Time for change?
Wasn't that BST which we did a few weeks back? I'm being sarcastic, but isn't this a truism that the greass is always greener on the other side?

[Lewis.]

I think that we need to stabilise a bit before dramatic change. I think that Gordon Brown is actually trying to sort things out and is indeed picking up after Tony Blaire's mess. Times are hard for the government so I'd rather see someone who has experience back for 4 of the most vital years in economic history.. rather than an in-experienced party. I think that once the economy is safe and sound and back on it's feet.. then we can start to think about changing everything.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Labour.

Better the devil you know and the Tory Toffs will screw this country right into the ground if they get in.

[King Gizzard]

Labour

Because I would not want to be ruled by a posh selfish tvvat

[Claymores]

I'll throw in my tuppenceworth (euro 50c).............Scottish Nationalist as I believe their policies more closely fit my beliefs about socialism than New Labour, and I also want to send the clear message that it's time for freedom.

[Shaun]

Worryingly, Lib Dem. It's either them, the Tories or UKIP in my constituency as they're the three closest to win...and I'd rather not contribute to David Cameron's inevitable victory. Oh and UKIP are just silly.

Normally I'm a Conservative but I can't stand Cameron.

[Shasown]

A vote for the conservative party would under the current system be wasted, so I will probably vote for the SNP. Not for their nationalist agenda, but because most of the rest of their policies make sense. Their ideas for an Independant Scotland though are laughable.

As we debated before on other thread, me and many Scots now believe we have little in common with the Country of England & Wales so feel it's time for the divorce. I know you disagree and will quote Unionist propaganda reports back at me.

To give some examples - if Labour squeek back ito power it will be because Scotland get them past the winning post. If the country of England & Wales massively elect a Tory government as I expect, it is so untenable having no MPs to staff the Scottish Office roles. Scotland would be a socialist country electing socialist MPs and a strong socialist regional Parliament run by a Tory English Government .

[BBDodge]

If the Tories were only left with 1 seat it would probably be the one where I live, so my vote won't change a thing.

I will vote Green, if they have a candidate, otherwise Lib Dem.

Not really true, if the polls are to be believed, the election result will end witha hung parliament, in which case Labour stay on in a caretaker role. However this means the balance of power will sit with the Lib Dems, in which case they could ask either party to implement proportional representation. This would mean that every vote for the Lib Dems would count.

Its pointless panicking people into voting for Labour whom you obviously adore. The truth will always come out Netto.

[BB_Eye]

I wasn't going to vote, but after the scandal with David Byers, I have decided that Labour CANNOT be allowed to survive another term, so... Lib Dem.

Labour.

Any chance of me voting Conservative went out the window after the B&B argument.

[Jack_]

I've decided I'm going to get into this Election, so I'll be following the campaigns and the like. I've always liked the Lib Dems though, and after overviewing their manifesto, I'm liking what they have to offer. I can't vote though, unfortunately.

[Rob]

conservatives because its time for change!

[AndyJK]

Conservative.

I am sick and tired of Gordon Brown, New Labour and the way they have governed the country. Blair was untried and given a chance in 1997, and after 13 years of Labour rule I think Cameron deserves a chance.

As for toffs, Boris Johnson is a toff, went to the same school as Cameron and from what I hear he isn't doing a bad job as Mayor of London. All this class war is a load of bollocks anyway.

The way I see it is that the reason that so many of these elections end up being a two horse race is because so many people believe it is a two horse race. Everyone thinks that they have no choice other than the two leading parties when it just isn't true.

I know Nick Clegg is boring and looks like some PC World employee, but the alternative is much worse.

The reason why i dont trust the others, to me after watching the debate last night he came across as more honest than the other two, & we havn't had a LD goverment for a long long time.

No I would rather for the hard working Dr's, nurses, teachers, police, armed forces, social services, fire services etc....people who contribute an essential service to society and are struggling! How anyone can consider tax breaks for those that dont need it in the current economic climate its beyond me! Especially when the people at the very top are often earning undeserved and disproportionate amounts of money to the rest of us! ie/ bankers

No its not end of really is it? yes they work hard and provide jobs but a lot of them get too greedy, particularly in this country where the rich poor gap is getting more and more obscene compared to other countries in Europe (that do just fine), they arent entitled to take the piss the way they have and in the current economic climate why should the small minority that arent suffering get breaks at the expense of the rest of us (hardworking) majority who are suffering

No not envy more an overwhelming sense of injustice (I am far from alone in feeling) I'll compile a list for you at some point if thats what you want, I have no problem with those that work hard and make a shed load ie/ Alan Sugar and such like (also funny isnt it how the self made millonaires such as Alan Sugar, Ducan Banatyne are pro labour and the lords and the trust foundies are Tory)...Bankers on huge bonus's/pensions that nowhere near reflect what theyve given in will be at the top. The greedy who are on far more than they deserve to be on, people who have come into money from birth and do feck all for it, people who make money here and dont even pay tax here aswell!!

[NettoSuperstar!]

Not to mention a lot of people who have been enabled to become successful because of the privilege and wealth they were born into. There are far more ordinary hard working people dedicated to a vocation than there are extremely rich "successful" people

Lol...come on your a bright boy...anyone but Tory is the correct decision!

To be honest I keep changing my mind. In my constituency the only two really viable candidates are Conservative and Lib Dem (they're very close; Lib Dem currently hold the seat).

I can see why everyone finds the Lib Dems appealing - they're an alternative to the current two. But they always have been - and it's very easy to appear 'different' if different is all you've ever been - and all you've ever been for a reason. They're flimsy, their policies are concrete but banal.

However, Cameron irks me. And some of the Tory policies [particularly immigration and civil rights] also disagree with me.

I think I'll have to base my decision on...*shudder*...LOCAL ISSUES :bawling:

I think that once the economy is safe and sound and back on it's feet.. then we can start to think about changing everything.

Tony Blair's mess was hugely contributed to by the unelected walking disaster that is Brown. He was the Chancellor of Exchequer under Blair so is hugely instrumental in causing the financial chaos we are now in. 13 years of Labour misrule has resulted in the poor getting poorer, the unions getting a strangehold again, and a government hell bent on ignoring the genuine concerns of its people whilst getting caught with their collective greedy paws in the national till. I seriously wonder about the sanity of anyone who is even remotely considering voting this bunch of useless, incompetent, self serving clowns back in to finish the job of burying England for good.

Yeah I watched the debate - talk about style over substance. Clegg has done a great job of covering up his upper class etonian credentials and pretending to be down with the peasants. Considering he and members of his party were the biggest offenders in the expenses fiasco, he is hardly in a position to take any sort of moral high ground.

Brown was foisted on the public as an UNELECTED Prime Minister, having ballsed up the economy whilst Chancellor of Exchequer. If the Labour Party had any integrity whatsoever there would have been an immediate general election when Blair resigned, instead of lumbering us with that jackass.
I note you are Scottish - would that be why you are so keen to see him back in power, considering the amount of handouts we English have to send north of the border without any reciprocation?
