After the Debate last night, Gotta say Lib Dems.

Would neve vote for David Cameron no matter how good his policies were, he comes across worse than a salesman from the LBM sales school.
what a male chicken....

i've chose conservative as i didn't think lib dems had a chance due to amount of seats they'd need.

Certainly don't want a hung parliament so they can really screw us.

Certainly don't want brown with all his promises - none of which he's done in the last 13 years.

So conservative only real option, unless lib dems do stand a chance.

I voted Labour as it makes no difference who is in power.

David Cameron looks so cheap and tacky, staging photos, pretending to be everyones best friend.

Lib Dems will never get in.

Labour as i lurvvvvvve Tony Blair.

16-04-10, 14:04
Lib Dems wont get in unless those that say would like lib dems in power ACTUALLY vote lib dems.

not voting them and voting the next worse is like not voting.

And I've decided after last night I HATE DAVID CAMERON so i will NEVER vot Torries whilst he's at the helm for them.

I'm completely stuck by this... I've done a few of those "who should I vote for" things, and 3 out of 4 times its come up with UKIP followed by Lib Dem. Always...

However, I don't know enough about UKIP to vote for them, I think.. They seem to have some good policies, but then there are some others which I'm totally not sure about..

Either way, I expect whoever I vote for to be exactly like every other politician and not stick to what they say, cost me extra money and give themselves a tax free pay rise.. I'll still vote for someone though...

I will be voting Lib Dem.

The tories have the seat in my area and have done forever!!
The Lib dems almost beat them at the last election
Labour is a wasted vote where i live, as they've always been way behind the other 2 parties.

Can't stand Cameron, so Lib Dems all the way for me, think its time for someone else to have a go!!

17-04-10, 10:01
Doesn't matter who I vote for here, as my Constituemcy is Witney, traditionally Tory and David "piggy-eyes" Cameron is my (lousy) MP, so it'll be a walk-over for him. I've voted Labour for the past 20 years, and will do so again once Brown is kicked-out, but my vote this time will be a protest vote, so I'm going to vote for Count Nicolai Tolstoy, who is standing as UKIP. I don't subscribe to many of their policies, but it will be purely a protest vote.
I'm hoping for a hung Parliament this time. Teach Brown and Cameron a lesson, and all those other cheating, theiving, dishonest MP's as well, hopefully.

If you're gona vote Lib Dems then why bother voting at all?
They ain't got a hope of winning and will end up siding with which ever one of the real partys wins the most votes just to make a workable government
If the people who voted for Lib Dems never voted at all the result would be exactly the same!

It depends where you are.

The Tories have always had the seat in my constituency.
Last time the Lib Dems came a close second and Labour were a long way behind.

Now i don't want the tories to win, would rather have anyone else, so as the Lib Dems are the only ones close to the tories here, i'd vote for them,
hopefully meaning a lost seat for the blues.

Voting Labour would be a waste of time beecause they have no chance of getting in down here.

Anybody with whom the fat b*stard currently in charge (who no-one voted for) is not connected with


while we have the same voting system, it will never be a case of voting for one party, because a party can physically get a LOT less votes nationwide, yet still hold a majority seating difference

PeterStoba
17-04-10, 23:49
Wait, so your saying it's not worth voting for somebody as they won't win anyway? Isn't that the idea of voting for who you want to win?

Gunslinger
18-04-10, 00:02
it's based on number of seats, some areas can have much larger populations, yet only count as say one seat in government... i dont fully understand it, but you should vote, regardless of whether your not convinced by any of them, some voice is better than no voice

info in link below they talk of "whoever polls the most votes wins the election" then go on to say "For a political party in the UK to form a Government they need an overall majority. This means that the ruling party needs to have more members of Parliament or more councillors than all the other parties put together" :confused: ... so it's back to regional voting to gain the seats

18-04-10, 09:46
If we had proportional representation (where the number of votes for a party over the whole country was turned into the number of seats that party got in the house of commons) then I can see the point of voting for the Lib Dems.
The way the system is rigged towards the big 2 parties then I can't see the point in anyone voting except for either Tory or Labour.
As I don't want an eton educated toff in charge of the country then I'll vote Labour

Lib Dems for me. I was going to Vote the Cameron crew but as time has gone by I realise I am not a fan of him.

