Which political party do you support?

[jonny2mad]

possibly the green party but their all pretty ropey , I think labour and conservative are pretty much the same .

The bnp are ok "except their racists", that except their racists bit would stop me voting for them although Im not keen on multiculturalism and more large scale immigration from anywhere.
I dont think we should have secondclass citizens because of race or deport people because of race , they do get peak oil so even bad people can be right about something sometimes

respect I wouldnt vote for them because I think their in bed with islamists, Im not sure who I dislike more them or the bnp maybe them I think , I know I dislike fake anti fascists more than fascists because you dont expect anything better from fascists

the liberals are ok I suppose

[dhARmaMiLlO]

I'm one of them tactical voters. I check out the voting polls in my area before I decide who can do the most damage to the current governing party.
That has normally ended up with the liberal democrats.
I've voted green once, in Scotland. Would like to do it again.

[johnnystillcantread]

I no longer support any political party in fact I am getting pretty sick and tired of them all. I stopped voting years ago because I figure we cast the votes and they count them. Cheers!

That's (in a way) been my method in the past. I've usually voted Labour simple as a vote against the BNP. In this most recent election though I couldn't bring myself to vote Labour again so I went for the Lib Dems...Conservatives won it though. First time in my town's history.

[Peace-Phoenix]

I've voted Green and Respect in the past. I expect I would again, and would back the most credible left wing challenge wherever I was....

[Quoth the Raven]

Greens.. or Monster Raving Loony Party. Just cause they have a cool name ;)
And if britain had a socialist party worth bothering with I'd vote for them.

[dapablo]

Never supported a party. Have always been strongly anti right wing from whichever party.

My usual vote goes for everyone on the ballot paper because my local candidates are not up to my mark. I think its right to let them know I'm not impressed rather than I can't be arsed.

[mellowthyme]

I guess my politics have been blind to a point coming from a traditional socialist area. The truth is I believe this town (see profile) would benefit much more from a regime change and would even consider my politics to turn blue locally to achieve this, but never nationally. It's that old addage, absolute power absolutely corrupts, and there's enough going on around me to make the town planners and councillors of the 1960/70's to blush with embarrassment.

[Ätznatron]

I'm too young to vote, but I intend to vote Liberal Democrats when I can. If there was a chance that the Green or Communist parties had a chance of getting in my area then I'd consider voting for them though. I would never vote BNP though, bunch of racists. I'd probably vote for some kind of pro-EU, pro-Euro and united Europe style party, I'd really like to see Europe united and with open internal borders...

[steveo123]

I'd vote for the Lib Dems, but i'm not really a supporter of any

[_chris_]

Im one of these Commie's in the Labour party, so thats who i'd vote for.

[Jesly]

I am least interested in politics.........

[nynysuts]

Green party, I might end up as an MP for them one day, so you'll all vote for me as prime minister, won't you?

[paulfreespirit]

The Free Weed And Anti Poverty And Friends Of The Earth Party .

[nynysuts]

surely you mean friends of the cabbages!

[starlight_fire]

When I'm old enough to vote it would probably be for Green Party.

[L.A.Matthews]

The S Club party.

[IlUvMuSIc]

We actually had a mock vote in our school to see who the younger generation would vote for when they're older. School winner was Lib Dems but i voted for the Green party.

I was told one of the partys (maybe respect not sure) was chucked out of the Labour party so made their own. Just a rumor i guess.

[CultBoy]

Stickin with the Lib Dems or Independents till something that suits my needs comes along.

Thinking along the line of slim line+majorirty represenattion the EU, pro controled immigration, progresive taxation, progresive drug laws, free NHS/Higher Education, England to have its own Assemble, well paid+equiped armed forces and no more of this war on terror crap.

[MoxDragon]

Green Party

[Freya85]

If I get the option Green Party. Haven't had any elections since I moved to this area so don't know if I'll get that chance. If not I usually vote tactically. There may be no one I want to vote for but there will usually be someone I really don't wan't in.

[weedsmoker]

hi everyone vote for the lib dems they are the only ones who will other things apart from the sound of there own voice not mentioning any names *cough* *cough* david cameron *cough* *cough*

[Pill 'ed]

I agree most with the 'Alliance of Green Socialism' but I don't think they'll ever stand much of a chance. The 'Liberal Democrats' are probably the party I agree most with out of the big 3, but I'm still not a massive fan.

I'll be voting for the 'Legalise Cannabis Alliance' next election. I know they'll never get into parliment and they clearly state that it's not their intention to. They just want as many votes and as much support as possible so that other Political Parties will listen to them and change the laws on drugs.

[Peace-Phoenix]

I agree that cannabis should be legalised, but it's such a minor issue when compared to the big political questions of our time that I could never see myself voting for a single-issue party like the LCA....

