British Elections in 3 days, your choice. - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Firstly, i do realise that there are other threads that are up about this, but i'm interested in what people are thinking of voting now, not what they were thinking weeks/months ago.

The British general election is in three days, May 5th, and i would like to know what people intend to vote, if anything.

Current YouGov polls have Labour on 36%, Tories on 33% and Lib Dems on 24%, with a 3% +/- margin of error. In my opinion, none of the parties are any good, it's just a matter of chosing the lesser of several evils.

I personally am intenting to vote for the Tories, they intend to crack down on immigration, put discipline back into schools (bloody well time too) and at least have a start on all this PC mumbo jumbo. I also have no confidence in Tony after he's been put on the defensive so many times in the election run up.

Discuss, reply to poll, vote!

Lib dems won't get in and i don't think charlie will be a good leader, as for tony, well he has long enough at the top and think he just needs a good long holiday. So that leaves the last option, yes, Michael, so it looks like the Tories it is then. Ohwell, i'm in a labour district anyway so they're probably win down here, although i did hear we were number 46 on the unsafe labour seats.

Can't wait till its all over now, i want to see some news of outside this election, international affairs would be great.

I'll be submitting a spoiled paper because the Green Party don't have a candidate in my area and I won't support any of the three candidates I can choose from.

A conservative government would be the worst possible outcome from my personal viewpoint. Michael Howard is a shifty cunt.

I used to think Howard looked like a shifty cunt too, but then I thought Tony Blairs shit eating grin was far worse. And he's been eating a lot of shit recently.

Theres no way I can vote for someone who wants to put a tax on how far you drive in your car. So conservative it is. OR Lib Dem -shit I don't know its tomorrow too.
