Who will you be voting this summer?

[=Dan=96]

Labour cause i like the name lol

[Bun]

Swindon, the Conservatives will likely win the ward. Thats part of the reason I'm being allowed to stand when I'm fairly new to "Real" Politics, it's to gain experience so in future elections I will be able to contest places where the Liberal Democrats stand a really good chance of winning it.

Undertaker I'd also like to point out how "kids" can't vote in elections.

ah yeah my dad stood for a labour councillor before even though it was in a very safe liberal seat i think . i was at primary school and oblivious at the time cos i had friends bringing pamphlets to school and showing me i was like what the hell? gl when you stand .

Labour cause i like the name lol

Were you born in 1996?

Maybe 85p where you live but £2 (to school and back) in Manchester. Besides, kids cant vote anyway, so it really doesn't matter who they support. Most students who vote are at university and believe me, I know from experience, most uni students value money and look after it.

Well you know £2 isnt that much in the grand scheme of things, i'm sure you are other kids spend a lot more every week on sweets/alcohol. On kids of course it doesnt matter who they support, but the fact of the matter is that kids cannot and do no value money - hence why they are all usually skint for spending it all on getting hammered (while at Uni especially).

Never said kids could vote mate.

Both UKIP and the Conservatives support the decaying old systems. The Conservatives say "Year for Change" but I can't find any real change in their policies can you?

Labour have totally lost their way but it really annoys me when people jump on the bandwagon and bash labour. They gave us the longest period of sustained economic growth, falling crime and greater social mobility. If anything you should be complaining about Top up fees and Iraq.

What decaying old system?

Oh wait you mean;

• Spend OUR money on OUR people.
• Increase military funding for OUR military.
• Leave corrupt, wasteful EU which our people dont want to be in.
• Stay as the United Kingdom and not a province of Europe.
• Lower taxes to people can spend their own money on themselves.
• Smaller government so it wastes less.

Well it may be old but it bloody well worked and its what people want. You are very good at dishing out great Obama-like phrases like 'Change!!' or 'Down with the old system and in with the new!!' but what exactly are you proposing? - On Labours track record if you really believe their government figures that crime has fallen then you really have fell for them. Although maybe crime has 'offically' fallen but that is only because sentences have fallen and most people the police dont even bother to try and catch now because if they do, it'll only cost money and time and they'll be let off.

Its great the way the left constantly blames all their problems on the Conservatives and Thatcher yet right now they are pretty much following her economic policy (just overspending and wasting it). I do love it though when Liberal Democrats and Labour voters moan about higher taxes when Labour and the Liberal Democrats have always supported and raised taxes to fund their absurd wasteful spending programmes (no doubt we'll see some on this forum from them when the Tories are in office) - and they say turkeys dont vote for Christmas!

It is if its £10 a week and its a working class family. Like I said, do your parents buy your clothes etc for you? Because many kids parents don't ...

Anyway at uni, many people work and spend their own money, so they do realise how hard it is to get jobs and earn money. I know this because I bloody go to uni and I speak to people and they always say how hard it is. Many of them go out less to save money.

Majority of the students at uni:

have to buy their own food
have to pay for their own travel to and from ni
have to pay for their on travel to and from their home
have to have a bit of a social life

Thats just a tiny bit of it.

So no, not all of it is spent on just "alcohol and sweets etc". You never open up your mind and think ALCOHOL! THATS WHAT THEY ALL SPEND THEIR MONEY ON. "/

I buy my own clothes and I can because I saved my money and didnt waste it. Uni students find it hard because they want the maximum amount to spend on drink, hence why they often buy cheaper food and so forth so they can get hammered on the weekend. Lets not pretend here; kids are kids - they want a good time and they'll spend their money. Kids dont know the value of money, some will of course but the vast majority waste it. I dont know of one person who actually doesnt waste their EMA money.

Well its your lucky day as I didnt waste my EMA Finally met one guy eh?
And you cant tell me uni students don't value money rofl when you aren't even at Uni. You learn from experience. Yes they get drunk every week, but they realise the value of the money.

Good, its a sensible thing to do. On Uni students, if they are getting hammered everyweek and are skint then they are no good at money and thus do not value it - why would they anyway?; very little bills if none at all, no family to provide for and just going out getting hammered every week. Don't paint them into something they are not, they are no little angels.

This is just an unbelievably ill-informed, subjective and uneducated comment not based on any evidence or fact at all. Your posts would be so much better if you were a bit more objective, actually based on pertinant facts and didn't keep repeating the same information time and time again. The reason that members don't have 'the last word' is because you wear them out with rhetoric and just keep repeating yourself so then you think you have 'won' the argument. You are obviously very intelligent so I just don't get it :S
I don't know who I am voting for yet as Gordon Brown is not impressive and It maybe a blessing in disguise to lose and then get a new leader. If anything I think I would like to see some sort of co-olition. It is not a good time for politics in this country with what the main parties have to offer.

[Tash.]

I'll be voting labour, I don't care what anyone says they are the only choice. I despise the Conservatives, the Lib Dems have zero chance and UKIP/BNP/others are all jokes.

I'm not sure you are the right person to be commenting on uni students. If you aren't one/haven't been one you just don't know. I happen to know (because I researched it myself when I planned on going to uni) that although it seems that all uni students do is go out and get hammered, these are just the ones you know about. There are of course students who don't even drink, what do you propose they 'waste' their money on. I think it's quite appalling that at 16/17 or whatever age you may be you are judging people your own age about how they spend their money. It's really of no consequence to you. I didn't waste my EMA and a number of my friends who recieved it didn't either. It just so happens that if a person spends some of their EMA on clothes, well you sort of need them to be able to attend college. If you spend it on transport, well again you do need that to actually attend. You are a very judgemental person who likes nothing more than to batter people down with the same old things time and time again. It gives you the impression you've won the argument but in fact you haven't, you've just put the person off replying because you are judgemental and don't listen.
