I just don't trust them one bit. David Cameron comes across as a total twat and I know Gordan Brown isn't perfect but at least he doesn't sugar-coat.. I'd prefer him to keep this country going than any sly Tory.
Yes Indeed the Conservatives go in and sort out the mess Labour leave, trouble with unions, country almost bankrupt, economy on its knees. Oh would you look at that the spirit of 1979 rearing its head in 2010.

I will vote Liberal.
I personally believe in their policies and I think Nick Clegg is an amazing leader.
Did you watch the debate?
I thought he was amazing!
David Cameron however.... not my cup of tea!

I can't vote, coz' I'm a leprachaun and stuff, but as an observer of British politics I would go with Nick Clegg.

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

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.

Also, Nick Clegg is talking sense on the Leaders' Debate, but the Lib Dems and Conservatives in power will be a slap in the face.

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?

I second that, the sooner the Scottish hand is out of the English purse the better.
