[UK] Which Political Party?

I take it you're not an intellectual then.

erm someone is perfectly capable to be an intellectual but not be interested in that sort of thing.....

--------------------

anyway voted for UKIP personally

[MKR&*42]

That's downright unfair. I hope you're being sarcastic...

I'd say UKIP. I don't know if they've dared across the bridge into Wales yet, though.

They have but the only Welsh UKIP MEP just resigned (or plans to).

Anyway UKIP.

[Inseriousity.]

Doesn't even go to school - apparently - hardly of the academic group.

I don't believe the UKIP thing though, not sure how anyone couldn't have known about them - given the advertisements and coverage surrounding them recently.

Really easily. It's hard to believe because you're interested in politics but for someone who isn't, it's easily ignored.
I haven't really decided who I'm going to vote for tbh. I'm not feeling a 'yeah this vote feels right' for any of them.

Where I live, you couldn't walk through the town without seeing at least one poster/advertisement (which normally caught your eye as someone had drawn over Farage...)

I am not interested in many things, but I still hear about them. I have never watched a second of "Towie" in my life, yet I have still heard of it o.O

Since the discussion has calmed down a bit, when are the results likely to be posted? Intrigued by this haha

Current Results;

Labour - 5
Conservatives - 3
Lib Dems - 0 (unsurprisingly given the forum demographic)
UKIP - 12
Green Party - 2
Scottish National Party - 0
British National Party - 0
Other - 6

Only 28 voters so far - I was hoping for about 50, but there we go! Would be interested to know if any of the recent UKIP votes have been influenced by certain recent events - no I am not calling the party racist, before anyone says so - but I would have thought it is an excellent time for UKIP to put across its views on immigration!

As I said, no surprise about Lib Dems getting no votes, somewhat surprised by Labour getting 5, not surprised by the Conservatives getting only 3 - again, largely due to the demographic of the forum. The fact two people have voted Green doesn't surprise me, unfortunately.

Putting these results into the Electoral Calculus tool (which is completely wrong in this circumstance by the way, owing to the fact that the results from 2010 are completely different to today and it only allows four parties ).... just for fun, if this were replicated in a General Election by percentage of votes then a Habbox Forum-returned Parliament would look something like this;

UKIP - 42.8% - 527 seats
LAB - 17.8% - 85 seats
CON - 10.7% - 0 seats
LDEM - 0% - 0 seats
OTHERS (including Greens) - 28.5% - 10 seats

...meaning Mr. Farage would walk into Downing Street with a huge majority.

Here's the Electoral Calculus tool if anybody wants to play around with it; http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html Interesting tool for anybody wanting to work out how a FPTP voting system works/can suddenly change aswell at 'tipping points'.

Aha, that is actually pretty cool :L

Cheers for the link too, very interesting.

I'll be voting Conservative. Labour fill me with no confidence and have never really appealed to me and after the whole student thing I won't be voting Lib Dem any time soon.

In all honesty I don't really know much about UKIP other than they've had a recent surge in popularity and that they have strong views on the EU, I should probably do a little bit of research into them.
