As per the title really, I did try to add other parties but the forum limits the number of options.

I will vote tactically in my constituency to get any party into power to shift the balance away from the major parties.

Until 50% of parliament is made up of smaller parties, you can expect more of the same.

If by now you have not made your mind up on what has happened in the past. But going to place your vote on what is said over the next six month's or so. Knowing that they will all be lying through there Azz. No wonder the country is in the state it's in.

I will vote for who is best for my constituency, not necessarily who's party I want in power.

MP's have very little influence on their constituencies. They may make grand speeches in Parliament that get them column space in their constituency shitsheet but in real life their affect on local policies is negligible.
Local Councillors (who, incidentally, I'd like to see abolished) are the only one's that have absolute control over local events.

I generally am ok-ish with conservative policies.

Then when I generally like them, they come out with something like:

Quote:
In extremis, it has been possible to read someone’s letter, to listen to someone’s call, to mobile communications … The question remains: are we going to allow a means of communications where it simply is not possible to do that? My answer to that question is: no, we must not. The first duty of any government is to keep our country and our people safe.”


and they are just as bad as everyone else.

There's no such thing as a right-wing libertarian party in the UK, (even if there was, let's not pretend they would get any votes), so any voting (with my whole 0.226 of a vote Laughing ) is simply for who I see as the least-worst rather than any form of representation.

This is exactly why the definition of "idiots" prohibited from voting should be extended to those who can't pass a very simple test showing that they have some comprehension of the remit of various levels of government.

Thing is, if you do understand it, you'd probably be even less likely to bother voting.

Well, I put UKIP in the poll as I won't get that option in my ballot. Even the tories only put up a candidate for form's sake.

UKIP. I want out of the EU and I don't believe the Tories will keep their promise to have a referendum on it.

5 different MPs from 3 different parties were approached by several collective groups of constituents with an issue that needed addressing and only 2 (both from the same party) raised the issue and actually got something done about it. One of them was my MP, and one of the constituents in the "class action" grievance of sorts

And the winners, (as of now, see post date and time), "UKIP" with "NONE OF THE ABOVE" coming a close second!

LOL!

I've put UKIP as to be honest they seem the only party with half a chance who will make enough changes in the right direction, the big 3 are all the same in many ways

UKIP, SNP, BNP all represent nationalist scum.


UKIP and BNP are actually pretty massively different once you get away from the immigration policies. BNP are pretty much greens who don't like johnny furrnurr

Seeing as they are all lying, corrupt, right wing bastards imo, I'll not be bothering to vote.

In fact, I wouldn't even pi$$ on any of them if they were on fire.

Dismayed at how many votes there are for Nigels party though.

SNP are fairly old school Trotskyites, move up here.

Why, specifically? Based on their actual policies.
