Are you old enough to vote? :? (Apologies if you are I thought you were 16/16) :oops:

And not voting is pointless, it doesn't help the country what so ever and you can't complain if things are gooseberry fool as you've done nothing about it.

Labour though only because I actually like my local MP.

You absolutely can complain. Spoiling your ballot is better than simply not turning up though.

I imagine I'll still vote Lib Dems, despite everything.

UKIP.

common sence says we need to give some else a try, the big 3 are all shite.

green, please fool.

the others are localised to their own region, interesting to see we have DUP there and no sein fein if your talking northern irish politics.

i always get the feeling UKIP want to make britain like it was a hundred years ago, i like that idea, as long as we can keep central heating and take aways.

The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them in parliament.

Someone informed me I can abstain so I'll do that. I'm 21 dude, voted in the last election and everything.

I would vote Monster Raving Looney, but I don't believe we have a candidate where we live and only because I would want to troll the election.

On the serious side, I'd probably vote Conservative or Ukip, because I have no soul.

Quite interesting looking at results from The 'Who I ACTUALLY voted for' Thread:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=18424

Poll results wrote:Who DID you vote for?

Labour 21% [ 32 ]
Conservatives 19% [ 29 ]
Liberal Democrats 44% [ 67 ]
Other 4% [ 6 ]
Did not vote 12% [ 18 ]


With 1/3 of the votes so far, there's already a huge shift. Total collapse of Lib Dem support. Conservatives stay about the same. Massive rise for Labour (despite Ed Milliband being leader and Ed Balls being in the cabinet). And a rise for smaller parties, noticeably UKIP and the Greens who so far have more votes than the Lib Dems.

I think that could be quite consistent with a snap election. Certainly the Lib Dem support would be very low and the Tories would probably be unaffected in voter %. Labour though, that'd be interesting, I reckon Ed Milliband/Balls holds back Labour from attracting many of the swing voters, on this, I think GRCade's Labour % is too high.

Except on this poll we have no option for "other" or "did not vote" so we don't know if the Green and UKIP votes are going to them or being used instead of a general "other".

Either Libs (they've done what they could this term) or spoilage (thinking about drawing a little stick man on the picture)

I see a Sinn Fein MP sitting in the Palace of Westminster, you'll get that option.

Can't vote for any of them due to none running in Northern Ireland except the DUP, who can strawberry float off. I would hope Labour win though. Because at least if they screw up it will be entirely because they actually screwed unintentionally, rather than deliberately running with a flawed ideology and ignoring all dissent.

Vote Labour, because borrowing money beyond your means to jizz money over stuff which will buy you votes isn't a flawed ideology.

Vote Conservative, because nothing makes more sense than a turkey voting for Christmas.

At what stage did you become a Green voter? How did this dramatic change occur?
