Who you gonna vote for?

[CaNsA]

Now I'm 30 it's time for me to vote.
I haven't bothered over the past12 years cos i couldn't be arsed.

There is alot of choice, and i haven't got a clue.

So then boys and girls of BCF, who are you voting for and why?

Cheers

[The Shaggy D.A.]

I'm not voting.

It's like having three blokes knock at your door and asking "which one of us would you like to rob you, rape your cat and enslave your children?".

Does turning up, going into the voting booth, squeezing shit out of my arse, smearing it around the booth and using the ballot paper to wipe with count as voting?

If not, then I am not voting this year.

I'd prefer to vote UKIP but want Labour out so will vote Tory this time round.

I have voted for all 3 of the main parties in the past. But this time round I want a change of government, so I will be voting conservative.

Where I live labour has a very small majority, not much more than 1000. So it will be a key seat.

To be fair to labour in the past Tony Blair came and went to our local chippy and got a bag of chips, they still have his picture on the wall.

The 10% Tax rate fiasco, the selling of gold at rock bottom prices, Northern Rock scandal (i.e. why not just say at the beginning you will guarantee all bank deposits), the massive devaluation of sterling (i have relatives abroad). Are just some of the reasons I want them out.

If you want Labour out, why do you have to vote Conservative? Surely voting one party just to get rid of another is a bad idea?

[Hetzer]

Vote? In this sham of a democracy? I'll vote when my vote counts for something (proportional representation). Until then I'll not waste my time.

Have any of them mentioned anything about motorcycling? I'd be willing to vote for the party that seems the least anti-biking. I realise it's not likely to be high on their priority lists but maybe some party members have made comments about bike-related issues in the past year or so.

[Hetzer]

By voting, for anyone, you actively condone a rotten, corrupt and criminally fraudulent system.

By not voting you condemn it. And rightfully so. Make your voice heard by NOT voting. Because BY voting you throw your voice into the wind.

Well I've just done some research into First Past The Post and it seems I had the wrong end of the stick. I always thought that a vote for a party was a vote for them - not one that was completely ignored if another party gets more votes. What a crock.

Still, I'm going to vote for one of the non-top-three, as I couldn't bring myself to vote for any of the main three even if I just wanted another out.

Being in Scotland gives a unique opportunity to take a poke at all the main parties, probably similar in Wales too.

I'm not overly keen on independance, I think the SNP are a shower of nannying newspaper headline chasing knee jerk politicians for the most part, but in voting for them in the UK election it sends a pretty clear message about how the UK parliament is regarded.

So thats what I'll be doing. Imagine if the SNP take a good majority of Scottish UK parliament seats and GB/Labour manage to cling on to power. His position and that of all the other Scottish MP's with cabinet positions will become decidedly awkward, it'll great fun to watch too.

As it is, where I live at the moment, us tenants are not declared...so we don't exist on the electoral role. So I have no voting rights even if I wanted to vote.

No the point of proportional representation IS minority government, with minority government the government is effectively crippled and unable to do anything.

And therefore unable to bring in stupid new laws and ill thought out suggestions like SORN and having microchips put in people from birth or having your DNA taken at birth (I can't remember if labour got that policy through were they took all babies DNA).


The markets don't like it though which is why the £ is going into freefall.
