That sounds hard. You should switch to our dichotomous political system. You don't have to worry about things like actually knowing what you're voting for. You just just pick the color that you think most of your friends and family are picking. Or you can follow the other 47% of the nation and not vote at all. Hurray Americaland! |
|
I'm not voting - mainly because I haven't registered, but also because I don't particularly agree with any of the main parties. I would probably vote lib dem because they seem to be the most liberal (and I am very politically liberal), but I have a fairly cynical view of democracy and I'm therefore reluctant to participate in an election. I know people say that's not going to help, but I just don't want to vote if my heart isn't really in it. |

I know some of you aren't voting because you don't particularly agree with any parties, but this will be the case your whole lives . The idea is generally to vote for the lesser evil so that the party you REALLY don't want in power won't be. Also it's important for a country to have a good voter turn-out, or else it shows politicians that the people don't really care or pay attention, and that they can get away with doing stupid stuff. "Lowest voter turn-out in history" is the worst outcome of any election. Sometimes there's even an "abstain" option at the ballots. |

Well, since I'm only 16, I can't vote. But if I could, I'd be voting for the Lib Dems. All I've seen for the past couple of years is the Torys bitching about Labour, and Labour bitching back. The discussion show that was on yesterday proved this even further. |

Pretty much the same as Britain then. |

Anyone, so long as it isn't Labour. |

I'll be abstaining. I wish I could vote for Labour; Old Labour. A party that was created for working man's representation and actually represented working class interests, not this watered down centre right party that is a disgrace to great men like Bevan, Foot, Benn and Hardie. |

Whilst I agree that benefits are out of control, the Conservatives made a point about not paying people for not working in their budget response. |
|
I agree with Nick! |
|
Am I right in saying that Lib Dems need 49% of the vote for Nick Clegg to become prime minster? |
|
No, not really, it doesn't work like that. It's based on seats, not percentages of the vote taken. |

It sucks that the three main parties have no representation in Northern Ireland, meaning I can't vote for any of them. (Apart from the Conservatives who have some sort of deal with a local Unionist party) I enjoy watching the leaders' debates, but it's annoying every time I remember it doesn't matter who I'd rather have as PM. What's more, most of our local politicians are totally full of shit. |

Labour revealed their election anthem: |
|
Just noticed that the poll options for Lab, Con and Lib go red blue and yellow. |
|
Lol, BNP have 15% atm and I thought I was the only BNP supporter on DV |
|
Don't worry mate, your not missing out on much. Our politicians are a joke. Not only are they full of shit, as is the nature of politicians; they also lack the exceptional rhetoric and oratory abilities of some of the leaders across the pond. If the so called leader of my country is going to spend 40 minutes saying fuck all, I'd rather he did it in some style. |
