Whats folks views on the Lib Dems?
Wasted vote?
meh snp
our lib dem run local council is very good, the previous tory one was as bent as a corkscrew... they even sold off a kids play park.... but the local lib dem candidate is a complete tw4t.. labour don't even turn up here, and the tory mp doesn't do very much....but we are a foxhunting constituency, and even though most people don't like hunting, they hate being told what to do even more......... leicestershire county council is tory again, and the government has handed down some horrendous budget cuts on us, but most people don't know about it yet
i'd vote snp & plaid cymru given the chance
BNP or UKIP all the way lol

IF I vote, as they're all horrible liers, ill have to vote conservitive, they're the lesser evil on this.
Labour are trying to gloss over the fact that Mr Brown had ruined this economy and is doing nothing but raising taxes to combat the situation.
Lib Dems, are saying that they're trying to distribute power and taxes "Fairly" however as there are people living on a low income why should they pay the same type of tax who has a higher income?
UKIP are just going to open the doors to every immigrant who want in, and their "Fair" policy on getting into the country is just going to end up in a farce.
BNP, less said about the racist sods the better
if the greens get in then we have the issue that they will ban all things that hurt mother earth.
Sod it, im voting Monster Raving Loony party! that or starting my own.
lmfao at labour with one vote!

wrong attitude.......
all politicians have to do stuff that is unpopular (labour has made it an artform), but you have to look at what they stand for...... each party has a particular big thing.
tories always try to cut taxes & cut public spending
labour put up taxes & raise public spending
lib dems would love to have a go on the controls & they know they are in between the other two in policies
BNP want anyone who isnt nick griffin to FCUK OFF
SNP want independence from england, even though they really know that they couldn't afford it....
plaid cymru want to make all the other people in wales speak welsh
all the ulster parties want to keep falling out with each other, so the stormont assembly gets suspended so they can claim the money & do sod all
ukip want to brick up the channel tunnel & cover whats left with twigs

From the post i put up last year lol
SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
You give one to your neighbour.
COMMUNISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and gives you some milk.
FASCISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and sells you some milk.
NAZISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and shoots you.
BUREAUCRATISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk
away.
TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.
SURREALISM
You have two giraffes.
The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows.
Later, you hire a consultant to analyze why the cow has dropped dead.
ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND VENTURE CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of
credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity
swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back,
with a tax exemption for five cows.
The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a
Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells
the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company.
The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one
more.
You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States , leaving you
with nine cows.
No balance sheet provided with the release.
The public then buys your bull..
A FRENCH CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You go on strike, organize a riot, and block the roads, because you want
three cows.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and
produce twenty times the milk.
You then create a clever cow cartoon image called 'Cowkimon' and market it
worldwide.
A GERMAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk
themselves.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows, but you don't know where they are.
You decide to have lunch.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You count them and learn you have five cows.
You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and
learn you have 2 cows.
You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
A SWISS CORPORATION
You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you.
You charge the owners for storing them.
A CHINESE CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You have 300 people milking them.
You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity.
You arrest the newsman who reported the real situation.
AN INDIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You worship them.
A BRITISH CORPORATION
You have two cows.
One is mad and the other has had to be put in storage because of the health
and safety risks of milking it.
AN IRAQI CORPORATION
Everyone thinks you have lots of cows.
You tell them that you have none.
Nobody believes you, so they bomb the crap out of you and invade your
country.
You still have no cows, but at least you are now a Democracy.
AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
Business seems pretty good.
You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate.
A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION
You have two cows.
The one on the left looks very attractive.
THE HOUSE OF COMMONS ECONOMIC MODEL
You are an MP and have one cow.
Your boss says he can't give you a pay raise as it wouldn't go down well with the voters.
Instead he tells you to buy a second cow on credit and charge the interest to expenses,
then milk it for all it's worth.
You buy a moat to prevent it from escaping and put a floating duck house in the moat so
the cow has the company of wildlife.
You buy a a three piece antique leather suite to sit on so you can be comfortable while
milking the cow and of course a 50" plasma TV and two DVD players.
Then you redecorate the cow.
All of which you claim on expenses.
Now you 'FLIP' your cows, and milk your original cow for all it's worth too.
This time you buy it several imitation Tudor oak beams, an italian portico and a BBQ for those
fine summer evenings, oh plus a couple of porn videos and a bath plug.
Now you flip your cows again to avoid Capital Gains Tax, treat the secondary one as a cash cow, and sell it for a large
profit, pocketing all the money.
Continue claiming interest on the cost of the cow you sold 6 months earlier, then retire
on the very large pension the public have so kindly, if unknowingly, provided for you.
UKIP are just going to open the doors to every immigrant who want in
How'd you figure that? A vast majority of our immigration is from Europe (mainly France, who as per usual just pass the buck onto us)
As for the main 3; Tories will be useless tbh, as there's nothing left for them to sell to raise money. Labour need outing purely as a lesson on how crap Brown has been. Lib dem... seriously, wtf lol
nick, big government didn't do the speed humps, it was north warwickshire council......... according to local legend, they even got their L shaped council offices the wrong way round in the plot........
they are the single cause why atherstone lost most of the shops & businesses in long street, 15 years ago, that place was buzzing.....they took 18 whole months to repave & one way long street. they forgot the drains on the first time, the second time, they did these funky stone inlays on the humps & they were too slippery, by the time they got it right, 30 odd business had shut

