these crooks at the helm. Too many double standards

Exactly! Elections are won in the middle ground.

This forum seems to be populated mainly by some on the left and some quite far to the right, but the vast majority of the electorate are somewhere in the middle. I put myself in this bracket and I have no real allegiance to any political party. I'll just be voting for who I think will do the best job for me, my family and the country.

Our voting system means that (hopefully) those votes cast for parties on the extremes of the left and right will not translate into any MPs and we end up with a government somewhere in the middle.

Andrea Leadsom, the new City minister, used controversial trusts to reduce her potential tax bill and took advantage of offshore banking arrangements for her buy-to-let property company – in an apparent contradiction to George Osborne’s attempts to crack down on tax avoidance.

It does not help when we finally find out that the 2 of the main purchases of ROYAL MAIL were state backed funds from Singapore and Kuwait

So much for the ordinary man in the street getting his hands on a few shares

i just look at the bigger picture-under labour we nearly sunk,it's taking ages to sort the mess but we slowly getting better.
Don't want to give the keys back to the person what crashed the car.

[joebloggs]

By the age of 21 I had been made redundant twice.........I had a wife and 2 babies at home relying on me. No way was I going to continue going through my life with the ever present threat of redundancy hanging over us
I got out and chose a different profession. It's as simple as that

Joe, Farage is not against immigration, hes against total open door policy to the whole of Europe. He has repeatedly said he wants controlled immigration but the media tend to cherry pick his words and twist them. Let,s look at this scenario The UK,s economy surges ahead and the rest of Europe goes into reverse. Where do you think everybody will head to? YES, across the water to our already overcrowded country. The motorways are packed out as it is, they can,t cope with the traffic we have at the moment. There are not enough houses getting built, so rents and house prices going through the roof. The hospital waiting lists have gone way up, the schools have not got enough places to go round - the list is endless - wake up and smell the coffee.

Unfortunately labour borrowed it all and maxed out the credit card hence the years of debt we now have to repay

the years of debt SOME now have to repay, it seems even those in the gov try and avoid paying taxes or their fair share

10p tax cut to the rich a couple of years ago says it all

The truth is, I've been around a long time and from starting work after leaving school up until now, whatever party has been in power has never really knowingly affected my life personally and nothing ever changes. Inflation will always be the same so will wages and taxes, we just have to get on with our own lives and if you strive for something in life save up until you can afford it be happy and grateful we live in the UK, it's better than most other places. If UKIP ever got in power you would lose a lot of what Great Britain has given us since the second world war, many worked hard to give us what we are lucky enough to have now and it's the moaners that are going to lose everything we fought for all these years!

[tiger31]

Here is a fact for you in Corby there are 46 employment agencies WTF you cannot get job security anymore because employers are using them so much these days. You practically have to go through a job agency to get work, and most of them only want foreigners on their books because they all work for the minimum wages.

I agree That's what my parents unwittingly taught me...Rely on no one apart from yourselves.

I can't blame the foreigners for wanting to come here, I did just the same years ago. At least they are not standing still in their misery, moaning about their lot. Excellent post Michael.
