    The above link helps with the
    Confusion as to which UK political party you should vote for

    it's completely anonymous does away with voting for 'personalties' and your results may surprise you!

    Going by what appeals to me the and current policies offered suggested Green Party - I was quite surprised tbh

    Mate, a Labour/Libdem government would be the best outcome for mental health.

    55% Labour..33% Lib Dems..11% Tory...
    I'm a member of the Labour Party, so no surprise to me that this was the biggest percentage..However, I can't understand at all how the Lib Dems and Tories got in there and the Greens didn't...Strange one..
    I'm glad to say that UKIP didn't get a look in though..I would have demanded an inquest..

    I'll take your word for it mate, I honestly don't know enough about all policies across the board but I intend to take more interest from now on so I can find myself in politics and which side of the fence I really belong on <ok>

    From what I've heard it will be either Cons/Labour with SNP the deal breaker for the coalition?

    Well Labour is very pro NHS and the Lib Dems are pro mental health investment, good combo for us. Let's face it, the Tories announcing a referendum on Europe tell us they'll be trying to form an Government with UKIP as it will be the main condition from UKIP on forming a Government. Will Ukip get the seats? quite possibly.

    Not sure what level your business is at but the Tories would most probably be best for you on that score. Tricky election for you fella, you need to weigh up your business and your health as there's a chance no one party will cater for both. I'd get my head into the manifestos if I were you fella.

    A vote for labour is a vote for labour, a vote for lib dems is a vote for labour, a vote for green is a vote for labour. a vote for the Tories is a vote for the Tories and a vote for UKIP is a vote for Tories. Those in Scotland voting for SIP could be the ones with the power here. They could hold all the cards in the end. Hung Parliaments man. A sure sign everyone is **** but **** for different reasons.

    Christ, it is a lot I need to take in isn't it? In all honesty I'll probably abstain from voting this time, would hate to put the wrong party in then find out I've done myself an injustice <doh>

    Not that my vote is gunna ****ing change anything like but you get the idea, I hope!

    Have you taken Diddles test? Clever site mate, would help you to make a decision and may save hours of sifting through policy proposals.

    Totally disagree with this bit..A vote for the Lib Dems, Greens, UKIP or in Scotland the SNP will allow the southern Tory vote to win through..For me it is a straight choice of whether you want to vote for a party who will reduce taxes for the wealthy at the expense of the sick and poor (Tory's) or a party who will increase the taxes of the wealthiest in order to create a fairer society (Labour)...For me it is a no brainer..

    Well there's your order on which manifestos to read through. Good to see you're not a Tory. ;)

    It won't mate. Nobody is going to win a majority mate. No chance. These small parties matter in forming a government they'll decide if it's the Tories or Labour on who they're prepared to form a government with. They hold all the cards.

    I'm taking the responsible road now though and doing my research so I can decide for myself <ok>
