who will you be voting for tomorrow (uk elections)?

Question

If you dont want to say then you dont have to answer. I will be voting for the conservative party, though I am tempted to vote for UKIP. And also if you want to answer, why are you voting for them?

Answer 1

My borough isn't having elections this year... but I would have to weigh up between Liberal Democrats and the Green Party. Liberal Democrats because I'm politically well aligned to them, but Greens as a protest vote in a sense... I really want more emphasis on renewable energy in politics! We seem to only hear people like Nadine Dorries moaning about wind turbines as part of a 'constructive' debate.



And in regards to Paul... why answer a politics question by saying yo have no interest in politics. Is someone after free points?

Answer 2

I really haven't a clue. In my constituency, the only contenders are the Tories and the Liberal Democrats. The Greens put up a reasonable show, so does UKIP. Very little from Labour, BNP or an assortment of Independents. I still have some hopes for the Coalition, but despair that they have the power or political will to tackle the real issues, rather than just kicking the usual scapegoats, such as the unemployed, and leaving alone the Free Market fraudsters and the empire-building box tickers. I am still waiting for Income Tax to be put up to 25% and 50% until the deficit is right down, Council Tax to be dropped in half, and a whole swathe of quality management consultants and equality statisticians sacked, and the money given to ease the cash flow of small businesses and ethical farmers. Also, interest rates to be set at inflation+growth by default, which is currently about 4%, not 0.5%. Oh, and a 90% tax on those earning more than the Prime Minister (including all bonus packages in kind), unless they can show they invest their money on things that benefit society. Like the Queen's Civil List, but applying to all multi-millionaires. They keep their privileges if they can show they have earned them by their good works. I would need to look at the quality of the candidates on offer. My personal inclination is to go for an Independent if he or she is any good, then the Green (because the candidate that usually stands here is a good egg even if he is not a very successful politician) and then anyone else of any party who is rather better than lobby fodder. I don't expect my vote would make a ha'pworth of difference either to the result or to the way the nation and the world is run. Increasingly that is being put in the lap of mega-millionaires who can buy influence to award themselves an ever bigger share of the shrinking cake.

Answer 3

It will be Conservative for me because the local candidate is very good. I want the best people in my area rather than registering a protest vote.



What's the point of UKIP now that the Conservatives have promised a vote on Europe if they win the next election?

Answer 4

Labour,they are better for my local area than the others and actually knocked on my door and spoke to me taking on any criticism i had,the conservatives shoved a leaflet through the door thanking me for showing them my courtesy on their recent visits which is odd because there have been no visits and my neighbours agree so i didn't just miss it!



Anyway i had a look at the leaflet,they are offering nothing of any use and have really gone to town devoting the back page of the flyer to criticising the UKIP and telling us not to vote for them and why,no sorry if you want my vote you tell me why you are the better party,do not dictate that i must not vote for another,it's all the lousy conservatives can do,criticise others to gain votes instead of actually showing something positive worth voting for.



The other parties have not even offered so much as a leaflet though so stuff them,i will vote labour.

Answer 5

Well done Paul. At least you are exercising your democratic vote, even if it is to spoil your paper otherwise called 'none of the above'.



Everybody should go to the Polling Station, even if it is to do what Paul is doing, just to stop the Political Class taking the voters for granted.



If UKIP do well, then the Political 'elite' of all parties will have to take notice before the next General Election, and maybe respond to what the people want rather than what the champagne set of millionaire ex-Etonians and champagne millionaire socialists decide is right for the plebs. You know, that quaint old thing called Democracy, the rule of the people.



I don't care how people vote, I just want them at the ballot box using their vote, even if it is to spoil the paper.

Answer 6

We're not having elections here in London - we do ours at a separate time - just don't ask why, because when it comes to a General Election the entire country votes on the same day.



Whoever you vote for, good luck.



Pay no attention to the polls - unless of course you are going to put a bet on.

The best way of finding out who is going to win, is to check the betting odds. The bookies don't like to lose.

Answer 7

Don't forget to vote UKIP on Thursday 2nd May. It is vital to this country.

Answer 8

I'm voting for UKIP. If nothing else, it makes the conservative party reconsider some of their policies.

Answer 9

I have no idea. Probably I'll just spoil the ballot again. All the mainstream parties are basically clones of each other, each as dishonest and self serving as the next. Nobody is in it for the country when they could be in it for themselves. And the outlying parties, on both sides, are just a bit mental.



I lost faith in politics long ago. Screw the lot of them.

Answer 10

The Torys have promised a referendum on the EU regime some1 says.

Yeah and I'm teapot.

Wake up people.

Answer 11

UKIP all the way if you want to save the UK!

Answer 12

i'm gonna vote like 5 times
