Not sure who I will vote for yet tbh. But it wont be UKIP..I wish to stay in the EU. Yeah its expensive but I feel the benefits far outweigh the cons.

Mind UKIP seem to be the most likely at this stage from what I have read

They're still 3 points behind Labour.

UKIP are going to give the other parties a proper shellacking I reckon. I bet the Tories are crapping themselves. I've had some UKIP literature at home already, haven't heard from any other party yet and there's only just over three weeks to go. Also, there are loads of "I'm Voting UKIP" posters in windows around where I live.

Ukip got me first too about a week ago, labours sorry one came today, even the greens beat if.

I did get a nice signed letter from Alex and the SNP though:spin:

Did Alex tell you that your vote won't really count if you vote for independence because you'll be out of Europe anyway?

I never get anything from Labour, ever. Nor the Greens. I usually get a rather slick effort from the Tories and a shabby, typo-littered, grammatically incorrect leaflet from the LibDems. I wish they'd stop using that shiny paper though, it makes it impossible to wipe your arse on it.

Whatever literature comes through my door it's not on what or how it's written, but the actual content that influences my decision.

That's what comes from living in the sticks. Fear of "foreigners" is rife.

Yes I will be voting, I would eat my right arm off rather than vote UKIP

Will you vote in the Scottish referendum Josy?

No, it's not. Nor at people who don't go to work. It's okay them moaning about foreigners coming over here taking our jobs... but there's a large section of the community who would have no intention of taking the jobs foreign people do. UKIP know who their target voters are and it pains me to say this, but they're saying all the right things to them right now.

Tell that to the chump who put flyers in my postbox. I live in a student halls building which is full of international students, it's pretty offensive.

Josy

Arent the UKIP proposing to get rid of uni fee's?

If so then I would say that was aimed at youngish people with no property or business...

I wasn't just talking about the countryside. The cities and towns around here are also supporting UKIP in large numbers.

God no @ UKIP, would rather have Labour

voting Greens though

Nedusa
29-04-2014, 02:59 PM
But can't people see voting for UKIP whether you like them or not is necessary as we are stuck in a political rut with the main political parties in this country.

If UKIP get enough votes it may wake up the bigger parties to the fact that if they don't pull their fingers out and start listening to the GBP who vote them in to start with, they may find parties like UKIP getting more and more votes and coalition governments becoming more common.

I think for this reason people need to vote UKIP to give a jolt to the current political status quo.

No sign of Ukip where I am in Norwich. I can't imagine them going down well here because it's all Greens and Labour everywhere. The chap from the Greens is the only one who's come to our house, tried to get rid of him by telling him I wasn't registered to vote but then he banged on about the voting registration process for ten minutes, how I would be eligible, where to go and vote etc. etc. Didn't have the heart to tell him I wasn't going to vote Green so I just stood there nodding politely and probably left him the impression they would definitely have my support

Livia

I think maybe it's because it's a staunch Tory stronghold where I live and they're mega-pissed off with the government. In the past they've turned to the LibDems as an alternative vote but they're pissed off with them too after the Coalition bumbling. UKIP has landed just at the right time for them. There was a UKIP public meeting in my local town last month and they couldn't get everyone in who wanted to attend. It's kind of scary.

The Tory Blue fades around the Uni doesn't it LOL... In fact Norwich South was Labour until relatively recently as you know, it was Charles Clarke's seat and I expect them to once again be the one patch of red in a sea of what used to be blue, but will now probably be quite purple.

I didn't realise that actually, I've only been a student here while there's been local elections so never actually taken much notice of who holds the seat for Parliament, though that the Lib Dems now have Norwich South explains why it's always their newsletters which come through my bloody postbox

Funny how the kids can see them for what they are isn't it?

It's not really the students who decide the vote though that's just how it happens to be around that area, a tiny pocket of red and green in the midst of like Livia said the sea of blue

That maps looks like the one produced following the 2013 County election... which is why there's so much UKIP. These two are the maps from the 2005 and 2010 General Election. I wonder what it'll look like in 2015?

Always? Regardless of any policies they introduce that don't sit well with you? I can't honestly say that I will always vote for a particular party regardless of their performance and their policies.

Sadly, I think UKIP are going to sweep the board, people are fed up with the same old same old.

Aduk
22-05-2014, 07:55 PM
I am a natural Labour voter, so yes I'm quite likely to normally vote for them.

UKIP aren't sweeping the board. Polls have them level with Labour. It's close.

I voted today with my first vote for the european elections and my 4th in the local elections.
Today is the first time I have voted Labour and did so for both today's elections.

I do however think in the european elections UKIP will lead the way and strongly too.
