Tory, but TBH it makes no difference what I vote because I live in Tory heartland, the chances of my local MP being any colour other than blue are slightly less than those of the LHC conjouring a black hole and killing us all.

I just wish they had a none of the above option. So what if itd cost us money having to do another election poll afterwards, itd hopefully give the govt a good enough kick up the backside, pointing out that they havent been getting in because theyre good, but because people are voting for the lesser of two evils, and maybe make them realise they need to up the game a bit.

it doesnt really matter as 90% of our laws and decisions will be made for us by the EU.

Ill probably vote tory just to try and get rid of that slack jawed moron Brown, not that it will make any difference around here in labour loving hick-ville

Tory because Labour under Brown have made one too many terrible decisions.

Ignoring, pressuring and generally ruining the ACMD has really annoyed me, upping Canabis to B, making MCat class B against scientific recomendation.

The digital rights bill that supports big companies at the expense of everyone else.

The sell off of gold reserves at golds lowest point

The retraction of plans for a supercasino on the whim of Brown

The 50% tax rate for high earners, banker bonus tax based on public ignorance not economical sense, anti-city sentiment in general, the proposed increase in national insurance aka tax on jobs.

Some of the reasons Brown annoys me and why Ill be voting tory.

I thought the digital rights bill was in favour from most of the parties now, in one shape or another?

Ill be voting Conservatives as I think that Labour has become tired, especially in recent years, and that a change is needed. The Lib Dem’s policy on Europe rules them out for me and other parties are just too small to make a difference.

I wont be walking down the road to vote for any of these faecal puddles. Its pretty obvious the Tories will be getting into power anyway and it will be the same story.

Yes, pretty annoying really. I think Lib dems still say their against it but there was no display of the in the voting. Tories came out as backing it a week or so ago which is a shame.

On the upside they dropped Clause 43 in the wash up which was going to savage photographers copyright of their own images. Hopefully the rest of the bill will also be trashes in the house of commons althought that seems unlikely. On the one hand the government is calling the internet a basic human right and on the other its giving itself the power to cut people off. Removing someones basic human right? Sounds like an EU law infringement to me.

You shouldnt not vote because you think "theyre all as bad as each other". Pick who you think is the least worst.

If you dont vote, I dont want to hear you complain for the next 5 year.
