I'm listening Baz

 Well, lets put it this way.... only Squiggle and I seem to be  openly admitting that we are going to vote Conservative, but the percentages seem to suggest otherwise.

Aha! What does that say about the Tories then? Seems to be a dirty little secret for many....based on the sample on the forum blah blah blah (before I get in to ducky style trouble)  Hats off to you and squiggle though

Given the overwhelming make up of the forum, I can't say I blame them.... but personally , I like a little vicarious danger....let's face it,  I supported Darnell

I didn't post at all about the election for the first two weeks when people on here were going on and on about 'The Tories' and how they were waiting for Margaret Thatcher to die (preferably a horrible painful death).  I then started to put the other side of the argument.  Far from being a 'dirty little secret' I am more than happy to be casting my vote to try to end the rule of the lying, truth twisting, spinning smearing regime that we have had to endure for the last 13 years.  If I get really lucky it might even be the last that is seen of Peter Mandelson but no doubt that is just too much to hope for .

Oh for goodness sake don't get me going on Mandelson..... The fact that that guy ends up being a Lord says it all for me!

Oh no I loved it, seeing him all tricked out with his ermine (and did he wear a funny squashy hat) made my day

These socialists can be so funny.

Whereas this one looked perfectly normal and not ridiculous at all, oh no..

I wont even defend Mandy...he's has as many delusions of grandeur as Thatcher.

Me neither - although I do find it pretty funny that anyone would vote Tory as an antidote to lies, spins and smears. Short memories.. 

Yayy.. I knew we would agree on something Suzy Actually, that is really the basis of my arguments.. that people seem to think that Labour are so much a *peoples* party, but IMO they are simply wolves in sheeps clothing.. and pretty mucky sheep at that

Not really Demantoid.... just in the same hope/optimism that people had when they voted Blair in.  MInd you, maybe that is not a very good example

Fair enough
And we do agree on something if not politics, Baz - both Darnell supporters.

We sure do  And I've stil got my tin hat

We need them.
Being, supposedly, supporters of gang culture, drugs and violence.

Such a fine figure of a man enough to swell with pride the chest of every red blooded socialist

Luscious... ( )
Does anyone look good in ermine? Apart from the ermine itself?

I know a local pub in my area is planning to give away free ale all day, on the day of Maggie Twatchers (preferably peacful) Death, so if anyone is up for a good old knees up, (on the house of course) give me a shout when the time comes

I'm planning to pop a champagne cork or two when that day comes..

Oh Lockes.. I think that's awful..... and I don't even like her

Fair Enough Baz, but you have to understand that alot of people dont simply not like her, they absolutly detest her. Especially up here in my neck of the woods

As long as she doesn't get the state funeral she is rumoured to be in line for - estimated cost £3m - I'll be happy. If her supporters want that, they alone should pay for it.
Apparently she's requested St Paul's.

I can't see her having a state funeral, the cost of policing that will surely be well over £3 million. I dislike her, but wish her well....but I do understand the strength of bad feeling towards her. I predict a riot if that happens.

I can understand why she is hated so much for me she was the worse PM ever she can take the title of ruining this country by a country mile IMO, I hope she does not get a state funeral.. why should she,but I would never wish her any  harm..

The state funeral plan came out a year or so ago, probably to test the waters of public opinion. Since then, thousands of people have signed a Downing Street petition opposing it.

Good for them...

I find it quite interesting that David Cameron has said all along that if you want change then you vote for the Conservatives.  In other words vote Clegg get Brown. Well today's action by Ed Balls and Peter Hain and The Mirror seem to be underlining that now.  Anything at all, vote Liberal or Labour anything to stop the Conservatives.

there is also a page on face book about it (about the state funeral)

Read all about GB trip to the Midlands today in the paper just, said he'll go into charity or voluntary work with his missus if he and Labour lose the election, plus some important news which I didn't know.. David Cameron supports Aston Villa.

I would vote for aliens from mars if it kept the conservatives out

If they do get in then this forum will go into meltdown.

Thanks Squiggle.

no doubt it will Darlo, (I still dont know how to quote)

I am voting Conservative. Labour has managed to bring this Country and all it stands for to it's knees. If David Cameron is the next Prime Minister, he will have an almighty job to do and his policies will be criticised by Labour supporters, who will refuse to see the logic behind whatever he does. I was a single parent with two small children in the 80's, I was not on a high wage, but managed to buy a flat and had a reasonable standard of living. The opportunities were there for those who grasped them. Today, prospects are bleak - jobs are few and far between, immigration is out of control, the health service is a disgrace, serious crime is on the up and the cost of living is higher than ever. So, sorry to go against the majority on the forum, but David Cameron is getting my vote!

Flippin heck, now they are on TV (Labour Party Election Broadcast) saying if you vote Liberal you will get into bed with David Cameron, c'mon fellas make your mind up,

And based on the good old BBC swingometer, the latest prediction from our poll is:
Labour 480 seats, Conservative 73 seats, Liberal Democrats 71 seats, and Other 26 seats.
The BBC Poll of Polls currently shows:
Labour 261 seats, Conservative 278 seats, Liberal Democrats 82 seats, and Other 29 seats.
So our forum is pretty accurate for Liberal Democrats and Other, but somewhat different for Labour and Conservative.

  ..  that made me laugh... it shouldn't, cos I feel exactly the same...  

had this been the conservative romp to victory I expected it to be then I had planned on spoiling my ballot paper with "no suitable candidate" because that is actually how I feel.  

I had pretty much decided to vote lib dem...  they kinda sum up what i believe in (I have to generalise... there are bits from all three parties that I agree with, and don't agree with)..  I am having to go for the overall philosophy of the parties.   Was a little disheartened to then see the lib dem candidate for my ward...  

I don't like him

I do like him better the Tory one..    

and I couldn't find a labour one!

we seem to have a few independants!  

I won't labour either, not this time, because in my opinion the labour party is broken somewhere.. inside...  something isn't working the way it should.

That is exactly how I feel  Ditty , and I have voted Labour all my life.

Join the club Miss Lippy...
