UK general election 2015
 

Who are you voting for? Or are you undecided?

probably tory but undecided.

No offence to you but I really don't understand how people can still vote Tory after the last five years and that is me not including Thatcher. Oh well. I will probably vote for the Green party or Labour.

I am very much of the attitude as long as UKIP or any other extremists don't get in I'm not really bothered who is in charge of the country.

This is because I am aware that we will never be happy with who we are going to get. I still haven't decided who to vote for myself and am actually researching all my local candidates (except the UKIP one who had an argument with me on twitter the other day) before I make my decision.

Dont know who im voting for. Dont really get the tory hate. I dont like them but i dont like labour either. They are both the same and only in it for themselves.

Dont really know how anyone can vote labour after blair and brown. ruined the economy and milliband is not a prime minister..

Ukip racists... ill probably waste my vote and vote green...

They hardly ruined the economy. The economy would have crashed no matter who was in charge and I do remember the Tories saying they were willing to spend as much as Labour before the crash.

one reason I am thinking of voting tory is to stop ukip winning in our constituency.

Yes it would have crashed but the damage could have been a lot less if they had been more responsible with the publics money.

Anyway, labour and tory are two sides of the same dirty coin.

My understanding of the recession is that it started in America.

But there are more parties than just Labour and conservative.

Did anyone see the debates? I watched the first one but only caught the last of the second. Pretty interesting for the most part, if slightly annoying when they were bickering.

Isn't that what they do in parliament? Bickering?

Well they also decide on major policies that have a huge influence over our lives.

Having watched last night's TV debate involving Milliband and the leaders of the lesser parties, I'm quite clear that the very last person I would vote for would be Nicola Sturgeon. In my book she is the most dangerous person in the entire UK: she not only continues to want to break up the UK despite the SNPs clear defeat in last year's vote re Scottish independence but all the signs are that she'll be pressing for a further referendum just as soon as possible (many of my acquaintances, listening to her interminable whingeing about Westminster, take the view that she and Scotland should bugger off now, and good riddance); she and the SNP are committed to abandoning Trident on principle and leaving ourselves vulnerable to nuclear blackmail by whatever unpredictable states succeed in obtaining nuclear weapons in the future - sheer lunacy (as were the well-meaning but misguided attempts by Bruce Kent and the Greenham Common women all those years ago).

And, for me, I found the almost universal prejudice in the debate against austerity to be hugely depressing. Of course there has to be austerity you idiots - we've been living beyond our means for years and nobody is going to bail us out for nothing. Debts have to be paid off, whatever the pain, and no matter how much we may feel that somebody other than ourselves should do it, the pain has to be borne. I read a figure recently that suggested that just paying the interest on our national debt was costing us £45billion a year - if true, that's more than we spend on defence. I freely admit that I'm no economist, but we surely can't go on like this indefinitely unless we're happy to bequeath even greater debt to our children and grandchildren - as a memorial to our selfishness and profligacy.

Meanwhile, both the major political parties continue to try to bribe the electorate with yet more unaffordable goodies in the run-up to the election. Both the major players are equally guilty and I suppose they'll say that voters have to have something to encourage them. I remain sceptical and wary of bribes but, at the end of the day, I personally feel that economic stability and growth are the best way out of our present situation - but growth that does not require yet more borrowing on top of the hundreds of billions (actually a trillion and a half) which we've already borrowed.

Come 7 May I shall be voting for the party which I believe will offer the best prospect of financial stability and growth, without which nothing ...

Tony.

I have a conundrum because my local MP is amazing, she cares passionately about our village, however I don't want to vote for her party as a whole.

Vote for me Irene. I will make you queen of the world.

I think it'll be interesting to see how much the lib dem vote has been affected by them backtracking on the tuition fees and allowing the rise given those who are facing those fees are now at the age to vote!

^ and the whole backtracking on bedroom tax. I think they've ****ed it up for themselves

I dont know who to vote for. I prefer the Socialist Labour Party, but I know that they have very little chance. According to an online poll/quiz I took I should vote for Plaid Cymru, but I think the Labour Party have the most realistic chance of getting in.

I don't know who I will vote for as I have issues with all the parties whilst liking individual policies of them all as well.

The online poll I took said Conservative and Greens equally.

I would never vote UKIP

I'm voting for the first time this year.
I'm still mostly undecided but definitely not UKIP!!! Not a huge fan of the tories either tbh.
And they're pretty much all full of rubbish anyway.
