Who will you be voting this summer?

[Bun]

Cant say i have voted and i doubt i ever will doesnt bother me and the way i see it my vote isnt really gonna make a difference.

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.





sorry for double post btw.

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.

I am lol, i'll miss voting by a few months this year but theres always next May in the local elections. I guess i'll be 'supporting' UKIP then. But seriously, although they wont get into office anytime soon I want a hung parliament because with any hope the Conservatives will either ditch Cameron or they'll start offering real Conservative policies which we need to get this country back on track as we did in the 1980s under Thatcher although again, not much faith in 'cast-iron' Dave. 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.

Anyway the election means your only voting for a government which decides a mere estimated 25% (could very well be less than that figure) of our laws, the rest are decided in Brussels by unelected, foreign eurocrats.

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.

If you want business to be nationalised via the government, want higher taxes to spend on the state and others, believe in the notion that prison doesnt really work and laws should be less hefty, want bigger government and more state control and so forth then you are a socialist (to the left [Labour] so to speak).

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.

BNP. Say no more.

Ew.

Would vote labour. If I could

[Black_Apalachi]

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.
