    Just wondered if anyone on here was voting tomorrow and is so, who for?

    It'll be the first time I vote and I've always been left wing so I'm voting Labour. Have to get Cameron and his chums out as they don't give a flying **** about normal people, only the rich. He brags about bringing unemployment down but the jobs he has got people are mostly on 0 contract hours or apprenticeships that people don't want to do but are forced too. We have over 1 million people using food banks in the 5th richest country in the world. He's killing the NHS, and he isn't doing anything to stop big corporations getting away with paying hardly any tax because he's to much of a weasel to do anything about it! and to top it off he's a smug ****!

    ed miliband is the biggest bellend in the country but david nick and nigel are not far behind

    so i am still undecided, it is hard choosing the one that isn't as much of a bellend

    Choose the one that promises the least.....'cos most decisions are influenced
    by factors beyond their control!

    Normally Labour, but it's a toss up this time between who I dislike the least out of a pot of ****ers. I'm not wasting my vote but it's been a hard choice this time.

    Labour - I think they'll have less seats than the Tories but will form the next Government within a few weeks.

    It will Milliband, SNP and Unite.

    May the Lord help us.

    they were winning yesterday. I would much rather have Ed Milliband and Nicola Sturgeon than David Cameron and Nigel Farage!

    I am a labour supporter, but here in west Dorset that stuck up ****er Oliver Letwin has our seat, the guy who introduced the poll tax to Thatcher, recently we paid for work carried out on his tennis courts etc and such a smug ****, so i'll have to use the tactical vote going for the lib dems as as they are the only party with enough voters to push him out.

    Never ever in my life have I voted for anyone other than the Lib Dems.

    I have hated Labour and the Tories in equal measure - although I did quite like Blair before he became hypnotised by Bush and dragged us into an illegal war - which we (and the Iraqi's) are still suffering the aftershocks of (but thats another story).

    This time round though, I can scarcely believe that I am coming to the very reluctant and painful conclusion that I am going to vote for the Conservatives, for 3 reasons:
    1. The thought of a weak Labour government being dominated by an English-hating Scottish facist is terrifying beyond my worst nightmares.
    2. The last thing our economy needs is the instability of massive change. We are (either because of, or despite the Tories) beginning to see the economy stabilise and grow. A change of government now would give birth to uncetainty which would be potentially damaging.
    3. I can't guarantee that the Lib Dems won't switch sides and join a Labour/SNP Axis of evil.

    I think I will wear a mask and gloves when I do vote for them, so that I can't be associated with the hienious act.

    And Mrs R&W isn't speaking to me about it - she is a staunch Labour. The poor fool doesn't see it, but she won't be told!

    Can't vote yet but this is how I see it:

    UKIP are racist and deluded
    The Greens are deluded as to the effects and funding of their policies
    The Lib Dems broke their promise on tuition fees
    And Conservatives are a bunch of Burlington club rich Etonians with no respect for anyone who isn't filthy stinking rich

    Which just leaves labour left

    Are we seeing it though ?
    Prices continue to rise, wages rise but at a slower rate.
    And the old, the poor, the sick, students and anyone who isn't in finance or law is getting royally shafted by the public schoolboys in blue

    I won't be voting on principle and because I don't have a polling booth anywhere close.

    The entire world is in turmoil and governments haven't got a clue how to run a country and England is no different than anywhere else. Having followed the pre-amble with interest I'm afraid I don't see anyone who is capable, or willing, to change the course of the mess that was the "green and pleasant land".

    Any government that can fool an entire country in to believing that unfettered immigration will add to the ethnic diversity and overall harmony of the population is living in a dream world, or should it be nightmare? The entire U.K. is in meltdown and until such time as someone steps up and says this has to stop and does something to change the course of destiny in British politics the situation will just deteriorate further and the taxpayers will have their pockets robbed yet again.

    I like the potential of Nigel Farage but there is an element of doubt in my mind as to whether he is living on the same planet and will actually live up to his supposed promises, or will he bail out as is usual for most politicians when the messy stuff hits the rotating thing?

    When I went to Wembley it was the first time I had the opportunity to see a large swathe of the capital since living there in the mid sixties and I found the whole experience an eye opener and a sad reflection on what has been allowed to happen to my birth country. There were many times when I actually wondered if I was really in England and whether I would be safe walking these sullied streets at any time, yet alone late at night.

    The time is close at hand when the leader may not be what you expect, or have wished for, and the new policies take you further down the road called political and human rights correctness.

    Good luck with whoever is voted in to power and have a great summer all you 606ers.

    voted green, for the first time, normally a staunch socialist, but show me the diference now?,luckily the green candidate is a local businesswoman ( runs a good independant pub) who actually lives in the borough, big on local issues, unlike the arse in north somerset who sat on fence over the stadium issue.

    I would vote for Green but it's a waste of a vote as not enough people vote for them... Shame really.
