t020 Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Originally posted by Skatiechik I also fail to see why you think it would be funny for people in Sheffield to vote conservatives? Under labour we have seen promise and promise broken, along with tax rise after tax rise. With a failing manufacturing industry, house prices continually rising, crime up. Does anyone actually trust tony blair? Skatie Not to mention the unions flexing their muscles and threatening strikes every 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamo Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 I voted Labour in all four of the general elections in which I have been eligible to vote in. No more. I now detest this government almost as much as I detested the Tory government under Thatcher. I share the view expressed by others here, in that I find it difficult to affiliate myself with any of the parties. I think a hung parliament is the best we can hope for and that people like me (lost in the political wilderness) should simply vote for the party most likely to win against labour. I will therefore cast my vote for the Lib Dem's, who I think will hold their Hallam seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robh Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. - Plato The word "politics" is derived from the word "poly", meaning "many", and the word "ticks", meaning "blood sucking parasites." - Larry Hardiman Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it and then misapplying the wrong remedies. - Groucho Marx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Still no votes for the BNP. Come on guys and girls, where have you got to? Stand tall and proud, pin your colours to the mast. Me? I voted green in this poll because : -they are the only party committed to non-hierarchical power structures -they are the only ones who are realistically considering climate change beyond the next general election -because they champion local devolution and rule of the people, by the people, for the people. -because, like the BNP weirdly enough, they champion hemp as the industrial crop of the future -because they are the only party that will truly accept global responsibility for our actions, and act accordingly. -because they embody the 'think global act local' ethic. That they're second only to the Lib Dems (after a wholly representative poll of 20 self selected pollers) is a cause of some pinprick of hope.

Moonolt Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Ooh... tough one. I'm officially resident in the Isle of Man at the moment and I'm only 18-and-a-half, so I don't know if I'm on the UK's electoral register, I'm probably just on the one for the Isle of Man. In which case, I can't vote, so there's no point in putting one down. But which am I affiliated to? Again, I'm not certain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Rock Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 We've hosted a Green party fund raising evening in the pub before. One of our favourite bands is led by the Green Party Candidate of Hillsborough. Good policies - probably will never lead the country but the winning party in the next election (and the current one) could do well to listen to the Greens and take on board their philosophy.

Phanerothyme Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 Interesting to see the greens and the lib dems neck and neck so far in this highly unrepresentative self selecting poll. And still no votes for the BNP.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
