I'm torn at the moment.
There's no way I'd consider voting Labour because I don't trust them, equally so the Tories who want to hit me in the pocket by scrapping tax credits.
If I'm voting for policies, which should generally be the way an election system should be, I'd be voting UKIP. I were to vote for the biggest possibility of change, I'd go Lib Dem with the chance of a hung parliament.

It's all completely irrelevant, just a circus.
The power is now in Brussels and the commissioners are unelected.
The HoP will be closed down before the next UK General Election as surplus to requirements. Enjoy the theatre while you can.

While accepting your general point about the gradual transfer of power from Westminster to Brussels, I think the chances of this happening are approximately nil.

Well the 'gradual' bit is so far down the road it is nearly complete. What's the point of the HoP when all it does is to rubber stamp (or worse still - gold plate) EU directives and regulations, usually through all encompassing statutory instruments? There are hardly any debates about legislation in the Commons any more. That's why MPs spend so much time claiming and spending their expenses, as there is fuck all else for them left to do...

I think you're grossly underestimating the economic value of the Houses of Parliament to the nation. Where would our moat industry be without them? Eh? Eh?

ha ha ha. Fair play to the bloke on the news having a go at Milliband. The look on Milliband's face was priceless - should be a picture of it in the dictionary under "aghast"

Did you read my post? Would you be happy if the entire cabinet were that unrepresentative of the population in any other way?
All gay but a couple of token straights? All Mulslim except two Christians? 98% black?
Fuck me the Daily Mail had a field day when 4 or 5 of the Labour cabinet were Scottish, but no-ones allowed to mention class anymore are they?
Lumps - honestly couldn't give a flying fuck if they were green, black, yellow, brown, gay, lesbian, straight, comprehensive schooled, private schooled or aliens ! The point is what they will do for the country and what they will do for me and my family ..... I don't trust Brown and Labour - labour have had 13 years - spent a lot of the time fucking things up, and now have the cheek to say "elect us and let us show you what we will do" - well fuck me if that's the case what have they been doing for 13 years ?!?!?! I don't want the tree hugging Lib Dems in charge..... I would rather see the Tories - I like some of their ideals - It's easy to say "remember when they were last in charge" - but what most Labour supporters quickly forget is the winter of 78 when they were in charge - all the strikes, hospitals not operating properly, bodies stored in warehouses, the unions largely taking control of the country ! Not for me thanks......

I think for most people picking who to vote for is a issue of "who do I disagree with least?" rather than "who do I agree with most?"

The party I most agree with is by far the lib dems. They have some very sensible policies and good ideas, so I will be voting for them. It's good that more of the public are finally seeing sense and I hope their support continues to rise. The worst manifesto I've read (other than the British Nazi Party) is UKIP's. Their figures are laughable and they have some moronic, unjustified policies like opposing wind farms and increasing the military budget by 40%, which would be a huge waste of money.

You've clearly yet to encounter the English Democrats. What with them, UKIP and the BNP the Daily Mail readers are spoilt for choice this year
