just wondered if anybody cared to show their hand.
after last weeks tv debate i'm going lib dem. i know this will probably result in hung parliment ( as they all should be ) but was never going blue and gordon has turned me off. i was going ukip until i saw the debate.
 
i dont know anything about politics and cant be bothered learning as i honestly feel whoever is in is only looking after themselves and will do us over in one form or another, have listened a wee bit to some of it and feel all they do is run down the others rather than tell us what they will actually do (and more importantly stick to it)
 
in my opinion they will all promise the impossible,but we are not stupid when one party promises to cut this that and the other to save us money and services then surely they will have to recoup it from elsewhere,give me a party that will tell it how it is,be upfront and honest(joke).this would be where my vote would go.😎
 
The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them.

Definitely won't be Brown, but as to which of the others, I haven't really decided yet.

or misguide them😎i would rather have someone tell it how it is,wether we like it or not,be honest(another joke).we are now taxed to the hilt for what?the more you work the more you are penalised,p*****s me off😡😡.
if we had a government with back bone and determination we would all be in a better position,sorry i am starting to rant now.😎
 
many people are going to vote for lib dems because of Nick Cleggs good tv performance. I thought we voted for politicians and policies? If we vote dependent on their performance on tv i may vote for bruce forsythe or that bloke from the one show. Or even Ray Mears, he is great on telly

ray mears gets my vote,he can get out of sticky situations just with a flint and his trusty knife,😀😀
 
Every single general election people only vote for one thing:-

The party that wins will be the one promising the least tax per individual and makes a reasonable case for a fairly stable economy to back this up.

While a good many use schools, quite a few hospitals and so on, most of us have no contact with the police, defence, quangos or anything else so we vote for the thing that does influence us - taxes.

I've thought for a few months that Tories will win the majority (but not necessarily enough to avoid a hung parliament), 2nd Lib Dems and Labour 3rd or perhaps 4th after UKIP.

It wouldn't surprise me if Labour's out for a good decade now as they've had 3 goes at destroying the UK and its society. Remember the good old fashioned banks and building societies? And HMS Britannia? And fox hunting (albeit a contentious issue)? And more recently Cadburys? And treating Royalty and the church with respect? And not trying to keep some of the good old financial names, eg Liverpool Victoria, Norwich Union, Guinness, British Gas, British Rail, British Steel, etc.

For the youngsters, many have huge loans from universities or no job at all if they didn't get to uni. Middle aged remember the late 70's and the strong economy the Tories created and handed over (complete with high unemployment it must be said) and the elderly remember the early 60's(?) when Labour nearly wrecked the country.

I feel the next few years will have the Tories and Lib Dems fighting it between them.

Also, is it only me who reckons the media is trying to create a hung parliament so they can continue to sell news?

Ooops - on a high horse!!
 
you're getting ray mears mixed up with bear grylls. he stays in hotels!
 
There's an Election coming soon????

I'l be ticking the box at the top, who ever it is


The thing about Bear Grylls which makes me laugh every time is he always comes across a valley or sheer drop and says the only way across is to swing on some vines or swim under water....

Yet before you know it, he's accross along with the camera crew, the soundman etc AMAZING!
 
My Mrs is from Canada and now has her British citizenship (cost about £4000), she's been here for 5 years now and has said she's done enough time here now and wants to go home. So I'm off for my medical and X-ray tomorrow for my Canadian permanent residency visa and going to try and give it a go over there, as she has done here. She can't believe how much taxes we have and sub standard conditions, IE roads.
It would be good if you were able to see where your taxes were going and being well spent!!!!
Whoever gets in has got one hell of a mess to sort out.
Good Luck and thanks for everything Labour (NOT)!!!!
 
we cant afford a hung parliment with gb still as primeminister as all it will do is leave us worse off than before. only one option, not always the best and thats to go blue and hope they work for business in general, we all pay taxes come what may but it needs to be simplified like it once was and bin all this tax credit stupidity omho
 
I tend to agree with you, but I do like the Lib Dems as councillors as those round here seem to do a good job.
 
i'd go for pm myself, if your all vote for me - we could turn britain into a plumbers only country, and sell them overseas.
kills many birds with one stone, schools - only teach plumbing. end of shortage of funds. hospitals will only need to treat us plumbers for asbestos poisoning and other related diseases (plus the odd lost finger - when the apprentice decides to force his finger into the pipe slice)

vote for me
 
I don't understand people saying that Labour always phook up the country but the Tories are our saviours.
Have you forgotten the most evil, mad old pig that ever lived?
Selling off everything we owned, the poll tax, closing down all our manufacturing and leaving us to rely totally on those city yankers for any money, closing down all the mines so we now have to import all our coal.
I could go on but I can feel my blood starting to boil just thinking about her!
 
it does not mater who wins they are all there just to rip us off,if we had any sence we would only elect people who have never been elected before,and who promissed not to claim any more expences than any other self employed person.

Both parties are as bad, which is why I'm liking the look of the lib Dems more and more

Blair did plenty of privatising too. Dont forget the PFI albatrosses we are stuck with for the next few decades. Manufacturing has declined in Europe and the US as well as the UK. It's the fault of cheaper foreign goods and cheap labour rates. Would have happened anyway.

All the parties are the same, it's just a case of trying to find which one may have more plus points. All I can say is we've given this lot 13 years and it's time for change.
 
Well done me voting bit ,was going consevative but put me cross on Lib dems,not that it matters much
Do it out of respect for my great grand father,went all the way through the 1st ww,always said important to vote,do not think he would be to impressed with everything at the moment🙁
