    David Cameron: I think he is a very 'weak' leader, I can't give him my vote.

    Ed Milliband: OMG perish the thought of him being prime minister.

    Nigel Farage: Done too many U turns lately, proved he is not a man of his word.

    Green Party: Silly policies and a waste of a vote.

    So that leaves erm.................................nobody!!!!! For the first time ever, maybe I won't bother.

      I thought i would never say this..I have been a labour voter all my life..but i am gonna vote Conservatives..Just because they are doing something right for a change..Labour got us into this mess in the first place..Economy is growing..interest rates is at its lowest in a decade...so its Cameron for me.

          Its true as far as I'm concerned there is nobody worth my vote.

          I've said it before, but I think our so called democratic voting system needs a total overhaul.

          If I vote for one of the lesser parties I might as well not bother, my vote would be wasted.
          I live in a safe Tory seat, so not much point in turning out, unless you want to vote tory.:wallbanging:

            I've always voted Labour too, but I'm doubting their competence over the economy. Could I vote for the 'nasty' party? :dunno:

              Val, I think you have two ways to go. Vote for the devil you know.....or put the names in a hat and pick one. :biggrin:

              I'm glad I don't have to make this choice. :)

                Ed Milliband reminds me of Wallace of Wallace and Gromit fame.

                I have to ask myself - do I want this man to represent the Country abroad...the answer is no.

                Did you see the Lib Dem guy presenting their budget......very embarrasing.... yet strangely amusing :loll:

                            I'll vote for him then Freddy, what party is he?

                            No, true it would not improve the bunch we have to vote for, but a system whereby we get a vote and then another vote, thereby whittling down the "god damn awful bunch" we are presented with, might just stop all this silliness involving coalitions, and who is prepared to make a deal with who, after WE have made OUR decision.
                            Its a total farce, and one hell of a way to run a country.
