you dont have to know about politics tiff. im guessing half the popluation only vote on personality and looks alone (no hope for the ginger!)

im going to vote for the first time. had to sort out a postal vote as away from home but the way i see it - if you dont vote then you cant moan!!

IMO voting should be mandatory for everyone eligible.. even if it's "none of the above" or "don't give a fook"
At least that way there is a recorded proper representation of what people think as a whole. At the moment a party can get "voted" in with a 'majority' that is smaller than the number of people that didn't vote at all, implying that they aren't in fact the ones that the true majority of people want!

DOO, if only you and everyone who thinks the same as you had voted for 'The Monster Raving Loony Party', or similar, politicians would be forced to change, for the BETTER.
Don't waste your vote m8.

My dad told me his theory when it came to my first vote:

Vote for the party that has the best chance of beating the one you want the least!

I think that makes sense!

I think its time for a different bunch of wankers to take the piss out of us for a few years!!

GO AND VOTE!!!! you must!!! people died for this right!

whilst i agree with the bit about you MUST vote, i don't agree with the philosophy of tactical voting.. all that means is you WILL just get a choice of two "bunches to take the piss out of us" and they end up getting pretty much alternate goes at having a laugh just cos people want a change for the wrong reasons.
If EVERYONE went out and voted for who they felt they wanted, the picture could be very different.. Instead a third of the people vote for the one of the pair they hate the least, and another third don't give a fook and don't bother. 30% of the eligible voting population determine who gets in ultimately because of this.... hardly the majority that we are led to believe eh??

You also gotta look at WHO goes and votes.

And who are they? Mostly old people.

Do you want old people deciding who runs this county?

I'll be voting like I have been eversice I turned 18

But surely if the current lot dont know what they are doing, maybe have a go at getting someone else in, see if they can't do any better

The Labour party now barely deserves the name. The working men who had to fight to even be allowed to vote (not to mention the women) would spin in their graves if they could see what it has been turned into. In many ways they are now more Tory than the Tories.

I'm lucky up here though, because I can and will vote SNP.

Whichever party gets in this country will still be a fuckin mess. My taxes WILL go up,so will everyone else's. The spongers will still sponge,criminals will still get away with murder,immigrants will still arrive by the thousand and get benefits and hospital treatment you and me paid tax to provide,and you're average Joe Bloggs will still get shafted for earning an honest living.

Wankers the lot of them.

Just my 2p.

Oh,and petrol will continue to be STUPIDLY taxed and expensive.
