i agree clegg has come out looking best and gordon hasn't had a fuck up like he sometimes does in public speaking type things and cameron hasn't done well. When cameron said he had been to wherever and met a black man why didnt he just say someone who immigrated to this country? the colour of his skin had no bearing (sp?) on the story.
i do agree in part with cameron and clegg though that labour have been in govt for years and seem to have only just come up with some of these ideas which seems a bit late and desperate??

if the tories get in after this debacle i have no faith in this country whatsoever. i hope the libs get in, simply because they wouldn't know what the fuck to do.

so true, they'd wet their collective pants if they had to put their ideas into practise.

I know, but I think a lot of people are set in their ways and if they've always voted tory they still will. It needs young people to get more involved and vote for someone like lib dem to get it and I think there is no interest to vote with most young people...sadly. A lot of people I know aren't going to vote.
If everyone who wanted to, voted lib dem they would probably have a good chance of getting in.

hmmm im not sure how the number of seats thing works because i think the tories would have to win loads more seats than labour in order to be clear winners. oh i dont know i dont really understand but basically whoever wins the most individual votes doesn't win necessarily.

Yeah I know, it goes by constituency. So if I vote lib dem and labour win in my constituency then my vote really doesn't count for anything. It's a stupid way of voting I think.
But in some areas if more people voted lib dem they'd have a good chance if the area wasn't a hugely labour or conservative area. Especially this year when a lot of people don't know who to vote for, and when a lot of people who usually vote labour might not.

i should really know more about this hung parliament beeswax, but i wasn't paying attention in those lectures. i think you can get more votes but if you don't have more seats then you can only form a minority government, which might lead to a coalition. something along those lines. i absolutely suck at politics.

I don't believe a vote for Labour means what it used to. Under a Labour government our civil liberties have been eroded and the 10% tax bracket for low wage earners has been abolished

Guess who I saw today - David Cameron. Kill me now. He was in town trying to pretend like he still cares that he's our MP... The camera's were everywhere, so me and my friend stood in the background (quietly - but still) chanting 'Clegg, Clegg' - So check the news for that Fags were having pictures with him as well? Arghhhhh, get a life. There was also a huge coach going around with Conservatives written on it and 'Vote For Change' too far. too far.

you didn't miss much. cameron crashed and burned, clegg was so-so (his silly policies are coming out of the woodwork now) and brown was solid. solid and brown.

i just did that test and got conservative, which is ridiculous because i can't stand the blighters and seem to disagree with most of what they say. lib dem were next though. i think i'm swinging that way.

I think they should make everyone vote, like in Australia

i kind've agree but there should be a "none of the above" catagory for people to do a protest vote if they think all the options are shit, so you make people vote but not necessarily vote for anyone.

Yeah thats a good idea. I think most people would vote for someone, its just they can't be bothered.
