I decided the Green Party in the end. The way I see it, if we're all a bit greener then the immigrants won't effect our natural resource use.

Tough one for me. I'm not fond of Cameron but can't stand Labour so i'd probably vote for the Tories to get rid of that useless Scottish idiot.
Same as, Brown is not the man but then I'm not in favour of voting for the toffs and landed gentry.  What worries me is that Cameron has pledged to make massive cuts, the pensioners bus pass, working tax credits, winter fuel allowance will all go.  The minimum wage is another and they have pledged to bring back fox hunting, fuck me if only there was a credible third way.

I can see that the next election will not result in a clear majority - whoever gets in will have to work with other parties to get anything through - not a bad thing in my view - will prevent one party steam rolling of new laws/swathing cuts/excessive spending...

I can see most Labour candidates losing their deposits. It will be landslide.

I'd vote Tory, as i'd see anything else as a waste. In the Euro's, i'm going for UKIP

I think there is little chance of labrador getting another term. The general public and media seem to be quite damning, though I think a lot of it at the moment is down to the expenses scandal.

Labradors are useful though. They keep fetching that ball and want you to throw just one more time....

In truth though, in response to the original question, I don't know. Traditionally, I have NEVER voted for the Conservatives, and nor will I EVER. That said, I can't bring myself to vote Labour after the last 12 years, and I don't think the Lib Dems currently offer a viable third option in a national environment. I don't know enough about what the fringe parties really stand for to vote for them - at the end of the day, I'd study their manifestos carefully before voting for any of them.

Having said that, I live in a constituency with a massive Tory majority, that even in today's political climate, is unlikely to change, so even a tactical vote on my part will make no difference.

If I had to make choice for the purpose of this poll, it would be Lib Dem.

What he said, basically. Labour are crap. Tories are always crap. Lib Dem isn't much of an alternative. I'd be voting for a fringe party - perhaps the Greens. They tend to have policies aimed to attract students, as we are the most likely to be tree hugging loonies Smiley

Talk is cheap though, the chances of them implementing any let alone all of those (and other) things is remote to say the least - especially during a first term. There will be far more important things for the next government to worry about. Only exception is the massive cuts, but then Labour are going to have to do that as well to try and balance the books over the next 10 years.

I voted other. Spoilt ballot for me. Better than wasting your right to vote.

Errrrr...that is wasting your right to vote.

If you can't distinguish between the candidates on offer then you're better off refusing to enter into the whole fucking shoddy farce of democracy than to make it look like you're happy to participate but can't use a fucking pencil.

I think we should start a party called "please put a cross in this box to confirm your vote" party.  I can't think of any credible policies, but it would be interesting to test the nations thickness which I'm hypothosising is pretty thick, doorstep bread sized thick.
