Voting

[Danny]

So is is voting today and for who?

I'm still reading up on how to vote.

[JimboJ]

Technically you aren't allowed to tell people who you're voting for

Out of: BNP, Conservatives, Labour and UKIP

Probably Conservatives because our local labour guy is a twat, the lib dems are left wing and generally don't have a grip on what they really want to do.

They are all equally crap?

No idea to be honest, don't get involved in polotics and not going to vote. Mostly because I can't be arsed and don't believe it'll make any difference anyway.

But it probably will make a difference, but whichever party you vote for, it'll be equally as bad so meh to it

All the politicians are bastards anyway, no matter who you vote for you'll never get what you want.

I'm going for the lesser of two evils and voting for Conservative.

Although I might change my mind after I have read a bit more on the candidates.

I'm not voting.

[Mr Pants!]

I am in two minds to vote as there does not seem to be anyone I want to vote for. If pushed, conservatives....

In London we've also got a vote for the Mayor from a rather dull choice of...

Lindsey German - Respect - The Unity Coalition
Ram Gidoomal - Christian Peoples Alliance - Ram Gidoomal
Simon Hughes - Liberal Democrats
darren Johnson - Green Party Candidate
Julian Leppert - British National Party
Ken livingstone - The Labour Party Candidate
Frank Maloney - UK Independence Party
Dr. Tammy Nagalingam
Steve Norris - Conservative Party - for a Safer London
lorna Reid - Independent Working Class Association

As none of them have committed themselves to allowing motorbikes in bus lanes I doubt any of them will be getting my vote. Can't help feeling that we're missing out on the real loony element that's been seen in the past. Where is the ex-porn star for instance?

So am i the only one who voted to day, sofar?

[carvell]

I try to keep on top of politics and stuff - and if I was born a few weeks earlier I'd be voting UKIP today.

As we live in a democracy (unlike billions of other people), it is the one chance we have to influence who governs us. People who don't vote then have no right to comment on any government policy that subsequently affects their life.

You do not have to 'like' any particular candidate or Political Party to vote, equally you can vote against a Party or candidate as you may not believe in their policies.

As a Londoner we get to vote for the mayoral candidate - there are a dozen or so candidates but it will be between Ken Livingstone (Labour) & Steve Norris (Conservative). Personally I like Ken but as he has been endorsed by Tony Blah who is the biggest bullshitter & the worst Prime Minister we have ever had I will not vote for him. If Ken loses to Norris (who personally I think is a boorish individual) then it will sound a death knell for Blair which will be a good thing for this country. I think Gordon Brown would make an excellent Prime Minster (except for his views on Europe).

On the EU front, a vote for either Labour or the LibDems means a federal Europe, with us eventually governed by the 'conservative' Socialists of Europe. We are already seeing the effects of EU policy with mindblowing beauracracy, Human rights legislation (which we follow to the letter - which is the British way) that results in prisoners suing Governments for loss of liberty, and control of our Courts. All these things are a dangerous precedents!

Unlike others in this thread I believe that politics is something everyone should pay some interest in as one day it might be too late to have any influence!

They haven't even sent us voting cards! Mind you after years of apathy I expect they've stopped bothering...
I reckon they're all the same to be honest, except the BNP types of course - I'd give myself a serious kicking for not voting if any of them got in!

[JimboJ]

Well the European elections system is proportional representation is it not, which means the BNP WILL most definitely get some seats.

TBH alot of people will protest vote this time against the labour government, whether or not they choose an extreme right wing party or not is another matter

Someone said they won't vote because it doesn't affect them, the european one mat not affect you much but your local council will !

Voting should be made compulsary like in Australia.
