Have a lot of elections where you live, do they? ;) :)

Re: Which party do you support?
 

I'm wondering about how much your own personal perceptions/prejudices of a candidate affects your vote, (Blazey says she is a Conservative but would she vote for a Conservative if the candidate was a fat 20 stone woman ?) likewise , Greg Pope must have got a big boost since he is a 'local lad' , think what I am asking is .. do you think the same numbers who voted for Greg Pope would have voted the same if say Jack Straw had been the candidate instead ? :confused:
thanks

Re: Which party do you support?
 

I like Greg Pope-- but loathe Gordon Brown -- what is a lifetime labour voter to do ?

Re: Which party do you support?
 

I have never had a lifetime allegiance to any political party because they all have the same cracks, in different guises, that reduce them.

I have Socialist leanings but my Socialism is not the stuff of New Labour. I have Liberal ideals, to a degree, but they are not Liberal Democrat. I concur with some Conservative thinking but it has been sullied by the Thatcher years.

I would love to vote for the candidate, on his or her own record, rather than the party. Maybe the Pensioners' Party can field such a body? :ph34r8:

I want to frame this sentence, I don't recall a more accurate one from you, well done Blazey. :D

Re: Which party do you support?
 

Thats quite an amusing sentence :D

Re: Which party do you support?
 

Why is it amusing blazey?

Re: Which party do you support?
 

Is it as accurate if you have never voted in a local election as well as a general election ?

Re: Which party do you support?
 

Make your bloody mind up.:)

Re: Which party do you support?
 

Its stupid to waste a vote, and not voting at all or voting for the bnp are both a waste of a vote.

I dont expect many people vote for bnp though, just the idiotic ones who think they stand for something achievable.

BNP are practically nazi's :mad: they cant bring any good changes to the country, they'd only drag it down into the gutter.

Re: Which party do you support?
 

i vote labour just to keep the tories out.they single handly destroyed most of the manufacturing industry in britain.

Re: Which party do you support?
 

Really because that's just how I felt after the one and only time I voted for The Conservative Party.

Re: Which party do you support?
 

As more and more legislation-making now takes place in Brussels (or Strausbourg) and this process is being accelerated as the government surrenders more and more of our hard-won independence, the choice of who to vote for in Parliament is becoming increasingly irrelevant...in fact, you may as well vote for the Monster Raving Loony Party and I may well do so at the next election.
