So you don't care about jobs, healthcare and education? Well not that you would at 13 but in the future?

You don't care that there will be cuts left right and centre, and you don't care about the mess that party left us in last time?

You cant support a party from one policy, look up Tory history, these people should never be re-elected

I think the polls show people, apart from the core Tory support, don't want to vote Tory.
If people liked the Conservatives they would be on around 40%, in reality they are just an anti-Labour vote, they are the default alternative
The TV debates made that alternative vote wide open as the Lib Dem surge shows.

I hate them.

They will turn Britian into a shambles, all of it is lies, same with Nick Clegg.

Gordon Brown was very stupid insulting that woman and I felt sorry for her. But he is by far the only one who is talking sense.

maybe because the Tories have been honest, the economy is still in crisis, there does need to be savage cuts in public spending, at least the conservative party have been open and honest about it unlike the other two major parties.

Only the cuts Tories will be making is where they will only benefit those who don't need benefiting in the first place!

It's exactly because I care about jobs, healthcare and education that I will be voting Conservative. If Labour cared they would control our borders, invest in society's infrastructure, and put the brakes on their massive borrowings caused by their own economic incompetence. That tired old chestnut that it is all the fault of the Tories 13 YEARS AGO, is really pathetic. All that Labour has done during that time is make things ten times worse, so what's the point of giving them another 5 years to bury England for good?

At least a small consolation is that a lot of the pro-labour views expressed on this forum are from people ineligible to vote.

Would you prefer a one party state?

And as for BS, the Labour party excel at it. You just need to look at the lies they have printed on election leaflets around the country and said in their political broadcasts to worry and put fear into people.

It doesn't matter who wins, we'll still bitch about them for the next 5 years. They all might as well be the same person because nobody will make a major impact either way. That being said Brown and Cameron make me want to punch puppies and I hate Clegg the least.

The real scary thing is that people come on here merely spouting out the same tired regurgitated spin that the Labour liars feed to those who can't see what's under their own noses, and are seeming unable to arrive at well documented conclusions despite the mountain of evidence that shows how badly Labour have served this country. However, I have enough confidence in the GBP to know that the majority of people in this country want to see the back of "New" Labour who are still ,the same lying, self serving, hypocritical toerags they always were, and WHOEVER gets in it will NOT be the Labour scumbags.

I feel sorry for Labour's traditional supporters - they have been badly betrayed by this bunch of bandits. A lot of people who once supported Labour have had their eyes opened and are abandoning them in droves. Whether they will now vote Lib-Dem, UKIP, BNP, Conservative, Green Party or whatever, it wont be for the Raving Loony Party who have been in power for 13 long years and whose legacy will be the virtual destruction of this country from within.

Oh, and judging by the forum poll it seems 77.41% don't support Labour either! Compared to outside polls these are fairly accurate results. Roll on Thursday and the ceremonial kicking out of Brown and his cohorts!

There is a saying that anyone who is not Labour at 21 is a fool and anyone who is not a Conservative by 40 is an even bigger fool.

Socialism is about ideology
being Conservative is about dealing with reality

Because I see it this way.

Labour = more tax. Labour have lied about how much spending cuts they'd make, and their strategy this campaign has been nothing more than a grisly and meagre smear campaign against the Tories, it's really quite pathetic. Tata.

Liberal Democrats = CHANGE. ALTERNATIVE. POLITICAL POINTSCORING. Nick Clegg has more ****ing soundbites than Blair had, for christ's sake, he's so seethrough it's obscene. His so-called 'policies' are so thin and unimportant that it skims over the real issues, and makes him desperate. It's very easy to appear as an alternative party when the said alternative party has BEEN an alternative party all of their life, and for a reason: they have no calibre, no backbone and are frankly not fit to run the country.

The conservatives however have been the most upfront about how much spending cuts there will be, and the only real criticisms on their policy is the abolition of inheritance tax thing - a proposal that affects ALL homeowners on a salary of £20k+ - is that's what's considered as 'rich' nowadays? And otherwise it's just a lot of childishness about Cameron's wealthy background.

There are a few grey areas with me and the Conservatives; civil rights namely, their past on issues such as homophobia and racism has been suspect and I can't help but feel wary of a leader who's voted against gay adoption. But that's an incredibly narrow policy area, even though if it's one that may be against me, I have faith in the public that, should there be a referendum (or failing that, a strong petition/campaign to get justice) that won't be a problem.

I may not agree with all your conclusions but it is refreshing to read a post by someone who has actually thought about the issues and seen through most of the BS.

People are anti labour precisely because they have been in power for 13 years and managed to do a pretty fine job of destroying this country. Most rational people do not want another 5 years of their destructive policies. If people can't see that, despite the ample evidence right in front of them, then there really is no hope for them is there? There ARE other parties out there, apart from the Tories, to vote for. Whilst I will be voting Conservative, I am at the stage now that I would take ANYONE over the corrupt, self serving, hypocritical Labour party.

*has read the Tory manifesto*

I like their economic proposals, particularly the removal of stamp duty for first-time housebuyers, the abolition of Labour's Jobs Tax, the continuation and enhancement of 'Academies' [admittedly a Labour scheme], 10000 more University places, more apprenticeships, training and other such opportunities for younger people...
