Yeah, but Lib Dem are very green, deep down. Some reasonably good ideas, but pro EU and the enviromentalist bits ruin it for me.
Conservative for me, my local MP is practically UKIP anyway so will hopefully see sense on most issues.
He opposed that climate change bill in 2008 and that really seals it for me.

Pro EU is why they wouldn't get my vote, if I could indeed vote.

Greens would have us walking everywhere. The most decent bunch out of there seems to be UKIP.

freight onto road makes a lot of sense, just have the local rail depot to the local area, might cut out the poles and the others undercutting the the brits on transport

the anti car stuff is a shame, looks like tory for me

The feckers forget that if they put fuel tax up it increases prices in the supermarket as it costs more to gets to stores etc.

Yep, if CMD could only take on some of the UKIP policies the Tories would have a storming majority.

Like breathing.


Anyone else notice the lack of 'Drive five miles less a week' during their epic campaign. Clegg estimates 7000 miles in three weeks. The others cannot be far short. GB and all his 'gas guzzling' entourage must be killing the planet big time.
