Bombadil Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I will finally be able to vote next general election, and quite frankly i have no idea who to vote for, there is no party that i can agree with. The only think i am sure of is it won't be Labour - Smoking Ban - E.M.A - Air Gun restrictions - no thanks. I want welsh national independence which Plaid will offer, but i don't want the flimsy government they will undoubtedly give. I agree with many of the Conservatives view points, and i think they will run a tighter ship, but i feel they are quite similar to new labour, and i am not a fan of the thatcher years. So who will you be voting for when the opportunity eventually shows itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Plaid Cyrmu for me, they seem to be the party for Scotlands needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Would love to vote plaid but they are not yet strong/mature enough to take us to independance. Unfortunately i see our imediate future tied into that of England and hope that ourselves and our likeminded countrymen in the south west of England can achive some degree of self control.

Paul223 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I want welsh national independence which Plaid will offer, but i don't want the flimsy government they will undoubtedly give Plaid = labour IMHO. I agree with many of the Conservatives view points, and i think they will run a tighter ship, but i feel they are quite similar to new labour surely you mean new labour are quite similar to (modeled themselves on !) the Tories?, and i am not a fan of the thatcher years Try researching the Unionist labour years before thatcher, Maggie did us a big favor So who will you be voting for when the opportunity eventually shows itself?

Bombadil Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 @ Paul. I agree that Plaid is quite similar to labour, this is why i know it will have a flimsy government , but it will campaign for Wales, and i believe in people being able to rule themselves. I think Labour has moved to the right, and Torys to the left, so now on both their parts they have become very similar partys. The problem i have with Thatcher is she destroyed the public transport system, changed the economic structure of Britain to be more reliant on foreign countries, changed the education system to a more business like environment which caused class discrimination and put focus on money, not learning and then there is the Falklands war. I think it is quite fashionable to hate Thatcher these days which is pretty daft, i can understand that she did do some good, but because of the reasons above, it really has tainted the Tories for me.

SA1Gunner Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 BNP For Me, Britain's Only Hope. If you don't care about Britain and want it to carry on going downhill, for vote any of the liblabcon, they are as bad as each other and that goes for the sheeple who vote for them. People don't like The BNP because we tell the truth, and a lot of people can't handle the truth, you check out the main BNP site and tell me one policy you don't agree with.

Billy. Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Labour :lol: :blink: :good: :no: Only joking, I'll be voting Conservatives, do you really think I'd give that idiot another chance! Gordon Brown apparently went to see Mugabe and told him "You can't be elected president if you're not voted in by your people" :good: Funny that...

RhiannonBW Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I will vote for whichever candidate I like the most who is standing in our ward. I am less bothered about party politics and more bothered to have a decent person representing me who will stand up to his/her party if they are out of line. Our current (Labour) MP isn't bad but could do a lot better. He has voted against his party on a couple of things. We've had some good independents put themselves forward and though they haven't got much chance of winning, I often support them with my vote because I like what they stand for. I don't believe in tactical voting (i.e. voting for conservative because no one else stands a chance against labour). It's that kind of thinking that has led to the lazy politicians and two-party mess we have these days. Rhiannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also believe this, voting for LPUK which have only been a party for over a year and probably have little chance of winning but I am not going to go back on my political principals to vote "for the lesser of two evils".

Wookie Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm half tempted to start my own party in time for the next election and then stand as an independent. I then have no problems choosing a candidate to vote for (it will be me) and I will agree with all of said candidate's policies ('cos they will be mine). I will also be _the_ alternative to Labour, the Tories and the Lib Dems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aled Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm like Rhiannon, i tend to vote for a person rather than a party. If there's a good candidate who i believe can give my family and i the best representation in Westminster then they get my vote. At the moment we have a Plaid member who is a hard working MP and is a local person. Vote for the person not the party. Cheers Aled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEFTY478 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Although not a fan of tactical voting, I must admit... I’d happily vote for a Pig nailed to a burning tree, if it meant one in the ‘hoop’ for Pa Broon and the rest of his ZaNu Liebour cronies. But in my little piece of Jerusalem, at least, PETA can stand down safe in the knowledge that No animals need be hurt in the ousting of the current ramble. And I look forward to our local Tory-boy (Gove) being a Minister in the Boy Dave’s next cabinet. Currently the Shadow Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families - Ironic really, as he does look like a bit of a Paedo. I am certainly not so blind, as to fail to see that the last Tory administration made plenty of their own mistakes, but I’m also old enough to be able to remember the end of Callaghan’s era, too. Compare and contrast the 1979 end and inevitable demise next year of the current Labour shame: Billions of £’s in debt, going cap in hand to the IMF, bloated state wage bill, millions on the dole, short time working and taxation to the point of death for the remainder - to the prosperous Briton that Blair inherited, in May 1997. I know which one I preferred? Independence for Scotland/Wales? IMHO, any national who votes for that must be mad! Whilst I believe that it would actually be good for me (my taxes being spent here in England and not on propping up a Glasgow sink estate) and England as a whole - it would certainly mean the end for the Labour Party here - reduced to a minor irritant in the hardcore socialist areas’ of London, Liverpool, Birmingham, Gtr Manchester and Yorkshire - without their Welsh and Scottish MPs, the best Labour could hope is around one seat in eight, in an all English Parliament.

I know which one I preferred? History repeats. The Torys will again inherit a bankrupt Country and I hope they can pull it out of the bag again. By the time they do, then we will have grown tired and a new generation of trendy voters will come along with short memories and Labour will get back in. And so it goes round.

Not as it seems independant but still being subsidised by the rest of us. Council tax is massively subsidised by the rest of us, all we've gained is another load of politicians to pay for and another level of paper pushing and thats before I even start on the cost of the Scottish assembly building. That guy Hadrian had the right idea Personally anyone who votes Lib dem needs their head examined and told to look at what they will tax you, so really any vote not for the Tories might as well just be a vote for Labour, They needed to go at the last election as they were building up to this however they have overstayed and the country is in deep poo. Conservatives will at least get public spending under control which will go some way to help but personally I can't see an easy way out of the debt the country is getting into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
