RIGHT, Britf*gs.
6th of May is close. This sh*t is tense like a motherf*cker. Unlike that sh*tty-ass US election, "who will win" is actually a question, not a statement. Those of you of age better be goddamn voting.
Those who aren't of age can pretend they are for the purposes of this thread.
Who ye votin'?
(foot note: Those of you voting Conservative, make yourself known so I can ridicule you.)

If I was old enough I'd vote Liberal.
Wait, what about you, Fade?

Conservatives is a definite no, Labour is the same old.
Liberals perhaps? I mean, Nick Clegg seems like a guy that isn't a complete moron. At least he hasn't shown to be a moron yet. I remember August 2007 that Cameron was hammering Brown and all the crap. He's a whiny bitch and I'm sick of it.

The Liberals are unlikely to win outright, but I'd accept a Liberal/Labour coalition. Just.

I'mma voting LibDems. Nick Clegg is the man. Not The Man, though, in the sense of "The Man's holding me down, nigga". That would be Mr. Cameron.
Pesimistic Addition:
And when the Conservatives get in, I'mma vote SNP.

Oh I was going to vote for the Pirate party but they're not in my constituency so I don't care. Also the conservatives are getting in here no matter what, I get no say! 8ddd
No but really I totally forgot to register until it was far too late - I would vote for Lib Dem, primarily for their policies on university fees, but eh. I don't really feel all that strongly toward many of my local candidates. I'd laugh if there were a con-lib coalition though, nothing would get done.
My thoughts on the people who I could have voted for here overall are:
Labour: Gordon Brown keeps screwing KIPPERS up (selling gold reserves cheaply, unnecessarily introducing bureaucracy into every facet of life, really authoritarian).
Conservatives: Will probably be as authoritarian as Labour, except whilst giving loads of tax breaks to the rich.
Lib dem: Pro small businesses and pro free education, which I support. But would they really know what they were doing economically speaking, or would they just try and hand as much power as possible over to Brussels?
UKIP: Backwards party with their head in the sand. They think that they'll just magically break us away from the EU whilst keeping all of the benefits of being a part of it (in terms of free trade agreements) with no repercussions. I was even reading that they want to bring the imperial system back.
Greens: Not got much of an opinion on them. I understand their main focus is on the climate, but I think Icelandic volcanoes do a better job at keeping us in check on that front.
Oh also even though they aren't running in my constituency, just for kicks:
BNP: HOMGZ 200MPH MAGLEV RAIL NETWORK FTW!111!!! That's obviously viable and affordable!

Has anyone actually read ANY of the BNP's policies in its manifesto? I skipped to education and first on the list was CORPORAL PUNISHMENT. A bit further down was compulsory national service after completing education. Jesus.

Well yeah of course we know they're a bunch of racists. It's just kind of funny that even when not talking about racial discrimination and immigration they're still a bunch of total loons. Their manifesto is a right laugh. It's packed full of propositions like wanting to build a country-wide 200MPH maglev rail network and giving different parts of the country different currencies (why?!). |

giving different parts of the country different currencies (why?!). and microeconomy, to promote the use of local businesses. That said, it's a pretty daft idea as regular money has to be used as well - as people need to buy things outside of the local area - hence most schemes have had problems with people simply not bothering once the novelty wears off, or taking notes as souvenirs. I think I'll have a quick look at the BNP manifesto. It sounds like a laugh. |

Back on my previous post, Libdems seem all good and that, but I'm worried they'll BLARGH up on inexperience... Or just manage to make a slight mistake that will affect me greatly.
I am definitely going to vote, to make a vote. The more young people that vote, the more parties will try to appeal to them in future.