[J0hn]

I choose to not declare my vote openly. I have voted though. You can be sure that I aint voting labour. Too much labour time has damaged Britain and our relationships with the middle east.

[nerthus]

i'm too young to vote too, but when i can i'd go for the socialist party of england and wales. i think a 'green' party is important at the moment but i can't see how the green party can be effective when it covers all shades of the political spectrum - conservative to ultra liberal. apart from the one issue of the environment, they wont ever be united. although they do have some very progressive policies on drug legalisation...

if there was a chance of the bnp getting in in my area then i'd vote tactically to keep them out rather than for my party. the moderate parties are all the same anyway...anything to keep that bunch of fascist thugs in suits out of power.

[Azog 150]

Greens used to win where I lived (Stroud, Gloustershire) but obviously I was (and still am) too young to vote.

[farabovetheclouds]

I vote for Liberal Democrat every time, purely because I'm sick of the constant Conservative/Labour bullshit we are fed day in and out.

Nothing annoys me more than people who don't bother to vote, these are the people that complain most about the country. If you want it to change get off your arse and go to the voting centre dammit!

For those of you who are too young to vote, promise me you will when you reach the age? I spent most of my teenage years waiting to vote. And it's something I really don't take lightly. In fact the voting age should be lowered to 16 in my opinion to get more youngsters involved.

[The manticore]

respect

[verseau_miracle]

Ive thought for a long time i would vote lib dem, but ive been having some doubts and im leaning towards the Green

[Peace-Phoenix]

Lib Dems might be moving leftwards with Nick Clegg as leader, but I'd still go for Greens or the local socialist option....

[Boxclever]

lib dem

[nynysuts]

Gosh, it's ages since I spoke on this thread! Definitely the green party, I don't like any of the others! I'm far too much of a leftie to entirely agree with any of them. Maybe we should start the Hipforums Independent party (HIP for short), which would be THE socialist party worth voting for!

[lithium]

Where the system only allows you two bad choices which are too close together to tell apart, pretty much any vote is a wasted vote, so I either vote tactically (which usually means lib dem) or abstain by spoiling my ballot.

[Peace-Phoenix]

It's not really true to say that any vote is a wasted vote. Significant support for a minor party in a General Election often translates into significant support in local elections where they can make a real difference. Councils with heavy Green representation have done a lot for thinking globally by acting locally....

[lithium]

Yes I think it's a different matter for local elections where there's a real possibility of getting a candidate from a minority party onto a council. Any vote in a general election is a wasted vote:tongue:

[J0hn]

I support any party that stands up for Britain. One that stands up for the common Englishman. One which would prevent Britain becoming "Englanistan". Although I am not anti muslim or ethnicity. Britain's identity is fast becoming eroded. Now Britain has to bend over backwards for Brussels demands for a Ethnic state, affectively writing Britain off as not a Country of Englishman, but that of many different cultures. Each country has a right to identity. So far, labour threatens our identity. So I am not supporting Labour.

I have one particular party in mind. I think perhaps, well not libdems. Brussels will have a field day because libdems are not strong in Europe. Not greens, this means more taxes. Not conservative either.

[verseau_miracle]

One that stands up for the common EnglishmanHow about one which stands up for the common human being, the common roe deer, fish, field mouse, the trees and lakes and the common good?

Oh noes, i forgot, the money :rolleyes:

Sorry im being silly:) So youre not labour, not conservative...Do i smell BNP on you J0hn? :eek: Surely not

[J0hn]

I was looking at the Respect party. They are less recognised, but perhaps they need a chance. Although I am only considering this party, I still remain firm in my actual party choice. I choose not to declare openly as things can change and partys often change their policies at the last minute.

[lithium]

Do i smell BNP on you J0hn? :eek: Surely not
Sounds very much like it and wouldn't surprise me at all...

[verseau_miracle]

Sounds very much like it and wouldn't surprise me at all...Maybe it was sarcasm...i cant remember now! :confused:

[J0hn]

Even if people did vote BNP, I wouldn't be surprised. If they voted conservative, I wouldn't blame them. If they didn't vote labour......again! I wouldn't be surprised either. :leaving:

[Rah]

I would support the party that supports me

[CATFYRE]

It doesn't matter who you vote for the government will still be in power next day!!!

[Rah]

I support TMRLP on saturdays and sundays (weekends off) and in the week I start by being Socialist Worker on a Monday but by Friday I am most definitely somewhere more extremely right wing than Mussolini and Hitler combined. This is prolly the result of watching BBc News 24, Channel 4 News and reading the Walthamstow Gazzette and other Horror story books about what immigrants have done to fuck up social relations in this country since 1945

[themysterytramp]

Either Labour or Conservative will win the next election. Everytime one party gets in for too long they get arrogant and things go wrong, ie. like now. So vote Conservative.
