A floating voter then is what you are saying. :)

It looks like a coalition of ‘other’ and ‘none’ holds sway here.

Long live the rebels!

Personally I think we cover all areas of the political spectrum.

Please feel free to use this poll to show which party you support, if any.

Thank you.

Me - im labour through and through even though if id been born in northern ireland i would have been unionist!!! Never made any bones about it - people on here know i support labour and an active member of the labour party but i also try to stay out of political discussions on here. Mainly because i think even though im a hyndburn constituent i am not a hyndburn resident. Also dont like being took apart by some of the people on here!!! :D:D:D

Im a chicken!!! :gif_12::gif_12::gif_12:

You've got the colours mixed up on the poll Garinda.:) I think it's red for Labour and blue for Conservative.:D
Anyway,at the risk of being disembowelled or disenfranchised or whatever that fella said in the Observer,I have stated that I vote Conservative locally because that is the party represented by my councillor who I have always found very responsive and helpful to any problems I have approached him with and,yes,the councillor in question is PB and I'm not ashamed to say it.Maybe there are more of us but this forum can be quite hostile towards Peter on occasions and admitting to voting for him can feel a bit like sharing a dirty secret and it shouldn't be like that.You speak as you find and he's always helped me when asked.
Having said that I must also say that I also agree with everyone on here who has invited all Conservative councillors to participate on this forum.It would be good to hear their side from time to time.:D

I have voted none.... I have no political affiliations and tend to vote locally for the candidate who will do my area the most good. My last vote went to labour in the locals but I do vote for other parties in the nationals.;):)

Not me chief. I know I’m not a leader.

I make a good number 2 though.

i voted none cos at this point that is true, only returned to the country 6/7 yrs ago, was really disalusioned with the blair era,think brown is a vast improvement but thats not saying much,camerons policys have no substance, and the lib-dems,no comment,you cannot say much about a nothing party.as for locally,mr farrer has shot his party in the back big-time,the taxi-fiasco did them no good at all either,at least a couple of the labour councillors come on here to answer things even if i do not agree with some of it, so they cannot be accused of being "Spineless" may even consider voting again next time,if i do,at this point i'm leaning towards labour. but still need some convincing.

I am very tempted to ask if the brown stuff on the end of Mr Farrers nose is boot polish......brown, of course!

As well as being apolitical, I'm non-colourist too, hence the poll.;)

Peter Britcliffe is my councillor as well, and on more than one occasion I've used Accy Web to note the rare occasion were I think he's done something worthwhile.

Accy Web is open to all to air their views, the fact that Greg and Graham do, and no Conservative councillor has posted here, speaks volumes about their lack of conviction to defend their policies.

Like a few others here, although i have polled under the 'NONE'....I do vote, but for the person that will represent me the best in local elections....I 'float' in national elections too.
