Chris, I probably will spoil my ballot.

Another thing in an election that is apparently so close there has been no canvassers to my door, and one leaflet from the labour party.

Well the wonderful choice we have is the devil , the head with two devils and the head with three devils plus that lot called UKIP so a lot of thinking will needs to be done.

So true. I'm sick and tired of people claiming ignorance when they all have mobile phones with the means (if they could only divert them from social media for more than a nanosecond) to educate themselves about anything. These people don't lack the means, what they lack is the will to learn, the desire to find out. For the vast majority of us, there's really no reason to be ignorant today - there are no excuses.

Well there is, there's the latest level of candy crush to be completed, or, ooh look a video of a cat flying a helicopter.

The Conservatives are creating more jobs than ever before and they are bringing about a situation whereby nobody earning the minimum wage will pay tax.

They do need to encourage the rich to come and to stay in this country, because they are the wealth creators, without whom we would not be able to pay the generous benefits this country is renowned for.

Labour have no idea. They will frighten away those with money, they will demotivate those who work hard and tax us all half to death. They really are a bankrupt party both in their lack of ideas and in terms of the legislation they pass when they govern.

Personally, I care very much about the plight of the poor, but the Tories are the best party to deal with that. Contrary to the beliefs of the Socialists.

Yup but ask them who's PM and they haven't got a bloody clue what PM stands for let alone who's doing the job.

These same people all too often say stuff like "I can't afford to feed my kids...." blah, blah, blah... when they've made zero effort t find out how easy it is to produce a quick, cheap, simple and nutritious meal. Funny how they seem to have money for takeaways, nail jobs, hairdos, fags, booze, nights out etc. whilst their kids are supposedly starving however...

Thinking for themselves is just too much effort for these people, far easier to wait for someone to chuck more money and support at them to further reduce their need to think and act responsibly.

Re: General Election 2015: Voting intentions & general discussion
 

Well the party who will reward hard work, look after the NHS and ensure our money is well spent is the Conservative party.

They may not be in their best reincarnation at the present time, but they are the best we've got. If you don't vote for them, you'll let the others in. Don't say you weren't warned!

It won't prevent your worst nightmare getting in if you spoil your ballot paper though, will it Chris?

BREAKING NEWS

It's being reported that Nigel Farage has demanded an inquiry by the Electoral Commission into why Cable Forum's mini poll icon shows the 'blue' Tories well ahead despite the fact that the forum's own vote shows them sharing the lead with UKIP on 15 votes each.


:D

Re: General Election 2015: Voting intentions & general discussion
 

No not a strange perspective it's called facts and it might be twenty five years ago but it's the last time the tories formed a government, that should tell you something about what a grand job they made of it and for the record I've never voted labour, this time won't be any different.

The coalition sorted out the financial crisis did they?

I'd like to see proof of this

You got it in one Sir and first prize today is a coach trip with your favourite politician whoever that is.;):D

On the subject of Labour's unswerving support for the poor, another thread reminded me of this from the last Labour 'Govt'.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/...ar-owners.html

Yep, that would have helped the poor such a lot eh - just like abolishing the 10p tax band... :rolleyes:

Re: General Election 2015: Voting intentions & general discussion
 

No it won't. For those that absolutely cannot, with a clear conscience, support anyone, it is, however, a better option than simply sitting at home. The candidates hear the total of spoiled ballots and in a marginal seat they will know that the people who are politically engaged enough to turn up and write a poem, or draw a picture, had a vote up for grabs but withheld it. (it is often possible for the candidates representatives at the count to see what is on the papers in the spoiled pile)

15 million people who never vote will never change anything. 15 million people turning up and deliberately failing to support any candidate, show that they are engaged, listening, and waiting for something better. That might, just, in the long run, make a difference.

Not that it'll happen. They'd rather stay home, watch Jeremy Kyle and complain nobody told them anything, while sharing the latest alcohol-related meme on their Facebook wall.
