2005 election

I'm no Blairite, but I will be voting Labour just to keep Howard out. He strikes me as the worst kind of opportunist - see his party's deliberately sensationalist stance on immigration and abortion.

Do people seriously think Howard is any more trustworthy than Blair? I despair if they do.

I refuse to vote for Tony Blair because he's just got this mentality of doing whatever the hell he wants regardless of his party or public opinion or whatever, and I will never ever even consider voting for the racist conservatives, so Lib Dem. Besides, I live in a marginal Lib Dem constituency, so I'd like to see them hold it.

Voting Labour means voluntarily putting Blair back in, the Conservatives are the Conservatives, UKIP and the BNP are scum and the Greens haven't a chance. So I'm going for the Lib Dems

I think Joel has the better idea of voting for the party which is more likely to affect your constituency. Voting Lib Dem would do nothing for my ward, therefore my vote will go to Labour to keep the Tories at bay, although if enough of a Lib Dem following gathered, I'd gladly vote for them as they make the most sense.

Even if I didn't live where I do, I'd still vote Lib Dem on principle. That's what it should be about.

How on Earth did you get that impression?

I'd vote Lib Dem if I thought it would make a difference. It's a shame that it seems to come down to "who can keep the Tories out?" Unless, of course, you want the Tories in.

Doesn't trying to get Labour out count for anything though?

Does any one know is blair stepping down after the election?

Michael Howard is a loser. You know how he's getting all these controls on immigration? It's hypocritical! He keeps saying how he's going to 'give britain back what it gave him' BUT that's it exactly. Why be so tough on immigrants,. when he is one himself. Surely he should sympathise with them. I know, I know...yada yada, they take all the houses and all the jobs......well, no actually, legal immigrants are good for the economy. But you get my point, right?

Anyway. So, no to the conservatives. NO TO LABOUR, stupid tw*ts. Although......labour is the only party who will not support lowering the abortion week thing from 24 to 20.......I think the other parties would do well to follow this. BUT STILL..........NO to labour, cause this country is in a mess. You know, gordon brown went and sold off a load of our gold for knock-down prices?? Yes, yes he did. Thanks mr. brown, that's great for the economy.

So. I would vote for the green party, but, they are never going to get the majority.............so.................i think it'll be liberal democrats this year. But I'm not so sure I like charles kennedy. But whatever, no matter.

So, yeah. If we can get enough people voting lib dem way...as many of you seem to want to do, but aren't in fear that the tories will get in instead, well............................meh, if labour get back in.................that's crap, but ah well.

yeh i was in Goole! Hillary Benn is going to be there at 5pm tomorrow unveiling the manifesto or something. I've been invited to that, but i might not go.

Prescott on Friday morning outside Guildhall in Hull is the big one near me

No way am i voting labour, I dont trust tony blair as far as i could throw and not just because he lied about the war hes lied about loads of other stuff too. Im voting torie cause i actually like what their saying , i would vote lib dems but i think charles kennedys too soft to be any good as are some of there policies, either way i just want someone to get rid of the ruddy PC brigade whos influence seems to be getting stronger

You were the one with the eggs then, Paul?

back to luco el locos post, speaking of the tories being racist, one of their election taglines in the fifties was: 'if you want a n*gg*r living next door to you, vote labour'. now im sure they don't endorse that now, but im sure there are still plenty of 'old school' conservatives with those views around. only they now call themselves the BNP.

Have a look at http://www.whoshouldyouvotefor.com , thats quite interesting, especially if you're undecided.

told me I should vote for Green.
2nd place was Lib Dem.

I think Labour will get the most votes.

Then Conservatives

Then the Liberal Democrats.