Im going to be a Tory boy cos Willie Hague is my MP and I think he is funny on telly. Policy wise I dont think the lib dem changes to the voting system is a good idea and if they did win that would be the biggest single thing to go through. As for Labour, they've had their time and are running out of steam, some years not being in power might give them a chance to sort themselves out.

Based on this from BBC news, conservatives are the only real choice to get Brown out

"
When the results of the ComRes poll of 1,006 people - conducted on 16 and 17 April - were fed into the BBC's Commons seat calculator, it showed Labour would still have the most seats with 279, the Conservatives 239, the Lib Dems 103 and others 29."

I'm 14 but I'm quite into this topic.

If I could vote, I'd vote Lib Dem.

Why? Because Labour spend all our money and I hate conservatives policies almost as much as I hate David Cameron.

I heard somewhere that David Cameron walked into a bread factory and said to the MD "I have a bread machine at home." I'm not sure about you but that reminds me of something along the lines of: I walked into the Aria store and said to the man at the counter. I just bought a whole PC from ****."

My parents have always voted Lib Dem as will I.

Lib Dem are NOT a wasted vote!

If everyone who WATNED to vote Lib Dem did, they'd be into power no problem. Just vote them in and let them change the way voting works. The current 'swing' system is awful.

But depending on where you live, it is. And if everyone voted for the MRLP they would get it - and do you really think the LD's would change to PR when if they were to win on FPTP, why do you think Lab/Tory haven't and only moan about the system when they lose seats ;) I'd idgnore all this BS about the government holding a referendum on a AV(+) system as well as the result won't be legally binding.

An excellent reason why you can't vote at 14.

1. All governments will "spend all our money", that's what they tax us for. Someone has to pay for our health system, the defence of the country, our schools and universities etc. etc. etc. The Lib Dems would do exactly the same, as would the Tories. Where would you find the money to pay for everything we take for granted at the moment?

2. "My parents have always voted Lib Dem as will I" is not a reason for voting Lib Dem, or any other party, come to that. My parents always voted Tory, no reason for me to do the same. Blindly sticking to the same old hacks is part of the reason we're in the mess we're in.

3. If everyone who wanted to vote Labour, Tory or Lib Dem (or UKIP, BNP etc.etc.) actually did so nothing would change... we certainly wouldn't get a Lib Dem government.

There's a very good case for us adopting the Australian system wher everyone of voting age is compelled by law to vote. That would be a start, although almost impossible to police, at least in the UK. Personally I'd like to see an extra box on every voting slip which offered the extra choice of "None of the above" I could tick if I didn't want to vote for any of the established parties... at the moment the only way of acheiving this is to vote for a complete outsider (like UKIP, in the case of my constituency of Witney) or spoiling the ballot paper, which is a bit pointless.

As for the Lib Dems, as with all of the parties, there are only two reasons for voting for them; if you believe they have the best policies, or if a tactical vote for them would stop another party you dislike from achieving power. At the moment it seems people are supporting them not because of their policies, but because David Clegg comes across as a better bloke than either David Cameron or Gordon Brown... noty exactly a very good reason.

19-04-10, 10:13
or spoiling the ballot paper, which is a bit pointless.

Actually in the UK, unlike most countries, spoiled ballot papers ARE counted, and as such doing so is effectively the same as checking a 'none of the above' box.

andyn
19-04-10, 10:42
I think that basically any ballot paper which is not filled in correctly is considered spoiled. So, not writing anything, voting for all of the candidates, drawing a big moustache, writing "I don't trust any of these lying, powerhungry, expense-leeching scumbags" etc etc.

alexnifty

No dealers for a start. I could be able to buy cannabis in a shop, walk home and have a nice casual smoke. Its only because its illegal that there are dealers, and people sit in there homes afraid of smoking a bit of cannabis. If we could freely walk the street smoking it, or even just at bars it would be great.

