Who will you vote for?

Re: UK General Election 2005
 

I'm not sure how it works with voting over here but if Blunkett doesn't start grounding himself in reality I won't be voting Labour.

Re: UK General Election 2005
 

Perhaps this should be "who will you be voting against" or "can you even be bothered to vote because they're all as bad as each other?"!

Re: UK General Election 2005
 

I think there should be a section for 'other' such as UKIP - not that I will be voting for them.

Quite simply, I was prepared for New Labour to make a difference to this country. I didn't expect the difference to be to the detrement of practically everyone in it - so there is no chance that they will get my vote next time around.

I've touched up the poll to include further options.

Re: UK General Election 2005
 

Can you include a ' I have absolutely no idea but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it' option?

Fer goodness its ages away yet.I'm not even ready to think about Crimbo 2004 let alone some undefined date in 2005. :rolleyes:

That's exactly the way that i feel about it. although i suppose with all the parties having their conferences now, we will start getting bombarded with election Propaganda soon enough.

I assume your expecting one postal one from where your parents live and one at Uni. You'll be moved off one of those electrol registers so you still only get one vote.

Besides, 2 votes is illegal and I'm sure the fuzz would invite you to 'help them with there enquires' if you used them both.

Re: UK General Election 2005
 

No you don't - and be very careful about thinking you do, they record the fact that you have voted so it would be very easy to prosecute you.

Re: UK General Election 2005
 

It is perfectly legal for a student to be on two electoral registers (one at home and one at Uni). It is also perfectly legal for theat student to vote twice in local elections as they spend half their time in both places and so must have local representation.

However, AFAIK, it is illegal for a student to vote twice in the same election (General, European, etc.) but I do not know how much post-election checking is done to chase up anybody who has done so.

There are currently rumours that Blair is planning a suprise November election!

Re: UK General Election 2005
 

aww thats pooey, i wanted to give each party one vote and be nice and neutral ;)

as it happens all the elections there have been i haven't voted here in birmingham anyway, so is a bit of a moot point... :erm:

everyone knows labour will get in again anyway through some fiddle, proportional representation or wahtever it is that gives them more seats per vote? so what's the point? :shrug:

Re: UK General Election 2005
 

With 2 votes? By my calculations if you want to cover the main parties then you'd still be deficient in the votes dept. to the tune of 1.