dont you have a digger, ill vote for you :thumb:
If you dont vote you cant whinge about what the 'new' lot do to the country!
Even if you just vote for who ever is at the bottom of the list, you've still made your mark that you are entitled to by rights. If you dont you are just saying 'Yeah carry on Labour, you are great , please keep up the sterling work'

20 years ago, i was living in oxford & the clever b4stards invented speed humps there, i had a mk1 astra on stock springs, good gas dampers, gte ARB's & 175/70 r 13 tyres. it could take humps at 55-60mph, and still go round corners..............it also had the e16se i still have in my nova

Yes Jack, the vast majority is, because being part of the EU means that we have to let people from other EU countries emigrate here, where as is we remove ourselves from the EU we then open to doors to the rest of the world! will end up buried in anyone who wants in!
They say that they have a "Fair" system for letting people in, however most people will fudge their claims to get into the country, right now were limited on HAVING to let people in from the EU and we can pick and choose within certain limits on whoelse comes in. With their policy to pick and choose EVERYONE I can see it getting much much much worse!
no need baz, if its like the rest of the council handiwork, they will fall off soon
that and the half million price tag lol, anyway im more bothered with the local authorites,they waste money like nothing ive ever seen but and never held accountable, i dont care about who is in no10 i just want my street kept clean and the potholes fixed.
great......the 2 examples as to why it was failing that were mentuioned on the radio was that the leader was not a professional politician, and 2 kids beat the hell out 2 other kids........ i'm sure there was much more, ie: massive corruption & jobs for the boys.........

they investigated the whole of the council grouping things into 6 catogories in all 6 they came up totaly unsatisfactory, and there was no sight of it inproving so they took control they said on the local news there were still concerns over donny gate which was a massive corruption thing about 15tears ago and this was still affecting things
They just said on the news the main two things people are intrested in are immagration and finances, they never mentioned speedhumps!

I shall vote for the blues. Labour just seem to have it all wrong. Maybe a change in government is what this country needs!!??
well it worked last time... despite the 'lower classes' bitching about thatcher lol
I am voting but as of yet I'm not sure who.
thatcher took us to war & became a legend, blair took us to war & became a bellend.....
so then, get a new party in and go kick Argentinas ass.... seems like a good way to kick off proceedings :)

^^^ agreed, although should be "if you claim the dole you have to clean the pavements to earn anything more than enough to exist, eg for sky/fags/booze etc)"
Seriously though, it should be law to vote and there should be a "none of the above" option for those who do feel its a farce/waste of time, so that there is a proper vote of no confidence as the spoilt papers go in the "youre a creting who cant even mark an X" bin
in australia they fine you if you don't vote.

