UK General Election 2015

Can't see any other threads on this, sorry if dupe.

Basically, as far as I can see, any coalition other than the existing Con-Dem will result in a massive clusterfuck for our already fragile economy.

Pretty sure UKIP wont get too much support / many seats but overall their presence is a GOOD THING for our electoral system - certainly helping to shake up the establishment. I agree with a few of their campaign points but certainly not all of them.

Voting Conservative. Things have been good round our way for the last few years, certainly better than when the Labour lot were in. Therefore, they get my vote, best of a bad bunch imo. Wish they would give up on HS2 though.

Greens can do one for now - if they manage to pull together a credible manifesto in the future I might listen a bit harder.

you are an idiot.

read another angry voice. The conservatives have been ruining the economy with austerity, and using the newspapers they control to directly lie about it to trick enough of the population into voting for them again. the most infuriating thing is watching it work. Austerity achieves nothing. It slows down economic growth, and allows a gradual increase in flow from the very poorest to the very richest.

The only income band to have seen significant growth under the conservatives are the richest .5 percent. who have doubled their fortune.

add to that privatisation of the NHS, systematically dismantling the benefits of the disabled, causing huge increase in child poverty percentages, covering up paedophilic unelected lords, along with the damage they have caused to the economy, i have no idea how any sane person could even think about voting for them.

this is going to be a great thread

I also have no idea who i would vote for instead in england.

Im voting SNP.

The most important issues for me are minimum wage and easing austerity. The way to achieve economic growth seems fairly logically to be forcing corporations to pay the normal 50 million people in the country a fair living wage. The more money people have, the more money they spend. This means you dont even have to scare corporations away by charging the super rich loads of extra tax. (Although under the conservatives, the amount of tax seems fairly redundant when its so easy to loophole even paying what you are meant to)

I forgot to register to vote doh

Just as well maybe, I voted LibDem last time, look how well that turned out

Conservatives are cunts, agreed.

Pretty sure thats not true, they made big changes in voting registration this time round after the referendum, possibly because voter registration in scotland was about 90 percent, and scotland is a black hole for conservative votes.

It took me 2 emails and 1 strongly worded email to get back on the register this time.

yeah I didn't get a card through the door and I only saw the story about 1000s of people registering on the day of the deadline the after...

so who is everyone voting for?

electoral fraud has been rife up here.

Labour have been sticking faux handwritten notes through doors posing as peoples neighbours to decry the SNP threat, and someone as yet identified was sticking letters through doors posing as the SNP, telling people to vote conservative because the SNP have an alliance with them and have enough votes already.

Its crazy how a party with some pretty centre based politics, and some actual basic human decency from their politicians (freezing their own pay rise in line with nurses) has kicked up such a storm of media frenzy down south. The mail have actually been suggesting that in the case of a labour/snp coalition, the conservatives should have invoked ancient royal veto (which the queen denied), because actually having the two parties with the most votes in power would be 'an attack on democracy'.

Have you moved since last election Spiral? If you're still in the same place and you voted last time you will still be on the register and you don't need a polling card to vote

Pretty hard to believe any party atm, all of them spouting the usual shit that they won't follow up on. However, I am voting Labour, mostly to make sure UKIP do not get in. Oh god I hope they don't get in, they're the third reich waiting to happen.

Hmm ok, will turn up and see.

Yeah to Bech, will prolly vote Labour

Labour all the way for me. A couple of years ago I couldn't see myself voting for Wallace but he's actually come across pretty well from what I've seen.

Watmm left wing massive

the only reason you could think the conservatives have done a good job is ignorance, or huge piles of wealth.

So they're really gonna turn off E4 all day to motivate you to get off your ass? Classic

I don't know why people give so much care to economics, the world is fucked because there is something fundamentally wrong with the way people act, so many unaware out of touch idiots out there, that is the problem, until someone has the balls to say that on national TV i wont listen to what any of these clows have to say.

I'd vote for the Lib Dems if I was bothered, which I'm not, I hate them and their policies marginally less than Labour or the Tories. There's no-one I'd actually be happy to vote for. If I lived in Scotland I'd vote SNP.

Let's face it though...it's gonna be another coalition. IF we're lucky, that is--it could end up a hung parliament, and wouldn't that be fun?

If they had a chance I'd go for the TUSC but sadly they don't. Labour for me, I think Miliband is a decent bloke and a move to the left, even if it is fairly slight, is the right thing.

Fucking hell, if the Tories get in I'll be hoping for a civil war.
