José Luis Zapatero.
Socialist- check.
Experience of running a country- check.
Experience of sorting out the crisis- (can I come back to you?) 😛

TJ, he knows the rules and will stick by them, unless they are inconvenient of course. 😀

I had to vote green in the local election. It was either that or vote for blue tories,red tories, yellow tories or the BNP.

No one they are all deluded morons and so detached from reality. You would be better off putting some of the more respected big company directors in there to do the job...

In last weeks council elections I had the choice of labour or conservative so I drew a cock and balls on the ballot paper - I thought it was my best option!

I'm fairly sure the election was won by a male-chicken, but I don't think it was the one I drew.

As above, there wouldn't be an election is Cameron resigned, though he could choose to call an election.

I'd vote Labour, because we have a good, local MP and they're the best of the big three. If I thought the Greens stood a chance here (or a Labour win was very safe), I'd vote Green.

In last weeks council elections I had the choice of labour or conservative so I drew a cock and balls on the ballot paper - I thought it was my best option!

There needs to be a big campaign to get people who are actively abstaining because they believe there to be a lack of choice to do this. Spoilt ballots are counted, so if spoilt ballots won it'd send a big signal.

Problem is, a 'natural' Tory voter wouldn't do this so it'd benefit them in the same way as a low turnout benefits them.

To be more serious - I try to vote with my conscience rather than tactically, so if Green was an option then that would be my choice, otherwise not sure I'd bother unless I was desperate when Labour (as a party - not Milliband as a leader) would be the way to go.

Was previously always Lib Dem. Not sure I can do that any more...

slainte ➡ rob

Well not a resident any more so hardly counts but..

Labour?? The party who spent everything and deregulated the banking industry and have no policies - they have admitted they would make cuts but don't want to say where. Outcome same thing

Lib Dem well they got caught out with the lets make lots of great sounding policies we can't afford or implement because we never get in anyway - ah crap we did how do we pay for any of it

Conservative - Carry on reduce the size of government make the unpopular calls and see what happens

Outcomes all the same really it's just this place is full of Gaurdian Readers (nothing better than a glass of moet while reading the socialist worker is there now).

So go on, tell us...........what's "happening" ?

.

I would vote for the Green Party if there was an early general election due to a successful vote of no confidence in the government.

Unless the Dr Peedell's coalition of healthcare professionals were standing, in which case I would almost certainly vote for them.

Of course I would vote Labour if they had a decent candidate who wasn't just a dishonest Tory, but that won't happen in my constituency. I envy those who can.

I have never before voted Tory in a general election but I probably would now. Cutting the deficit is the only thing that counts and whilst i wish they would do a bit more on the supply side such as spend on infrastructure, cut more regs, reduce NI, raise income tax thresholds these are minor failings compared to Labour all but destroying the country in 2001-2008 and before that in the 1970s (Tories had to sort that mess out as well).

Sadly Liberals have blown it and will take a generation to recover.

Starting from a position where we are skint, they are reducing spending to match income.

Meanwhile any industry that dares to make a profit is seen as the root of all evil, the banking sector (yes the ones who got us all into it - nothing to do with massive levels of personal debt too) the most evil of the lot needs to start work and generating some profit as profit = tax = spending.

All governments would need to cut in this situation. Milliblands stance that he would protect this and that and the other doesn't add up.

Would you like to cut Education? Health? what about paying child benefit to higher earners.

Oh wait there is plan B of ignore it build some new roads/schools/hospitals with money we don't have and keep racking up the debt, whats another billion.

For me having voted labour for the last 15 years - sadly not the next time.

"stupid is what stupid does"

Dunno what the alternative is though really.

more likely

sums up Tony and his 20:20 hindsight diaries

I had David Chaytor as our "good" labour MP

was Margaret Moran your MP?

No Margaret Moran wasn't my MP. What a pointless and therefore stupid question.

I honestly don't know. There isn't one party leader I want in charge of the country. Almost seems as though Miliband was voted in as a caretaker on the assumption Cameron would last a decent length of time but now it feels like he might actually outlast him, which'd be dismal.

Let's say Boris, he'd be just as rubbish but as least it'd be a laugh.

For Westminster elections I am in a very safe Labour seat. I would probably vote green. Its only a few seats where elections are decided - seats like mine its pretty irrelevant who you vote for.

Probably go for the cock and balls option.
I won't vote for labour, won't vote tory (seeing what they've done) nor libdem. I like the green bit of the green party but otherwise they're far too left for me, UKIP too far right.

TJ that simply isn't true. It is thus because it suits the various parties to say it is. I used to live in a seat that had been labour since the year dot. They could stick a baboons arse up for election, and it'd get in.

However, after the Iraq invasion there was a concerted campaign by the Lib Dems to mobilise the opposition. It went Lib Dem with a 20% swing.

You of all people should know this anyway. Alex - tell him to go and sit in the corner and think about what it is he's said

Yeah, I got the impression Ed was there to be a buffoon for a while, then when elections were looming he'd get the boot and someone votable would be elected Lab leader.

Wrong! think you'll find the deregulation was done during the time Thatcher and Reagan were in power.

Very true.
Labour/Gordon did have a 10 year window to change it though. I wonder why they/he didn't?
