Yeh I'll be voting, just so I can say I've done it, but nontheless I could not be any more disillusioned with politicians. All liars as far as I'm concerned.

I would advise you to look away from the main three if you feel like that. Look at the greens, ukip, or more radical parties such as the TuSC or the bnp?? idk your vote, do some research and use it wisely.

I like your logic Kirk. UKIP it is. I voted Conservative last time. I suppose it depends on the day of voting. If I feel like a dramatic change then UKIP. If I feel Cameron will actually make progress in the next 5 years then Conservative.

Labour and Lib Dems is out of the question. If you thought David Cameron was bad......

I would if I could, for the greens. (or labour, left unity, or maybe even TuSC depending who was standing).

I think it's important to vote regardless of your views because we are lucky to have a democracy when other countries do not. People fought hard for our right to vote and we should exercise it.

Voting in itself is not democracy as voting can be made compulsory and hence meaningless. It is a fundamental democratic right to not vote too, and its equally valid.

I'm voting UKIP because although Farage MIGHT be lying, that's not an absolute, but with the others they are all PROVEN liars.

Call me racist if you like but I'm the son of immigrants (one anyway).
Call me colour prejudiced if you like but I'm a lovely shade of brown.

Call me a fool if you like for believing Farage, but I have voted in many elections for Labour and the Tories and been PROVED a fool as they both got power and both reneged on pre-election promises and left the country in a worse state than it was before.

I will give Nige a chance, and if it transpires after the election results that he has no chance, then I will be content to think of my vote as a 'protest vote' against Labour and the Tories, and whichever one does get elected, my conscience will be clear when they feck up yet again, because I will not have voted for them.

Me call that Win Win.

So you would have preferred if your immigrant parent was turned away at Customs Kirk?
