Angarak Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Its not the case of voting for the best party these days - more a case of choosing the lesser of two evils (labour / conservative) as the others are a joke and will never get in.

michael Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Only one party actively tries to tell me what they want to achieve in my area, that's the BNP, their intentions are solid enough too if their leaflets are to be believed, good honest local stuff for the local people... I still can't bring myself to vote for them though... this means I won't vote for anyone because I have no idea what the others want to do and aren't going to chase them to find out.

I completely agree Michael. They seem to be the only party really addressing the issues at the moment, but the racism vibe still remains even if they have some excellent policies on the cards. I'm sorry to say that they would get my vote and I am by no means racist to anyone, quite the opposite. Like you however, I probably won't bother again this year. Do the Government adverts make me feel guilty about not using my vote - not for sh&t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 It's all blue rinses, tea and tiffin down here so it doesn't matter which way I vote, the Blues will still get in nationally with the Libs in local power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoboblio Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Mustn't be around here yet, I haven't had a polling card delivered. I'm in completely two minds about local elections - I never hear a word from any of the parties about what they're planning to do, so part of me wants to just ignore them. But then again, politicians (even local councillors) can't make brave decisions without the ordinary Jo's showing that they'll support them and they won't lose their job by annoying a few individuals. Not voting just puts more power in the hands of people who at the first sign of any change or controversy, run to their local councillor threatening to put them out of a job.

True, nothing around here either, unless I missed it. Think it's time for a change, although nothing will change.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 i wish i could vote BNP army wont let me but i believe them to be the way ahead for now I used to think that tbh. The BNP are just a bunch of racist bigots!! It would be refreshing to see someone take the lead and sort out all the problems instead of just blaming everything on people who aren't white.... H.

This is part of the issue I have with them, my local lot seem decent enough - race / immigration etc isn't something they play on at all from what I've seen. They are more interested in halting the increase in house building because the roads are too busy here, sorting out anti-social "yoofs" and getting them off the streets, filling in potholes, looking after the old folks with free buses and so on... but then the BNP in general seems to be more interested in painting everyone white and wittering on about immigration.

marc_p Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 If this question was asked 2/3 years ago I would have said Labour but my hatrid for both Allistair Darling and Gordon Brown means I cannot do this. So for me it is conservative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I hope they do. This country has been let down by weak leadership. I don't vote any more, they are all bent! H. Shame on you, your vote is important! Having said that I haven't seen or heard anything about any elections in our area - nothing through the door or anything so I'm not even sure they are in our area. I don't know what any of the parties stand for ie their current views on issues but then I don't make an effort to find out and really I suppose I should.
