Conservatives.
I'd like to be persuaded that the Libs could make a majority on there own (& would have my vote instantly) but I have to go for the only option that can give this country hope. Because we desperately, desperately necessitate change after a truly, truly disastrous 13 long, painful years.
I just cannot see how or why anyone would ever want to vote Labour.

Reason: To clear up my position on the matter
Lib Dems. While they probably won't get in, I think they've got a higher chance this year than any other. I think people are starting to realise its not just a race between Torys and Labour, and that the Tory's don't have to win by defualt. I tend to just agree with everything the lib dems talk about, and I really like Nick Clegg and Vince Cable.
Wake me up before I change again
Remind me the story that I won't get insane
Tell me why it's always the same
Explain me the reason why I'm so much in pain.
^ Well, if you had increased pay, you'd also be paying more tax. It probably balances out at the end of the day.
Extremely good point, but at the same time, I'd take a grand rise in pay and have to pay say, an extra 400 tax, still an extra 600 quid
Sarah: Give me the child.
Jareth: Sarah beware. I have been generous up till now. I can be cruel.
Sarah: Generous? What have you done that's generous?
Jareth: Everything! Everything you have wanted I have done. You asked the child be taken, I took him. You cowered before me, I was frightening. I have reordered time. I have turned the world upside down, and I have done it all for you! I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me. Isn't that generous?
I can't vote yet (I miss it by a few measly months *growls* however if I could vote it would be Lib Dem, lesser of 3 evils.
It is so important to vote if you can though, even if it's for someone who won't have a chance at getting in, because the more people just opt out the more chance people like the BNP get seats.

I really don't know who to vote for except for I will not be voting Conservatives. It pains me to think that they have a good chance of getting in, I really don't agree with them at all.
You can't lose hope when it's hopeless.
You gotta hope more,
then put your fingers in your ears and go,
"Blah blah blah blah!"
It reminds me of a quote from the Vicar of Dibley (paraphrased):
Geraldine: Who did you vote for, Alice?
Alice: Well... I couldn't decide who to vote for, so I just put a BIG CROSS next to the Conservatives to make sure they definitely don't get in.
It's my first time voting, and I feel it's important to vote also to make sure the BNP dont get in.
On a side note, how do I know if I am registered? I had a poll card come through for local elections a couple of months ago. Does this mean I will be registered for the general election?
Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…
you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
I think we've just received our poll cards in the past week or so, since the general election was announced. It might be a good idea to find out... I can't remember how you do that. I believe you can register online, maybe try googling it.

I'll make sure I don't do that

I think it's just one poll card for the local and general election. We got ours here like a week before the general election date was announced and it says the correct date on it. I didn't think about it at the time though.
IF I was old enough to vote (I miss it by a few months) then I'd probably vote Monster Raving Loonies, simply because I don't agree with the main parties' ideals, so I'd make sure that it was one less vote that they had.

There is a website that you can check, if you google the general election it should come up.
Well I'll probably be voting Lib Dems, I've been wondering if I should just vote for Labour because Lib Dems won't get a majority but every vote increases their voice in parliament so that's important. I know there's been a few things in the media about people saying "If you like Lib Dem then vote labour because Lib Dems won't get in" But I don't really agree with that.
I think the main problem for the Lib Dems is people thinking a vote for them is a wasted vote, if every one who thought that voted for them they'd be in a much, much stronger position.
This year seems to be the yet for them too, which I good.
The Green party ofcourse have good environmental policies but they are weak as hell on everything else.
Not voting is just so wrong, if you think you don't know enough about the parties then research but be careful not to fall for all the pre election hoo-ha. I'm sick of it.

Did anyone see tonight's Live Debate? What did you think? Some people on the News are saying David Cameron was pretty strong, but I didn't think so. But then, maybe I'm biased towards Lib. Dem. I don't want to vote Labour anymore - I think any changes they want to make, they should have made in the last thirteen years. But then, I don't know if I could ever vote Tory.
I don't really understand the hate-principle against the Tories. I know people who no matter how perfect the Tory manifesto may match them, will not vote for them. It's a bit stupid.
