Are you going to vote in the General Election?

[XMG5]

Irrespective of your politics. Are you going to vote in the general election?

[CastrolCraig.]

hell yes.

simple fact is, everybody needs to vote, and vote for the closest labour challenger or non labour seat holder in their area.

[Great Pretender]

Absolutely.

I'm not a pikey and therefore I care about who runs this country.

[wiggy001]

Of course. Grandparents fought for my right to, and I can't complain on May 7th if I don't and Labour get another chance to further shaft us.

[Mark34bn]

Hell yes. Braver people than me have fought and died so we can vote. If liebour lose I will drive to London to wave Gordo goodbye!

[Fittster]

No.

I won't take part as it will show support for representative democracy.

[soad]

Yes, why lose my vote.

Revel in low turnout, looking for less than 60%

A spoilt paper in my opinion says "I don't like any candidates but I support the system".

Turnout figures:

I suppose one issue is that if you think the economy has more problems coming, then to have the Conservatives come into power would have everyone blaming them if things got worse, so watching Labour squirm after apparently fking things up more would be more satisfying. That said, 5 more years?

I hear this argument a lot. The question is, what does it mean to the people who count? Smart voters subtly protesting that they don't trust any politicians... or a bunch of idiots who are so stupid they can't even put an X on the paper?

And do you want Labour in for another 5 years?

[speedchick]

Hell yes, I'll be there to vote, the way I see it, if a party gets in that you don't like, if you haven't voted then you have no right to winge and complain about them.

If you start getting turnouts in a general election to the same levels as you see in local government elections can anyone really claim to have a mandate to run the country?

Blue, Red and Yellow monkeys are much the same. You aren't going to see huge changes in the size of the state or the level of taxation whoever you vote for. The problem is the system not the politicians within it.

As a anarcho-capitalist I've not voted in the poll.

Difficult up here.

That would mean voting for those who would throw the yoke of "English oppression" off........................to replace it with the seemingly unstoppable yoke of European oppression

The good thing about the "English oppressors" is we all speak the same lingo, so can argue back

This might help some, it's the Conservative targets but gives the majority held by the party, mostly Labour. Clicking on each one will give a breakdown of last election results and who was the closest challenger.
