trust me man, your vote may not seem important in the whole spectrum of it, but it really is! say you had a certain view or slight wish and a party had included it in their manifesto, you could regret not voting. i'm not forcing you to vote cos it's your choice but i think it's imperative to get young people interested in politics. :PQuote:

UKIP, i'll vote Call Me Dave if and when I hear some real policies from him. Labour, Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats are all the same.
RESPECT.

A lot of the vote this year is going to go away from the Tories and to UKIP and the BNP which could very well cost the Conservatives a large number of seats. I think in 2005 UKIP cost the Tories 30 - 40 seats due to splitting the vote.Quote:

BNP. Say no more.
Everyone is a Thatcherite; if your family owns a business, wants lower taxes to spend on yourself, believes in the law and justice, wants smaller government and less state control and so forth then you are a Thatcherite like it or not.Quote:

I read about Thatcher with a biased mind against her just like you may have now - I supported the Liberal Democrats and believed she had ruined this country. When I actually sat down and read about her, the history of the country and how bad the 1970s were for Britain, I changed opinion because it just made common sense what she did and what she stood for. EU, well its true and its a great shame. Many dont vote in politics now because quite honestly they [ruling Lib/Lab/Con elite] no longer reflect the majority view so people just think 'stuff it' or get pushed to the extremes such as the BNP because they feel there is little hope elsewhere. Our government cant even decide what lightbulbs we should use or how large our fruit should be.

Christ why does everyone want to vote Labour? I'm probably going to end up wasting my vote. Although if I was undecided, I'd probably just vote for anyone other than Labour rather than waste it.
