I am obliged to vote because my Dad fought a war to give me that right.
You should not vote because it encourages the politicians.
If you don't vote you can't complain.

Cameron will stay on for as long as it takes for Miliband to jump into bed with Nicola Sturgeon.

Ed Miliband running the country. Good God. I would t trust him to walk my dog.

Miliband concerns me as a potential leader. Balls fills me with dread as a potential chancellor.

A repeat of the Tory-LibDem coalition further fleshed out with DUP and a couple of UKIPs imo. Miliband and Balls to be thrown out on their ear and Labour appoint someone who will wipe the floor with the Tories the next time round.

I'm not voting this time. Fucked up getting my postal vote sotred.

I know it does it for a lot of people but it's not my cup of tea.

I'm not bothering to vote, it would take a meteorite hitting tunbridge wells for the Tories not to get in.

I have to vote tactically in my constituency in order to keep the tories out. I hate having to do it (voting tactically that is) but it's necessary in this case, and with the present voting system.

BTW. Anyone that doesn't vote deserves a swift toe end in the nads (see Bert).

Can't believe how much this is turning into a popularity contest. You're voting for the party, not the person. Even if you were, how can you think Miliband is a bigger cunt than Cameron ?

Miliband is trying to come across as fairly moderate now but we'll see his true colours when he's in. He's a proper lefty who will ruin the economy with his warped idea of fairness and by appeasing his king makers in the TUC. On a global level, the likes of Putin must be licking their lips at the prospect of dealing with him.

how can he make the economy any worse? more foodbanks with more people using them? lower employment rates thanks to more 0 hour contracts? more wage freezes in the public sector? shit, i got my first incremental pay rise since 2008 this year - 0.4% cost of living increase and 0.6% cost of living increase. pre-tax that means i could buy a creme egg every day in february, providd a get the 2 for £1 deal. cameron has hardly been stellar on the international level either. it's a poor choice of prime minsters from a shit selection, but odds on no party could really do worse than the current incumbants. it has made me chuckle that the tories election campaign appears to centre around not voting labour because you'll get the snp as well, which is admirable xenophobia really. and ignores how well sturgeon seems to have done in all the debates, from what i caught of the approval ratings from them anyway. nothing on policy or anything, just "vote labour, get salmond". dave also neatly sidestepped the issues of family tax credits and child benefit changes in those recent debates, something he promised he wouldn't do in 2010 and then promptly did anyway, in the process shafting those "hard working families" that he loves so much. maybe because he can get balls-deep fucking them and they still vote for him. cat fingerer has roundly pissed off the trade unions anyway, and then come out and said no coalition with the snp, which means if they do form a coalition it may well be the greens, seeing as they seem to be the preferred protest/swing/floating vote over the lib-dems.

anyway, it all boils down to this -

When did Miliband rule out a coalition with the snp? Every time ive seen him being asked the question he side steps it by saying he thinks he can get a majority. Any snp gains will be off labour which won't matter when they form a coalition. Labour won't be able to form a government without them and Miliband knows that. The economy has been doing remarkably well, especially when compared to the rest of Europe. The UK has created more jobs than the rest of Europe put together, and the 0 hours thing is just something Miliband had fixated on because he got Cameron to say he couldn't exist on a 0 hours contract. I'd like to know exactly how many people actually go into work and have to turn around again, not many I expect, and the alternative under labour would be full unemployment. Miliband talks about redistribution of wealth and social justice like they're the same thing, but there's nothing fair about further taxing the people who already contribute the vast majority to the public purse. He talks like we're still living under the feudal system, but there's nothing stopping anyone with brains and a good work ethic from rising to the top of the pile these days.

As for xenophobia- how many votes do you think the snp will be getting in England? Any gains they get will be purely down to xenophobia rather than Nicola Sturgeon winning over the hearts and minds of people elsewhere in the UK.

Clearly you've forgotten what the previous lot did with the economy, which was absolutely nothing to do with Ed Balls whatsoever. Definitely not. :(

Said this today to Abbatoir Blue - I wouldn't be massively concerned about a Labour-led coalition if they didn't have Miliband and Balls in charge. They are a pair of walking disasters imo and should never get anywhere near government again.

We did rather well in the 1930s and during the war with anational government. Best men in the right jobs and no party politics. As the present lot on both sides are so crap maybe we should think about it again

Ed Moribund tells us the Labour Party have learned the lessons from their last term in office. I'd give this more credence if they weren't putting up him as PM and Ed Balls as Chancellor of the Exchequer.
