"Who will you be voting for?"

There's a general election on the horizon and it means government money is coming out of education, healthcare and police and into propaganda campaigns.

It's almost certainly a two-horse race which Cheshire-car faced Tony will win, and blubbering cash-wasting Tories will come second in, before their angered voters turn to more radical right wing parties who offer them policies as opposed to middle-ground but-more-racist-than-labour policies. Namely UKip or BNP, who are openly racist, just not so much middle ground.

Personally I'm voting for the British Socialist Party. Commies, of sorts. I feel that it's an honour to have a vote and I wont waste it, instead I'll plough a wry amount of hope into a small party with a more coherent phillosophy than the chimps-in-suits running the country.

How about you then?

Be political or not-so as you wish.

Ooh and argue, that would be fun.

But then i wouldn`t be able to put my penny in the collection box!

Which makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside after :)

Thats the most brilliant idea ever! why has that never happened?

Their leader topped himself.
About 500 by-election defeats must have got to him.

We will issue a 99p coin to save on change.

Yup. [URL]http://www.omrlp.com/[/URL] I highly suggest reading the Manicfesto.

Our team of experts has decided that Income Tax has not proved popular with the public and will therefore be abolished. It was started in order to finance the Napoleonic war in 1799 and we now believe that the time is right to announce the cessation of hostilities with Napoleon. Some of the money left in the coffers will be used to fill in our part of the Channel Tunnel in case no one has mentioned it to the French. Any remaining money will be strategically placed on a horse at the 3-30 at Haydock Park at odds of at least 12/1 in order to see us through until the next election. Income Tax will be officially replaced by people lending the government a bob or two at the end of the week when we’re a bit skint.

If you use your vote to tactically vote in a pary whose policies you disagree with, you lose any and all right to complain about said government.

I understand why people don't want to vote but I think everyone should at least turn up to spoil their paper.

My dad it for the first time as he just lost face in all parties (He was a big cheese of the local Labour Party in the 1980s).

I won't be voting Labour.

There's no way I'd vote for a party who lie to the entire population. Although I suppose you could argue that all politicians have lied at some point.

Face it, whoever wins won't do what they said they were going to do, so what's the point?

I think I'll go for Monster Raving Loony party, if it's still about...

Labour aren't that much different from the Tories though in all honesty. Yes, they would make things a lot worse but any change is good for politics.

Plus, my vote won't change anything at all apart from add a small percentage on the Lib Dems overall vote.

Yes but what good are principles when you've handed the country over to the most inept and corrupt party?

It's like a new version of that 'go and vote' advert:

"You can't complain, you voted Lib Dem".
