That's how I feel. Unfortunately, this shower of pseudo conservative rubbish may not get my vote this time. Might have to be UKIP......

Personally, any party that would stop immigration, help people between 25 and 50 get back into work, held a referendum on the EU and gave Scotland independence would get my vote at next election.

As it stands at the moment, Cameron gets my vote. I've voted for pretty much every party but Liberals. Cannot support Clegg, they way he has acted during this government has been like a petulant spoilt little brat. Quicker he steps down from Leader the better.

Where's the option for "None of the above" I see that option becoming more popular these days.

I change my vote depending on the election. I'll happily vote SNP for Scottish Parliament elections even though I'm a firm believer in the union and will be voting NO when Admiral General Salmond has his referendum.

That said after this lot of useless and corrupt numpties I doubt I'll ever vote conservative again unless there is real change in their leadership and direction.

I think the poll results in this thread give the lie to the frequent moans from certain people that this is a Tory forum.

Yes indeed Chris and it looks like the Lib Dems would lose their deposit in nearly every seat.

The Libs had some good ideas in the GE but they ended up being Camerons butt crack loofer

No matter who you vote for, you always get the government.

Yes I read the link & I realise how my wish for a totally different system is up there in cloud cuckoo land.

However I'm not sure there isn't room for any change, at all. Allowing more free votes in parliament would be one suggestion. I don't see that voting against party lines is always going to over-ride the needs of the country.

The last time I voted was in 1997, and as I've said before I was not voting for Labour, I was voting against the Tories. I may do so again in 2015, if we last that long. What I want, knowing it's impossible, is to have politicians who don't want power.

I don't bother to vote, because they all seem to be one in the same.
They all seem equally incompetent.
