The Vital Villa General Election Thread

One Bloody Number
Coz we can do high brow as well innit....

Straw Poll. Who you voting for? Annonymously if you so prefer.

Most polls currently have the Conservaties edging labour, with UKIP 3rd and Liberals 4th... so how indicative of the norm are we here on Vital I wonder?
 
Lol. I happened to see David Cameron interviewed on the telly this morning and he didn't answer one question properly , he had clearly been told what to say and whatever the question he came out with these rehearsed answers.

Annoys me intensely and it's not just him or the Conservatives either.
 
Not 100% sure yet. It might well be a vote to keep the vile UKIP out if I'm honest.

Half tempted with my first ever spoilt ballot paper (I still believe in actually voting even if it is a spoilt ballot paper rather than not voting, might make no sense but...........)

Will continue to watch all the political debates and see. Mine will be postal vote before I go on hols!
 
I don't usually vote.

The only reason I am this year is to do my bit to stop the vile UKIP achieving anything.

UKIP having any kind of power over this country scares me shitless.
 
Just hope the people in Kent see sense and don't vote for Farage. If he doesn't get in, UKIP will fall apart.
 
Tories are saying they won't reveal what the 12 billion pounds of Welfare cuts will be until after the election (if they get voted back in of course )

£12 billion is a hell of a lot of cutbacks and it's totally disingenuous for them not to reveal where they will cut.

I think they are treating the electorate with contempt on this matter.
 
Yup, although Labour are playing a similar game.

Just tell us the truth, let us decide. But the truth isn't something any of these runts (I was careful) think we are deserving of.
 
I have gone with Labour, i know they am clueless prats and Ed Balls is like the bloke that goes to Greggs everday and scoffs his hodge getting all pastry and cake cream down his tie but the conservatives am really against the needy in this country so for that very reason om voting Labour even though they am clueless.

Yup I was just referring to the Welfare cuts , but yes in general all of them are being economical with the truth.

I suppose this will reflect in the voting with so many other parties involved .
 
So much could be achieved if they put some areas into the cross party arena.

Money needs saving but some areas no one single party dares touch. Cross party they should reform tax, welfare and pensions.

 
I wonder, if there was a party who were concerned with climate change, the corruption of the political process by big companies, inequality, tax avoidance and housing, would people vote for them or are British voters only concerned with house prices?
 
I haven't got a flipin clue and may not even make my mind up until I am in the ballot box. I was bought up to be Tory blue and voted that way all my life, yes, because, of heritage. Just the 1 tie I hadn't been able to break until now.

I am not voting Tory this time. It feels strange. I am NOT though. I am certainly NOT voting UKIP, so that leaves Labour, Liberal and others
 
Labour started the attacks on the disabled and hired that vile blood sacking company to rob genuinely sick people of their money remember kefkat. I'd forgotten until whoever it was pointed it out to me in another thread.
 
I am disillusioned by the choices tbh, i voted UKIP in the local election polls and have not seen one jot of difference just cos i wanted change from the usual clowns, i have realised they am all the same.

The problem is a vote for the Green Party is almost a vote wasted, as they will never get into power

I don't know too much about the Greens. From what I've read, I like their policies but they seem invisible in the British media. UKIP are somewhat similar in size but get way more publicity.

I'm not sure I agree with your thinking although there is a lot of sense to it. Surely you should vote for the politician/party you agree with rather than the ones most likely to get in?

Greens would have a coughing fit every time a decision had to be made using numbers.

Had a Green Council in Brighton for a while now. They are bloody useless. All they see are the Green issues, and completely forget about everything else. There needs to be some balance, and more depth to their policies before I even consider them a party worth voting for.
