The Greens seem to have done an awful lot in Lancaster, especially in Marsh where I am and nice to see them so powerful so I will be supporting them

No Choice. I live in a Tory-held marginal ward. Labour - with a peg on my nose.

Ah, but for that poll to work in Scotland and Wales it needs to be multi-option. You can potentially vote for 6 different parties this time round.

Grrrrr
is there an election?

Not even sure who I have to choose from in the nationals tbh. Probably go for an independent in the council ones though. Certainly NOT labour or snp(at either level)
I only have the choice...yet again, of the Big '3' and the comedy independent turn who always produces the funniest campaign manifesto
There's really little point, normally around a 15% turnout and you could put a monkey in a red suit and thse people would vote for it
I'm going to Lib Dem since they're the only ones that have bothered to actually personally canvas. The Tories have admitted defeat for the 5th time in a row by not canvassing at all...not even a leaflet

Soooo I shouldn't vote Labour because the leader's wife is ugly (and, less pertinently, consorts with the Italian centre-right), and because it's leader is in America's pocket like, um, every British leader in living memory? Because of this I should welcome back the Tories and the attendant misery and havoc? Hmmm.
Can any of you say: pragmatism? What do the words 'reality check' mean to you?
Ah, how spiritually rewarding it must be to feel so noble and disenfranchised.imposs1904 said:

In 1999 five Greens were elected to the City Council for the first time. Since then they have won a seat on Lancashire County Council and in 2003 increased the number of Green Councillors on the City Council to seven.Hi-ASL said:
Anyway-is this meant to be a thread slagging off other people's choices?
Then clearly the Lancashire Green vote is effective. My comments are aimed at those who waste their votes by putting idealistic principles before reality.cyberfairy said:In 1999 five Greens were elected to the City Council for the first time.

No?
But it's sort of, um, become a thread where I attempt to dissuade some people from voting disastrously. Isn't such a thing the very essence of a forum like this?
This poll shouldn't be public, that's contrary to the spirit of secret ballots, surely? Obviously people aren't compelled to vote in it so I'm just being uptight...
I have a quandary this year- my favoured party are fielding a candidate whom I know personally, and I think he's a complete tosswad. IMO he's got the charsima of an arse-cheek and absolutely no social skills and shouldn't be allowed to represent anything or anyone (think John Major, only younger, more religious, and possibly less interesting, with a more annoying voice). Somehow he's myvered his way into local politics and now I'm faced with a terrible choice.
I have no faith in him to do anything because I've witnessed his conversation skills, and can't see how he can sit on a council and cause anything to be achieved. ARGGGG!

Labour. Reluctantly.
We've got the LibDems running the council here in Bristol, and a more incompetent shower of prats it would be difficult to imagine, taking some really bad, bad, BAD decisions.......
Would consider Greens, never vote respect, even if they were standing... but will be Labour on the day.....
