Vote for Clegg. I urge you.

Labour.

I can't stand Cameron and if they get in power, I'm scared that they'll shut everything down, again. I like Gordon Brown and I actually think he's trying to do something about the problems in today's economy and other issues. 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.

The way I see it is that the reason that so many of these elections end up being a two horse race is because so many people believe it is a two horse race. Everyone thinks that they have no choice other than the two leading parties when it just isn't true.

I know Nick Clegg is boring and looks like some PC World employee, but the alternative is much worse.

Cleggy did well, I really want to vote for him but am too scared of Cameron getting in to do it! Cameron appeared the slimy greasy tosser he is! no substance whatsoever and no comeback RE: tax breaks for millionaires, loved Clegg sticking the knife in there! He also raised a good point about the trident missile programme! Why the **** are we spending on that when money is needed for public services and decent wages and equipment for our troops!? good stuff

Millionaires are mostly the successful people in society and the job providers, why do you see them as bad?

would you rather tax breaks for the lazy and feckless?

Clegg

The reason why i dont trust the others, to me after watching the debate last night he came across as more honest than the other two, & we havn't had a LD goverment for a long long time.

So in my opinion its time for a change.

No I would rather for the hard working Dr's, nurses, teachers, police, armed forces, social services, fire services etc....people who contribute an essential service to society and are struggling! How anyone can consider tax breaks for those that dont need it in the current economic climate its beyond me! Especially when the people at the very top are often earning undeserved and disproportionate amounts of money to the rest of us! ie/ bankers

millionaires are hard working, hence what they are. They are the employers.

No its not end of really is it? yes they work hard and provide jobs but a lot of them get too greedy, particularly in this country where the rich poor gap is getting more and more obscene compared to other countries in Europe (that do just fine), they arent entitled to take the piss the way they have and in the current economic climate why should the small minority that arent suffering get breaks at the expense of the rest of us (hardworking) majority who are suffering

Sounds like more than a hint of jealousy there. Which particular millionaire(s) did you mean when you referred to them as taking the piss, care to give us names and examples? Or are your generalisms simply fired by envy of the haves?

Got my card in the post yesterday, my first year as a voter!

When I was younger I always thought that I'd vote for Plaid Cymru but they have no chance. So Labour for me.. the Conservatives will ruin this country, look at what they've done in the past! 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.

The expansion of academies, the economy & environment policies.

Though the immigration policies are a bit worrying to me. And their civil rights record.

I'm confused again after watching the debate last night.

No not envy more an overwhelming sense of injustice (I am far from alone in feeling) I'll compile a list for you at some point if thats what you want, I have no problem with those that work hard and make a shed load ie/ Alan Sugar and such like (also funny isnt it how the self made millonaires such as Alan Sugar, Ducan Banatyne are pro labour and the lords and the trust foundies are Tory)...Bankers on huge bonus's/pensions that nowhere near reflect what theyve given in will be at the top. The greedy who are on far more than they deserve to be on, people who have come into money from birth and do feck all for it, people who make money here and dont even pay tax here aswell!!

Is Tick One Box Only running?

He is from the Instructions on the Voting form party and seems to be the least worse option.

the rich get richer and the poor get poorer - go figure!

I am at a loss................would not have Cameron in power no way - terrifying though
Brown I think we are safer under I think he will guide us through ..

Clegg..........pleasantly surprised - time for a change to that side? Perhaps..
