    I voted Labour last time because I realised there was a sickening chance of the tories getting in (and we've seen what has happened since then. Remember though, guys, its all Labours fault! *rolls eyes*).

    But, let's be brutally honest. Government's are completely and totally out for themselves - they don't represnt people, they represent the minority. So I doubt I'll vote at all next time. Especially as Ed Miliband is such a ****ty leader with no backbone. New Labour are a joke.

    And it's a shame so many people have been sucked in by the Tories war on benefits idea. It's made people think that everyone who is on benefits is a scrounger or a cheat and makes people avoid the rich stealing money through tax evasion.

    I voted Labour for the following reasons.

    1. Knew it would be tougher to get a job under the Tories, as Cameron said he was cutting lots of jobs.
    2. Had a feeling a vote for the Lib Dems would push them nearer to going into power with the Tories.

    Oh how right I was.

    The fact Australia can preach about immigration (similar to the US) makes me laugh. Both countries are built on destroying an indigenous population's way of life.

    And the US even has a hypocritical bank holiday to celebrate the fact.

    The USA is so ****ed. They can't decide if they're the home of all immigrants or a place to protect some wacka Christian fundamentalists.

    I'm suprised actually. Thought i'd be a bit more central on the left/right scale.

    Following 2016 Constituency Border review:

    1 new constituency, the Borough of not606.

    The Candidates for the new MPship:
    - Ghandi
    - Dalai Lama
    - QWOP (i.e. asian Milton Friedman.)

    QWOP will probably win as the left vote is split between the two candidates...

    Actually just noticed i'm on almost exactly the same point as the Dalai Lama. Not sure whether that is something to be happy about though!

    He's done a marvelous job. People like my mum in the public sector have lost half of their pension, my friends and I will end up leaving University with £40,000 of debt, while the bankers who got us into this mess haven't paid ONE PENNY. Just to emphasise this point, NOT ONE piece of Tory Government legislation has been put in place to hold these scumbags accountable for their actions. They still get their million pound bonuses, while the NHS (which Cameron PROMISED not to touch) is slashed, the disabled, elderly and vulnerable lose their benefits. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12141725

    Cameron and his cronies regularly dine with these Inner-City Scum. Just like Brown, Blair, Major, Thatcher did previously. Cameron has only the interest of his City cronies at heart, just like the rest of his vile Party (the same applies for Labour), he will slowly suck the life out of the public sector, and by the time he is gone, all his pals will be laughing.

    How can anybody say that this buffoon is doing a good job?

    I haven't read the whole thread but, seriously, <applause><applause><applause><applause> to this. How on earth can anybody subscribe themselves to always voting for one particular party? This thread's question is pretty much unanswerable to me, because if I voted (which I don't, obviously) it would be for a party whose policies I had read into and agreed with.

    So let's say for example you're a "labour man", what happens if suddenly they change their policy on something, or things, which are pivotal to you and it now goes firmly against what you believe? Do you still vote for them unquestionably because they're "who you vote for"? What happens if another party suddenly changes policy to align themselves perfectly with your point of view?

    For this reason, to subscribe yourself entirely to one party does yourself quite an injustice in my opinion.

    Oh, and when we did these a while ago I got this:

    Which is roughly correct to what I'd say.
