I voted Conservative, but even if they win or if Lib Dem win, there's still a chance Labour can retain power. This government weren't elected in the first place and they can still lead the country without being elected again.

And they say we have a "democracy" here. Go figure!

I'll vote lib dem, on the basis of them being the least worse option :(

If labour stay in power despite getting less votes than the others, expect some shit to kick off :)

i hope you guys make the right choice
There isn't a right choice, you just have to work out which is least wrong. Then again, if we rank them by cuntiness and vote for the least cunty, we'll end up with the happy gay party.

Ranking by cuntiness, you'll end up with a 'none of the above' party ;-)

well, Xeron, do you think the guys that you vote won't rob you blind ;)
You can vote what you want. The government still gets in.

It's always between a douche and a turd.
wade, shouldn't you have voted libdems if you want to change the democratic structure of your country?

wow, wtf to the "landless peasant party". i don't completely see through it so help me out: that's maoism right there, no? or something different?

I was kind of impressed with that landless peasant party. Ok, so in practice it would probably totally destroy the country, but at least it's an interesting concept.

skrebbel, precisely, he should be voting for a hung parliament if he wants electoral reform. Voting Conservative is not going to do anyone any good (unless you're a millionaire).
"Voting Conservative because you're angry with Labour is like sawing your balls off because your trousers are too tight."
We can vote to hang them all? Shit, that gets my vote! Which box do i tick pete?

we've got a choice between the devil you know (labour), the devil you dont (lib dem) and .. the actual devil (tories).

@skrebbel:

The Landless Peasants are mostly inspired by comedian Deek Jackson, famous for his FKN NEWZ

Somewhere on their site was a funny "wrap up" of a TV election debate between candidates of Labours, Tories and Libs.
There they stood: Brown with a red tie (labour, social-democratic), Cameron with blue tie (conservative) and Clegg with the yellow tie (liberal, middle class).

It's almost more ridiculous than here in Germany.
Each of the parties will continue to monetise the national debt by selling Gilts to the BoE running the
Sterling down the drain.
The first to pay this price will neither be the politicians nor the banksters ... it'll be you at the petrol station and the grocery.

I'm very happy to be living in one of the few places in the country where I'm not being pressured to decide between the candidate I like most, the party I like most, the tactical vote against the one I like least, the one that needs my vote most, the one that might just give the whole system a kick up the arse, and the one Stephen Fry wants me to vote for, because they all happen to be the same.

I'm not at all happy to live in an area where the parties are pretty close and tactical voting isn't an issue. I've been spammed daily for the last month, unbelievable amounts of propaganda through my letterbox each day. I probably have enough paper to build a tree :(

Conservative promised this too...not that I believe them to follow up on it. I would've voted Lib dems if they could get into power, but a coalition government with Labour is a disaster waiting to happen. Labour have enough internal squabbles as it is, without throwing more disagreements into the mix.

Don't get me wrong, I hate Conservatives, but they at least appear competent. And as the saying goes: The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
