    To be honest, I was undecided.

    Then one day a wise poster started telling me about the Greens. 500K new homes.

        “If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”

        Nuff said. Tory for me!! Let's not try and fix that which is not broken.

          Against my better judgement, I'm not voting for someone rather I'm voting tactically against someone

          To be fair our prospective MP and local Councillor seems to be doing a good job, and drawing on real life experience in their fight against local authorities and health boards but that's not why I'm really voting for them
          Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

          No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

              Where I live, my vote won't alter the outcome one jot. Even if I lived in a marginal the choice of the main governing party would be Lab or Con, or as I think somebody on here put it, two cheeks of the same arse. So I 'waste' my vote for a party that best matches my political philosophy/idealology but which has no real chance of power.

              But I least I refrain from caricaturing those of a different stripe...

                and I reject the vicious right wing implication that our manifesto has to be paid for.

                  There's no option for Not Voting for Anyone.

                  I've given this enough thought & there's nobody whose name I want to place an X next to on polling day.

                  Labour - never in a million years, Lib Dems - have done in the past but they are too blighted with loony left PC claptrap these days & as for the Conservatives - I just can't stand Cameron; the man is a complete fraud & I don't trust him.

                  Realistically, that just leaves UKIP; while they have some good policies which chime more with the way I think than the other parties, I'm not actually all that anti-EU (All the crap that people blame on the EU will still happen if we leave because the same sorts of people will be making the rules - it's just that they won't be able to use the weasel words "our hands are tied by the EU") so I guess they are out.

                  Oh, I see there is an Independent candidate who describes himself as "middle of the road leaning towards the right in terms of my political views" standing in Somerton and Frome. Think I'll go and check him out before I give up completely on the democratic process....

                    UKIP best of a bad bunch. Vote Lib/Lab/Con/Green and we'll be still be run by the EU so what's the point?
