so vote for another party with virtually the same approach to economics but with a slightly more authoritarian approach to society or a party that will jump into bed with the tories despite telling the public that it opposes them.

excellent strategy for defeating conservatism.

what else would you suggest I do? There was a party who championed PR but I think they are now **** and I couldnt vote for them anyway. Who is to say the Greens cannot defeat the cons in the local elections?

I’ll be voting Green, because as a child of the 60’s I’d feel more comfortable with a bunch of gentle dope-smoking hippies in charge…

(Oh, and because they are probably the only main ‘socialist’ party left to support.)

I’ll vote for whoever seems to have the most sensible ideas for my area, ideas that match my ideals and wants/needs for the area. Not sure if they’ll do it, but that goes for all of them.

Isn’t that how politics works?

Boris all the way. At least he looks like he’s dooing a “job”

I take it you haven’t noticed him moonlighting for the Daily Telegraph then ? Or is that the job you’re talking about ?

Although Johnson describes the quarter of a million quid he gets from his second job as “chickenfeed”, I’m stunned to think that he has any spare time at all from his day job.

You’d think that being mayor of a major global city such as Greater London would be a full time and time consuming job, no ?

(Oh, and because they are probably the only main ‘socialist’ party left to support.)

Much as I’m in favour of environmentalism, this is the exact reason I will never vote green. Shame.
