My initial instinct was not to vote but on second thoughts I did vote but not as I intend to vote come the next General Election. So your quest for information will be skewed.

Theres hardly any need for racist "cotton pickin'" insults, it was your choice to view the thread and your choice if you wanted to vote or not knowing full well it was a public vote. You have no problem airing your views on a multitude of issues of which included the famous Alton Towers Asian day thread, so I don't really see why you wouldn't want to vote publicly, but if secrecy is vital to your voting preference, you just didn't have to vote or post.
Additionally you voted for something other than what you would normally vote to skew the results, this is just incredibly childish so congratulations for making yourself look like a fool.

Re: If there was a general election tomorrow, who gets your vote?
Since when has ‘cotton pickin’ been racist?
However it is better to look like a fool than to actually be one.

It's only a poll! It's there to raise discussion, it's not like the lad is knocking on your door canvassing. Get a bloody grip.
Good thread Cyfr.

According to Etymology Online, the first cite is a Bugs Bunny cartoon! Cotton-picking was first recorded in a Bugs Bunny cartoon, but the noun meaning "contemptible person" dates to around 1919, probably with racist overtones that have faded over the years. --

I aggree ANNE, they do all seem to be as bad as each other, but not voting, allows these idiots to carry on and mighn't allow radical parties like the BNP in via the back door, so please reconsider and use your hard fought for vote accordingly. No offence intended, this is just my opinion. .
