Supply your reasons why.

OMG the colours of the result bars match the corresponding political party colours! LOL!!!

Conservative. Aside from the fact I work for them - which in no way guarantees I would vote for them - I know my local MP and he is a good man. He is not likely ever to join the cabinet because he isn't a bum-kisser and doesn't always toe the party line. Not having a flashy Westminster job means he has more time to work for to the people who put him in Parliament in the first place and he never forgets he is a public servant. If my local MP was a tosser, I would vote for someone else based upon their background, policies and achievements.

Then he is in the wrong party. The right has corporate pay masters to answer to.

The austerity measures they've introduced are a war on poor people, whilst all the time protecting the bankers that caused this mess.

Ask your boss how many bankers have been prosecuted.

I'm not here for a party political debate. It was a poll. I don't care who you vote for. If you want to discuss politics with me I will send you my hourly rate.

By explaining your vote you left yourself open to a reply, which is all I did. If your justification for voting is you like the man you work for, then that is your business, not mine.

However, the minute you share that information on a public forum, what do you expect? Good to see someone that works for a politician, only willing to discuss politics for money. The Tories have taught you well.

The thread asks who you will vote for and the opening post asks you to supply your reasons why. The clue is in the words. As far as I can see, it does not say, have a pointless political arument with someone who is clearly anti-tory, quite hostile and doesn't understand the fact I am a "professional Conservative" and that my vote is always my own choice. And for the sake of clarity, I don't work for a politician, I work for the Party. My degree is in law, not politics.

Which is pretty steep!

MTVN · 31-01-2012, 07:54 PM

It's something I'd have to decide nearer the time but probably none of the main three, might not even vote at all

King Gizzard · 31-01-2012, 07:57 PM

Labour - basically because I really like our local MP for them who was in charge for years and does alot more for the community than the tosser we have now for the Tories, who doesn't even live anywhere near the area.

Jack_ · 31-01-2012, 08:05 PM

Probably Lib Dem, but to be quite honest after doing sociology I don't think any of the main three parties encompass most of, if not all of my political beliefs. There might not even be one in existence for all I know. But I'm holding back for now...by the time the next election comes around hopefully I'll be able to back someone.

Livia · 31-01-2012, 09:08 PM

What you consider 'lame' makes no odds to me. But feel free to have a little personal dig at someone who doesn't happen to agree with everything you say, and punctuate your point with a ridiculously large picture.

Bollo · 31-01-2012, 09:10 PM

If I vote at all it would probably be Conservative

MTVN · 31-01-2012, 09:16 PM

I spoilered that pic, and I think you're best off leaving it Jesus tbh, Livia's made it clear she isn't here to get into a long-winded debate so I don't see the use in continuing to try and provoke one

It wasn't a personal dig at all. You introduced waffling and I into the same context prior to that, so I was trying to make fun of it, if anything. Apologies about the size of the pic. I posted it quickly before going to feed the cat. I sincerely didn't know it was that big.

Cheers. The pic was an accident, and you're semi right. I didn't badger or target anyone, and I'm not keen on the suggestion that I'm trying to provoke her into discussion, but this will be my last post in this thread.

I could be persuaded to vote for any party other than the 3 main parties.

However,I can see some good in Labour policies and also admire a great many of the Conservative party policies.
The one thing I will likely do in the next election is where I vote,make sure I vote for the party under threat from the Lib Dems and I will also help canvass and make sure as best I can that the Lib Dems get trounced for what I see as their massive betrayal of trust from their voters at the last election.
That would mean I would have to then vote for the Conservative party as things stand.
