If the General Election was tomorrow...
« on: 22 February 2010, 22:33:40 »
Who will you vote for?

I guess our forum has a reasonable cross-section of the UK public, so I thought it would be interesting to hold a weekly poll until the real election takes place. That means you can change your vote in each week's poll, if you so desire. I trust I have all main parties, and I have added a "None of the above" for anyone who will not be voting.

If the admins do not agree with this poll, please feel free to delete it.

I've set a 7-day time limit on this first one, so let's go! :y

NOTA.....

.....if only there was such an option; 'they' (all) might get an understanding of how little regard/trust/faith we have for politicians and government. :'(

I`ve never met a prospective politician yet, who was suitably/adequately qualified for the job they seek to hold.....and anyway, voting for them only encourages them! ;D

That's a very important point, Debs, and precisely the reason I put NOTA in. Indeed, I think there is much to be said for NOTA being on the ballot papers and in the event that NOTA has the highest vote there would need to be a further election (after the parties have digested the implications of such a vote).

I agree that the disconnect between the mainstream parties and the electorate has become very worrying indeed. I have made it plain on here where my support lies and one of the reasons for my change of allegiance is precisely this point.  :y

UKIP interesting - I reckon they will get some MPs if there are any decent people standing.

Here is currently Labour and he is useless, will probably go Conservative and the chap has actually done door to door - I have NEVER had any other parties do door to door.

The Cons PPC is a clever drop in - son of the Cons MP from the 70s and 80s and he was very popular

I dearly wish a Labour candidate would knock on  my door. ;) ::) ;D.........I really dont understand how anyone could vote for them unless they are living on benefits and aspire to remain that way for the rest of their days, or are a minority group with an agenda to push. :-/
I have been a "nota" for 20 years but am now voting UKIP on pretty much a single issue protest vote. Hoping that if the Tories do win they can be pulled back to the right where they belong. ;)

This is frightening... There seems to be a common theme of voting Conservative just to get rid of the "One eyed, Scottish Idiot"! :( :(

From what I've seen they are going to cost us even more! :o :o

I've probably lived through more General Elections than most of you, and I've observed that a Labour Govenment nearly always leaves the country in a mess.

They throw many at everything, and tax us to the hilt to pay for it, instead of getting to the root cause of problems.

But still people keep voting for them, just can't understand it.

I'll shut up, or I'll never stop.

True... But the current campaign doesn't look as promising as it could :-/ :-/

Mind you, whoever takes power is going to have a tough time turning things around from the current mess :( :(
