General Election Vote

[Jordy]

I believe that Labour could if they have the time, right leader and right cabinet could really sort out the country. From when I see Gordon Brown on the television and read articles about him I think to myself - this man wasn't ment to be PM, he was a chancellor who is sorting out another persons problems (i.e. Tony Blair) - I think they should be given the chance to put things right.

13 years at the top of UK Politics and this guy needs more time? He could go on forever at this rate. It was always very clear that Gordon Brown was solely incharge of the economy, Tony Blair never strayed into economics. They both say this themselves, that the two kept out of each others business despite holding the two most important jobs in government, to avoid conflict. Tony Blair let Gordon do whatever the hell he wanted and Gordon didn't even tell Tony Blair what the budget consisted of.

Unlike today's government where Gordon Brown has got a firm grip on the economy, I get the impression Alistair Darling has very little say.

Frankly it just worries me that there's not a single person people like in the Labour cabinet. No one even tried to challenge Gordon Brown for party leadership, when there's been attempts to oust Brown, there's always been confusion on who to back (Hence why they have failed). I hate to say it, but the best Labour has is Lord Mandelson

As for a hung parliament, that also frightens me. I think it'd be worse than another 5 years of Gordon Brown, Labour/Lib Dem would be a useless government which got very little done due to all the in-fighting while the country collapses in the background, practically mirroring the 70s. While I know Dan and many UKIP supporters hope this happens, either so Proportional Representation is implemented by the Lib Dems or so that the Conservative party will get a new leader, I think the country will be devastated in the meantime, possibly beyond repair even for a Thatcher-like figure.

And btw the poll is useless and not very indicative at all - Tories started off with a decent lead, then UKIP got an enormous lead and now Labour has caught up so they're all neck and neck. I'm reassured the BNP hasn't any votes yet though.

Same as Catzsy Gordon Brown, although a nice guy at heart (or tries to be), isn't the best politician in the world. But looking at the alternative, I'd rather have someone else (Cameron reminds me of an annoying Tony Blair). I might vote Lib Dem in the end :/

I'm like this. I don't like Brown, but I like Labour! I wish they had someone in charge who was more charismatic and greater in speeches and debates. Kinda like Hitler, if you take away the evil. Cameron, you have to admit, seems a likable guy, but I don't see any numbers when he proposes actions. All face, no substance in my opinion.

So you will donate £100 if they don't? xxx

Sooner put it on at the bookies that they would come 3rd and it must be good odds of 20/1 at least so thats 2k profit then I WILL donate £100 lol Cant go against something I hope happens

I must tell everybody that political parties are NOT FOOTBALL TEAMS and you dont stick with the same one for life You vote on the ones that do as they promise. You vote on policies that you agree with and not because your family vote for that party all the time. From looking at the poll there must be a lot of jokers here or people from families living a life of luxury on benefits and want another 5 years as poor persecuted people who cant help being unemployed.............

Or maybe, I can't judge the Conservatives on any policies they have, because I don't know what policies they have. That is, assuming they have any.

I think they do have them but are waiting until the election is called before making them public Labour have stole a number of the good policies from other parties in the past so think people are keeping their cards close to their chest. If this is not the case then Cameron needs kicking out asap.

I like the poll colours, it's even got UKIP covered (UKIP use pink and yellow, I believe?)

I like the idea of a Labour government, but unfortunately Labour does not exist anymore - what we have is New Labour which has been quite a mess. The Conversatives are straying away from what Conversation is/was, and are taking on a new Labour position. Lib Dems seem to be keeping to their policies and ideologies.

[Browney]

So Cameron is relying on people voting for the Conservatives because Cameron is a likable guy? The Conservatives will win for all the wrong reasons.