I wont go on but there are lots of reasons why it makes a great deal of sense to legalize it.

But until then, i guess i'll just go out and get drunk, cause some trouble, drive home drunk. You know, cos that perfectly acceptable, right?

I mean, its not like i smoke a load a weed, get really aggressive and start fights with people.

Personally I have been saying for 40 years now the one thing wrong with politics is the party system itself. We go to all that trouble to choose and then vote for someone to go represent our area in parliament and what do they do when they get there for the area?
They all have the same priority path for what they do and say and that is:-
1 look after themselves first and line their pockets.

2 they stick to what their political party tells them to do and seldom think for themselves.

3 if there is no clash of policy between themselves, their party bosses and the local concern the local concern can be considered.

The best politician in parliament is the one in a bronze overcoat stood outside warts and all the rest all want sweeping away really, but then cleggies gang have been sat on the sidelines for too long now too.
Do we really want to go for a whole century watching the ping pong game between tory and labour dragging the countries stability one way then back the other every time I think not.

The labour party is credited for setting up the welfare state but they actually only progressed it from what the liberals set up years before, it was a liberal government that made it a right for every retired person to have a weekly pension and ended the days of old folk going to live in the workhouse when their savings were all gone.

If everyone thinks Lib Dems won't get in and not vote, thats a silly mentality to have about it. People need to put a bit more faith in them and vote them in. No matter who we vote, we won;t see changes happen for a good 5 years or so and whoever is in power then will get the credit for it - sad i know.

Either way, i'm voting Lib Dems. Go out there and vote for them. Imagine how many people are sasying the same thing, "oh they won't get it so i won't bother and vote either one of the usual two". Bloody do it!

If everyone thinks Lib Dems won't get in and not vote, thats a silly mentality to have about it. People need to put a bit more faith in them and vote them in. No matter who we vote, we won;t see changes happen for a good 5 years or so and whoever is in power then will get the credit for it - sad i know.

Either way, i'm voting Lib Dems. Go out there and vote for them. Imagine how many people are sasying the same thing, "oh they won't get it so i won't bother and vote either one of the usual two". Bloody do it!
Agreed.
I've liked Lib dem since before I could vote.

What this country really needs is a second ballot if no party is outright winner only those polling 30% of votes going forward, it would be inconvenient but it would make alliances unnecessary. It would be similar to that P.R. they all keep on about without the confusion of the complicated ballot paper. The politicians know the way it works they elect their leaders by the same system.

We should also have a separate vote on who we prefer in number 10 regardless of our choice for MP.

Single white men have always gone right to the bottom of the housing list since housing lists began, it may not seem right but you cannot expect to get more points than a family or a young mum that just never happens. That policy has nothing to do with politics it is just priority of the most needy a single man is expected to be able to find somewhere to lay his head even if sleeping in his car or a mates floor.

Working in a primary school myself I would say that its a tad wrong to say that about the majority language.

However I did go to a secondary school where it was 50/50 between English and Pakistan's and after the second year you very rarely heard the Pakistan's speak English unless we was in a class.

Also when we got to choose the set language for our GCSE's we could have chosen Pakistani to learn.

Mainly the conservatives appear higher in opinion polls due to the UKIP leader telling his followers to vote conservative and the welsh nationalists want english constituancies to vote conservative so they get what they want themselves and stuff the english

Which party do the so called boundary commision work for they keep moving the boundaries every year to get more well off voters into marginal constituances is there any wonder the rest have such an uphill struggle. Promises promises always promises of tax givaways and threats of a squeeze on inheritances from the others the same old tory lines hardly a party of change.

It is a very sad fact that more than 50% of those who say they would vote Lib Dem will either vote for another party or not vote simply because they have been told by the conservatives and labour that a lib dem vote is a wasted vote, well if my mother votes tory and my dad votes labour they are wasted votes too as my mother would say I cancelled his vote with mine.

What I always say is if you would vote lib dem then vote lib dem dont waste the one chance you have of getting what you really want if eveyone who wants lib dem votes libdem it can happen. Nationally they are front runners so the only reason they are not already in power is hessitancy on our part.
