Political i know, but who will you be voting for?
Posted by batesie
PK you know this will start a heated debate and we will all end up falling out...
3 things we'll all never agree on, Polotics, religion, football
Posted by PeterKay
Just curious, not really a heated debate
Posted by slattery69
i shall vote the same way ive always done and that will be for myself. i have no faith in any of the parties so will once again add my name to the ballot and put a cross next to it.
i wish they would but an option for none of the above but i have a feeling that that would win many an election
Posted by PeterKay
Fair point.
Posted by absinthebri
PK, why don't you start off by telling up who you voted for (or intend to vote for).
Posted by PeterKay
Not decided yet, just wanted to know what fellow members think.

I cast my vote in earlier this morning,and i am proud to say i voted for the Liberal Democrats.
Even though i know they don't stand a very good chance in winning but i don't think their is any other party out their thats worth voting for!
Labour's lost the Plot,Conservatives are just a bunch of facists as they have always been.So the only alternative are the liberal's.
Posted by PeterKay
70% of me says Liberal, 15% each between Lab And Con.
Posted by axxxr
Well go with majority of what you think is right.Liberals are the better option at the moment.

Labour - much rather an intelligent Bush-sympathiser who knows which side his bread is buttered, than a pisshead who doesn't know his own policies, or an idiot whose campaign is even more negative than his predecessors and whose sums don't add up.
Vote for Blair, as the only man capable of governing the country competently, whatever you may think of him personally, or his decision to go to war in Iraq. People should be more damned concerned about what would happen to this country under a new regime!
Posted by axxxr
Its precisely because he sided with bush in going into an illegle war,that cost 100,000 innocent iraqi lives that blair cannot be ever trusted again.He has been proven to have lied over iraq so if he can lie over they war,what else has been lieing about?He simply cannot be trusted again.He needs to be voted out by tomorrow.
Its been 50 years since the liberals formed the last govt,i think both Labour and the Conservatives have had their chance,its time liberals were given a chance to show what they can do,lets face it they can't be any worse than the conservatives.

Only two things to add really, as I read earlier that this thread was not intended to be a debate:
1. Anyone who believes that the British public have the opportunity to vote for a PM who won't lie, is laughably naive and should not be voting at all.
2. If you vote Lib Dem, you are effectively voting Tory. If you want to vote Tory, fair enough, but why not just do it, instead of all this immature protest-vote crap. Unless of course, you believe that Charles Kennedy hass a hope in hell of waking up tomorrow morning as Prime Minister, in which case I would suggest self-institutionalisation immediately!

i have decided to vote for the liberal democrats
there the only ones who i understand really, politics kind of goes over my head
but everything that i have heard charles kennedy say makes perfect sense to me
i shall never ever vote conservative there the ones who made the country a mess, i think labour have done a good job in certain areas but its time for a change
i doubt the liberal democrats will win, but heres hoping

I agree that we should'nt really debate over this issue,too much has been said in the media in the last 6 months or so already.
I am not suggesting that other political leaders don't lie,but this one particular lie over the war has made this country a laughing stock in the world.not to mention the lives of thousands of innocent people and soilders involved.Someone has to be held accountable and that person is Tony blair.
No one for a second is suggesting that we will see Charles Kennedy as PM tomorrow,im just saying that the other parties don't deserve a vote.If everyone votes for labour thinking that the liberals will never get in then whats the point of the whole system.In this case i would recommend self institutionalisation to whomever thinks that just vote labour to keep the tories out!
Posted by batesie
if everyone that considered voting Liberal democrats did, they would win apparently...
Posted by haynesycop
alot of people i have spoken too have said they are going to vote liberal democrats
so maybe they have got a really good chance
who know's?
Posted by axxxr
Most of the people i know aswell are all voting Liberal so i don't know what all the fuss is about!
Posted by dave_uk
Everyone should vote for whoever they choose - but I don't believe most people are prepared to waste their vote. I'm sure what Batesie says is true, but the question is why do people want to vote Lib Dem. Is it because, as miss copperfield suggests that Charles Kennedy is the only one actually talking sense (I don't think so!) or more likely because they are disillusioned with the other parties and are voting for change and not a political party?
Ah, never mind. There'll still be a Labour Government tomorrow.
Over and out
Posted by absinthebri
I voted Green (as I have done for over 20 years). Had there been no Green candidate I would have voted LibDem (despite their treatment of Dr. Tonge).
Posted by batesie
I like the green party, but theres not a local green party counciller in my constituancy.
Posted by PeterKay
I'm gonna vote leberal too.
as mentioned above, they wont win but better than voting for the other two.

Thats right charles kennedy is making sense,more sense than blair and howard.If you look closer at liberal policys you will find that their policys make sense and are direct and honest,no bull like with the other two.
Well if labour win or not we shall all know by tomorrow,Don't be so sure!...lets hope though by some miracle the Libdems win and then the ones who will be out will be bush lover blair!
I've said my peace...so lets see who peterkay votes for now?....I'm sure he said he's 70% liberals!
Posted by PeterKay
Liberal it is buddy.
Posted by haynesycop
i just got back from the polling station, voted liberal democrats
it is very confusing, but i think i made the right choice
i guess we will know in the morning
Posted by absinthebri
A little aside: did you know there is one GB constituency where neither the Conservatives and LibDems are opposing the sitting Labour MP?
Posted by axxxr
Well done guys....Lets wish the liberals the best of luck!They may not win tomorrow but at least they will win more seats in parliment.
Posted by PeterKay
True.
Posted by dave_uk
Congratulations to Tony Blair and the Labour Party. An historic third term won by what is still a convincing majority (although lower than their enormous previous one).
Just goes to show that negative campaigning doesn't win elections, and that the people of Great Britain have voted on the real issues, not purely on the massively-overhyped significance of the Iraq War!
Four more years of economic prosperity and investment in public services
Posted by DJcreamz
I worked in a polling station all day it was tuff 6.00am - 10.30pm but i voted Lib Dem national and district
.
turn out was poor out of just over 1150 on my registered list onlyt 462 people turned up
Posted by axxxr
Yep congratulations to Tony for winning,but like the papers have said the voters gave him a bloody nose...and Tony has said he we will listen now more to the public than before so he has learnt a lesson from all this.Well i hope that he has,because after all he does have the blood of thousands of dead people on his hands.so here we go 4 more years of bush ass licking from tony.
At least we had a good result in london with George Galloway winning for the Respect party!...I nearlly voted for them but did'nt think were strong enough to win so that was a good result for them..well done to them!
Posted by Kwiksta
no one get angry with me when i say this, but i think tony blair is a puppet!
Posted by axxxr
Oh yeh did'nt you know..bush has his arm up his a** making his movements!
Four more years of puppeteering for bush!...tony might need some oiling!

Yes and my constuancy was labour and is now Conservative, thank god, because the labour counciller backed the war.
Posted by scotsboyuk
I voted Liberal this time, more because the Tories had little chance of winning in my constituency, which was redrawn. I would have preferred to vote Tory, but I knew that it would have been a wasted vote here and I would vote for just about anyone apart from Labour (except the BNP or socialists). I also grew rather tired of the Tories going on about immigration, it was something of a non-issue for me. I also prefer the Lib's policies on the environment, transport and the constitution, although this is perhaps because they are similar to Tory policies.
If the Tories are indeed recovering and manage to get themselves into an electable state for the next election then my vote shall once again be turning blue.
