Its the first in the Uk on the road to the election, so being the opinionated bastard I am what is everyone thinking?

It is a secret ballot, therefore my opinion will be the same

I was a big supporter of labour in '97 (too young to vote). Enthusiastically voted Labour in '01. Voted Lib Dem tactically in '05 to oust the local Tory rep. This year is a struggle for me... being from a north western former mining area I grew up surrounded by people who hated the Tories. As a result, it would feel like going against my nature to vote for them, it is that ingrained in me. However, I am not overly enamoured with Labour now ... I live in a former Labour strong hold now so I probably will vote for them. The only other candidates from the three main parties round here are UKIP (I don't believe in voting for a single issue party) and BNP (yeauch, I find them abhorrent). If another party offered a real alternative I would vote for them, but they simply vote. However, I always will vote as apathy is extremely dangerous.

Hmm I don't care cause I'm not from your lame country lol.

The only thing you guys have going for you is you tend to have better comedy than we do lol. Well that and better grammar but who gives a shit about grammar? lol

Originally posted by freak_nutcase I thought about voting for Labour as they're the ones who are rooting for the animal rights issues i want addressing (fox hunting, animal testing, battery hens etc) BUT...equally they're the ones rooting for increasing tuition fees at university and I do not believe thats right so i don't know what to do

Higher education is likely to be hit hard whichever party gets in, whether it's in the form of job cuts and place cuts or tuition fees increase. There are going to be massive cuts everywhere.
