Re: Who should I vote for and why

To say that it is such an important election, I am surprised that no-one has been round canvassing for support.
We had those letters too......cynically, I threw them in the recycling. Just because a politicians lips aren't moving, doesn't mean he/she isn't lying......oh....sorry, they don't call it that do they......it is 'spin'.

Re: Who should I vote for and why

As someone who is running off my own steam I'm at a disadvantage getting everywhere, not having the party machinery around me. Why not devise a way of voting policies instead. That way we would prevent the powerful lobby groups buttering up politicians. They would have to turn to the Electorate for influence, if they have a case.

Re: Who should I vote for and why

Well I'm struggling. I'm Googling to see who is standing for round here. I think I've been moved to Altham for voting but as far as I know I've always lived in Clayton. I've had nothing through the door, no canvassers..........nothing.
I think I'm just thick

Do I vote Lib Dem in order to keep the aforementioned clown out? He has a fair chance of winning and keeping the Tory out.
What do you suggest?

Re: Who should I vote for and why

I keep thinking that my missus is having a thing with David Cameron, almost every day she gets a personally addreesed letter from him. I'll just have to see if they carry on after the election - then I'll know.
We have a dilemma here in Morecambe - our Lib Dem candidate lives in Baxenden - how confusing is that.
I wonder if he would buy a second home up here for his constituency work?

Re: Who should I vote for and why

I can't believe this I was telephone canvassed by the Tories yesterday, (they have my number so not effected by preferred listing), you would think they would know I have a pv and have already voted, Didn't know the chap, but he wasn't please when I told him I had voted Tory at the locals but not at the General on a matter of principle, when he asked what principle I said consult CNWAO

Re: Who should I vote for and why

On Thursday when I went to vote I fully intended to vote Lib Dem to keep out this hated Tory.But when push came to shove and I had the pencil in my hand my traditions took over and I had to follow the habits of a lifetime. I voted Labour. It was a wasted vote. The Tory was elected.
