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.
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*
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.
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....
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.
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.
Greens used to win where I lived (Stroud, Gloustershire) but obviously I was (and still am) too young to vote.
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.
Ive thought for a long time i would vote lib dem, but ive been having some doubts and im leaning towards the Green
Lib Dems might be moving leftwards with Nick Clegg as leader, but I'd still go for Greens or the local socialist option....
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!
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.
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....
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:
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.
How 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 Sorry im being silly So youre not labour, not conservative...Do i smell BNP on you J0hn? Surely not
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.