their the only ones that want to sort out the millions of eastern Europeans coming over here.
Send them all back IMO
bnp could actually get mp's this time......... i think it would actually be good for parliament because it will get more of the public taking notice in whats going on down there....1 bnp mp won't make any difference anyway, the snp & plaid cymru lot are just as racist, but theirs is based on accent, not colour

labour has done a fantastic job of devaluing the pound, thus making their earnings/savings worth less, and the brothels / lap dancing bars / airport cafe's would suddenly have no staff
tbh only vote for BNP if you know why you are doing it... eg read more than the pretty bits they publish lol

Yeah but there is too many people in this country, Polish/eastern europeans steal jobs, cause more fights that the British in pubs/clubs, round here anyway, more country side taken up by housing for them, unisured Polish cars everywhere, can walk into this country and get housing benifit, child benifit, all without paying any national insurence at all, WRONG.
SEND THEM BACK !!
I'd only send the jobless ones back... and export our dole scums that wont do the work that the poles are doing because they think they are too good for those jobs.

its funny that, cos since the start of WW2, there has been a sizeable polish community in the east midlands & there are far more troublesome groups than them

we have one driving for us & he is doing twice the work that the previous driver did & he is 100% legal
Not even bothered to take notice of any of the blox any parties are currently preaching so with that in mind my vote wont get used.
On the other hand, if i have my way i dont intend on being in this country for many more years so i couldnt really give a monkeys who gets into power & what miserable bs they bring into force either.
Lib dems will be getting in again down here.

20-04-10, 02:34 PM
I will be voting conservative, although as far as im aware round here is already a safe tory seat.
I cant remember the last tory government but i definately remember blair and brown, and more of the same is just a depressing thought.
/\ ask someone who does remember it, then have a think.
there again try to find someone who remembers the last lib dem govt....lol
the last tory government couldn't have been that bad, cos labour rode on all of their policies for the first term of office,
yes the eighties were a tough decade, because of the need to rid the government of the nationalised industries that they simply couldn't afford to run. i know this was hard, but it is true. our cars were crap, our trains were never that good, i still remember the power cuts because of industrial action.. just wait for the power cuts because there aren't enough power stations in britain for the immediate future..... all because of the labour governments fear of bringing in nuclear power.....
the lib dems are a good thorn in the side of the other 2, just look to america, where a 2 party system has been in for ever....... obama got the job cos the republicans didn't want to have to sort out the mess.......
'legalise supprise butt secks'
You didn't tell me you'd started your own political movement!

It makes me laugh that, all those who say they wont vote "cos they all talk bollox"
Course they talk bollox,they get paid to.At the end of the day vote for the party that benefits YOU and your FAMILY,because thats all that matters.Me i think i'll vote labour,because David Cameron will reduce tax credits which in turn means me and my family will have less money.People also dont seem to realise that Conservatives are more for the "middle class".
/\ what i said 4 posts above.....:d

the tax credits are only only to be cut for people who are on middle class earnings, they are keeping them for the lower income families......
now i'll have a rethink...........
what is middle class earnings though? Two people earning £30K each isnt exactly "novel" and its certainly not high flying middle classness either. But if you do earn that you are **** out of luck for any form of assitance.
I'd sooner take short term cuts in my dosh to ensure a longer term better lifestyle which is how this country is and needs.
in australia they fine you if you don't vote.
And belguim!
Should do the same here, force people to actually make a decision rather than moan that the country is crap when they never bothered voting to help change things.

Its not the ones who work and pay taxes like they should that get me, I once worked with a fella who come to England legally, bought an English car, got his wife (again polish and legally working) up the duff, and flew back to Poland so she could have their son! Thus meaning he was polish! so he paid his tax, national insurance, rented a flat, road tax, insurance, etc etc.
Its the ones who come here, get themselves a council house, mooch off the dole, whilst working on the sly, driving about in polish cars usually without insurance. doing there best to get a British passport so that they can stay in "The English Haven". THEY pi$$ me off something rotten, they are the ones who should be sent back.
However, immigration does need to be stemmed, to keep the useless people out and let the people who can fill skills gaps in! ;)

I dont know everything about all parties involved, but I will vote for anyone tangably supported enough to get Labour out, thats it plain and simple.
OR vote for whoever hs something on their website that makes you smile/want out of life.
