12 hours to go & I don't know what to do????

silentbob

I hate election time.

Here we are with 12 hours til the polls open & I've no idea who I'm gonna vote for? All my adult life I've voted Labour but quite frankly they (well, mainly Brown cos I though Blair did OK) have well & truly screwed this country up so I don't feel comfortable giving them my vote. 

I've never trusted Lib Dems & quite frankly I find Nick Clegg a bit creepy. So that really leaves Conservatives. Cameron comes across as OK but they'll probably s crew us all over anyway.

I'll admit, I don't really understand much politics cos they never actually explain things in English (or simple terms for people like me if you like) which just makes things even more difficult. I've always voted simply cos if I don't then I've got no rights to complain so what do I do? I think I'm leaning towards Cameron but I just don't know.

Anyone else having this problem?

NOTE: why doesn't this like the word s crew?

Will be glad when its over, all the TV coverage says it is the most exciting election in years..........

Sadly, it is about as exciting as a pile of clothes that need ironing.

We all get shafted one-way or another regardless of who we vote for or who wins.

With you on this one m8,voted Lab before but cant stand them now.Prob is whoever you vote for, you just know ! in 18mths time they're gonna come up with a bagful of lies why they could't adhere to their promises.So, its not who i like the most, its who i detest the least.
     Lib could be a wasted vote and let lab in, UKIP nah ! so only leaves me with the conning Cons( I vote coz a lot of good people put in a lot of effort so i could have my vote unlike a lot of other countries)

Agreed. Sorry, that's as far as I read ;-)

Before I start I will confess I am very much a Liberal and have been for years! The one thing we all must agree on is Politics needs a change and the only party offering a real change is the Liberals!
They want to change the voting system so when you vote your vote counts so their will be no wasted votes! (but the only wasted vote to me is a vote for your second choice!) They want to make the first 10,0000 pounds of our earnings tax free thats 700 pounds a year in our pockets! This will be paid for by shutting down all the tax loopholes for the top 20% of earners!
The Torys have promised The top 20% of earners extra tax relief netting them an extra 200,000 pounds a year while taking 65 million out of the budget for schools & police!
We have all lived with Browns leadership so I dont feel I have to say to much about Labour.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKFTtYx2OHc For those not old enough to remember the way Torys tend to be here is a tongue in cheek video that sums them up for me! If you are filthy rich and think its okay to kill animals for fun then the CONservatives are the party for you!

I don't remember the mid late 80's, way too young.  However were we ever in nearly a trillion pounds worth of debt?

Good Shout mate, I think we should run a thread on what else the tories could find to tax.

Got no love for the Cons, my business folded under them but Brown sold our gold reserves, what was it ? 3 Troy oz for the price of one, what was that all about ? 18 mths ago hes saying that the banks are the best, now hes saying banks have to be controlled.What control ? they're still getting a massive bonus for making billions by charging interest rates 4 or 5% abv base, whilst the rest of us struggle. Nah sorry they're all the same, can't defend any of them !

In Barking, it's a two horse race between Labour and the BNP, so my decision is easy enough.  I didn't even have to read the leaflets.

LABOUR BORROWED MORE MONEY THAN EVERY GOVERNMENT IN HISTORY ALL PUT TOGETHER. IT WOULD TAKE SOMEONE ON 20K A YEAR 2 THOUSAND MILLION YEARS TO PAY IT ALL BACK. THEY SOLD ALL OUR GOLD. THEY TAKE IN TWICE AS MUCH IN TAX FROM US THAN THE TORIES DID. THEY SOLD US DOWN THE RIVER WITH EUROPE. THEY TOOK US INTO WAR WITH LIES AND MADE MILLIONS OF MUSLIMS WANT TO DESTROY US. THEY COVER UP EVERY SCANDAL WITH COSTLY WHITEWASH ENQUIRIES. THEY LET IMMIGRATION SPIRAL COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL. THEY GIVE AWAY BILLIONS OF POUNDS OF OUR MONEY TO BRUSSELS EVERY YEAR. THEY TREAT THE MAJORITY OF THIS COUNTRY INCLUDING THEIR OWN SUPPORTERS WITH UTTER  CONTEMPT. THEY ALLOWED THE UK TO BE SPLIT UP. THEY INTERFERE AND SPY ON EVERY ASPECT OF OUR EVERYDAY LIVES. THEY BROKE ALL OF HEIR MANIFESTO PROMISES. THEY STARTED TO TAX THE DEAD. THEY HAVE ALLOWED THE CRIMINALS AND THUGS TO RULE OUR STREETS WHILE TYING THE HANDS OF THE VICTIMS, THE POLICE AND THE COURTS. THEY HAVE INTRODUCED HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF NEW LAWS..........CANT BE BOTHERED LISTING THE SCORES OF OTHER THINGS.

THE TORIES COCKED UP ONLY IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THAT THEY WERE IN POWER THEN PUT THE ECONOMY RIGHT AND HANDED IT TO LABOUR IN A GOOD STATE. THEY WERE KICKED OUT IN THE END FOR SLEAZE AND BACKSTABBING EACH OTHER.

PRETTY SIMPLE IN MY HUMBLE OPINION WHO TO VOTE FOR.........NONE OF THE ABOVE LOLOL.

lozgo

hmmm. wonder if the monster raving loony party are still going? if they are i might give them a shout. couldn't do worse i suppose. at least we would all have some fun before the country goes down the toilet. it is possible, of course, that they could make a decent job of things!

If the government changes after today, all that will happen is we will exchange one set of self-interested money grabbing expense fiddlers for another. Bah humbug! I'm voting for Harry Redknapp, now there's a miracle worker.
