I wouldn't say I support any political party, but always vote. I tend to agree with shakermaker re. the BNP, but when you read front page headlines like today's 'Daily Express' you can well understand why their support is growing.

Daily Express: The World's Greatest Newspaper :: News / Showbiz :: British Muslims are 'too extreme'

Labour. My mum and dad said you have the right to vote so use it. If you dont vote you havent got the right to complain about the council/government. Even if the party you voted for didnt get in you took the time to vote so then you have the right to complain, if you cant be bothered voting then why bother complaining?

I vote for the party that best represents my interests.

I would have gone for that option too if there'd been one.

I always vote too and next time I will be voting BNP. I don't agree with Shakermaker on this and wonder just what it will take for some people to open there eyes. The Daily Express story is just the tip of the iceberg of the problems facing Lancashire at the moment but this thread is not about that.

I picked the parties from a real list. The Pensioners Party does indeed have followers though please dont ask me to find you any.

Also, this isn't intended to be a serious thread where you pick someone you 100% stand by. Its very unlikely to find a political party who you can actually back 100% anyway, so just select who you would pick in the poll.

ALL the partys named exist.

Blazey voting is serious. It is the voting of someone to represent you in council or government.

Also for the BNP would have to leave the EU if they gained support to commit to anything they say and that would severely cut ties with countries we have strong relationships with. The last thing we should be doing is leaving the EU.

Is there ANY country in the world that doesn't have immigrants? I think there is only one country I can think of that attempted creating a society of one race only at one point and lets just say they lost WWII and their leader committed suicide...

In fact the news paper report today in the Daily Express reminds me of something that country would've done. First step is to create the fear and hate of a race is it not?

Anyone who wastes their vote on the BNP is even more stupid than someone who doesn't vote at all.

No its about voting for someone who will represent your beliefs. I didn't create the party, someone else did, and I assure you it exists.

National Pensioners Party Home Page

I took ALL the party's from a list of current political parties who all have voters.

Liberty - Protecting Civil Liberties Promoting Human Rights : Home

Its a political party thats focussing on human rights basically. I had a friend at college who supported this party, so I'm assume it was quite popular as he was into his big rallys and things like that in London and Manchester.

But it's not. From the site you linked to:
Liberty is also known as the National Council for Civil Liberties. Founded in 1934, we are a cross party, non-party membership organisation
So how can anyone vote for them?

Re: Which party do you support?
 
i vote for lib dem's now, and the reaseon why is that they made mr kenedy leave because of his alcohol addiction, if all the truth came out about mp's we would have none, look at mr prescot, and what is his actual job title, as far as i know he's being paid for just being there, otherwise i cant think of any other reason to vote, cant believe anything any of them say
