The politics/election thread

[dest]

With the election now set for 6th May, Im sure this subject will no doubt generate plenty of opinions and views over the next month...

Personally, I will not be voting for Labour, I never have and never will.
They have been promising things for far too long, so why should we beleive they will start to deliver now?

Please vote in the poll, it is anonymous
(Listed in alphabetical order, not of my preferance lol)

Do you need to be 18 to vote,,

Daleks; if they will put this into practice for government officials



In all seriousness not a clue, I can't say I am enamored with any of them, however if I don't vote then I am not helping change anything.

I agree, they are all full of **** and cannot be trusted!

[s2driveruk]

couldn't be more disinterested if i tried. They are all there for ego boosting and filling their own pockets and to be honest the differentials between lab/con is so small its down to personalities and neither parties have any.

Whatever the outcome, i will take home less as apparently WE all got in this mess together so we have to bail everyone out again with increased taxes.

Its a shocker...actually, if i see an MP in the coming few weeks and they are in egging distance i could be tempted. I watched the news this morning and in 20 minutes I heard the word 'choice' about 20 times. The only choice we have is which set of c88kcs to elect to screw us over for another term.

Rant over

we need a poll option to 'Spoil ballot paper'...

[dest]

Im sure a moderator can add that option to the poll!

[s2driveruk]

forgot we had the power to do that these days, used to be reserved for those will specific edit options ticked

So if you spoil the paper, you are pretty much saying you are happy with Labour?

[Colesy]

The leaders of the two main party's are unfortunately lightweights but as I see it you vote for an ideology and I'll be voting on that basis.

New Labour got into power based on their claim that they were a party for the middle classes but IMO we can all see now that they were following old Labour's socialist doctrine...

[upliftin]

It does not matter who we vote for the same agenda will still unfold which is to enslave us all in debt and slavery.

Oh and while people are out and about seeing these political leaders spout their crap, maybe some people should ask questions why the Holie Grieg case of rape by the scotish establishment is being covered up!

I will certainly be asking these leaders why peadophiles in top government jobs are getting away with it. Sorry to spoil the thread but it is very important this

Anyway back to the evil elite running the show....first get rid of Brown, then we will see what happens....if its the same *****$, then we the people must march together and oust these sick puppets.

Great thread.

Hardly matters these days as European parliament etc seem to have more say on what we do, cannot do than anyone else, especially if you involve the human rights act and immigrant claims etc....

[s2driveruk]

So if you spoil the paper, you are pretty much saying you are happy with Labour?

i could choose either and see no material change, spoiling the paper doesn't cast a vote for either and demonstrates my apathy with the options and the people behind them

[Error404]

Unfortunately they are all the same breed of theiving scumbag - the way I see it is that only the Torys have any chance of unseating Komrade Brown, so even though they are thorough a55holes themselves they can be the only option to vote for to even have the faintest hope anything will change in the next 5 years

[Fat Audi 80]

I have no idea. I can't bring myself to vote for either of the main two parties. The Liberals don't have enough clout or experience, and that leaves the BNP, Greens or Raving Lord Such and his bunch.

No choice at all is it?

People will end up voting selfishly for whomever will give them the best deal in terms of Tax, benefits or ideology.

Personally I would like to see a completely new party made up of MP's that are qualified in whatever office of government they eventually get into, and then some organisations and systems that do not completely rely on self reporting and statistics to justify themselves, that actually get the job done!

We could call it the "Common Sense" party, but that will never happen will it?...

It will be 5h1te whoever gets in now....

[s2driveruk]

i tend to agree Steve....though ideology has been mentioned twice in this thread. To be honest, I don't think i have seen either major party confirm any ideology or one which they could actually deliver in terms of policy, timescale or budget.

I struggle to see anything which motivates me to be law abiding, hard working, conciencious or heathly. All that seems to happen is if i am all of those things, i end up having to supplement those who cant be bothered to be.

think i am the typical disillusioned detached voter
