Not my fault Gov, I didn't vote for them. Can't blame me for a massive increase in already expensive parking charges (this when we rely on visitors), for everyone supposed to be crawling around at 20 miles an hour, upsetting the refuse guys so we had rubbish hanging about for weeks. I don't think they'll get in again, they've only just managed it last time and they've lost about a third of their support as I understand it.

[viv38]

Labour.

[AB Editor]

I did wonder Ladybirder :)

Maybe those who did vote for them wanted smelly streets and expensive council tax?

[AB Editor]

I will try and remember to do a collection of manifesto summaries before the next election so we can all judge properly. All parties have a few mad things on their manifesto, and it might be fun to find the maddest :)

/// I hope Ed will exercise his franchise in the privacy of the polling booth. What he does in there is hardly any of our business. :-) ///

I thought someone might say that, but I thought it only fair to ask since the Ed was asking ABers the same question.

What are you after Sandy an extra badge or perhaps special privileges? :0)

Like you I am not sure, I am not happy with the Tories present leader or how the Tories have been held back by their Lib//Den bed fellows, perhaps they would be more effective if they joined up with UKIP?

[ladybirder]

Good idea Ed about the manifesto summaries. Look forward to seeing them.

[keyplus90]

BNP has no vote so far and therefore I will vote them. Poor fellas.

For the first time I am at a crossroads about voting. I voted Conservative for the local bod because the Labour council in my ward are a bunch of idiots. For the General Election my mind is not completely sold on David Cameron, he speaks with forked tongue, then we get a big reversal when someone comes up with a better idea. Never would I consider Labour, even if flappy mouth Minibrain was ousted I could not envision Mrs Balls aka So very sincerely Yvette Cooper as Prime Minister. Which leaves me with Happy Farage who I have a lot of leaning for, what to do, I don't want to end up using my vote for Labour to gain the seats. LibDems are nonrunners Vince Cable is not the man for me.

At the risk of sounding like a demented obsessive, I repeat my earlier point that you should include NI parties in this. Otherwise you are excluding the NI ABers from expressing their preference

Mikey: "Kind of proves my recent comment that right-wingers outnumber left-wingers here on AB, so no surprise ! " - sour grapes! makes a change from the gloatometer I suppose! Come on get real, Lib dems are down the kazi, No one sane would vote for the anti British marxists, UKIP are a useful protest in the Euro election, they seem to have taken off Ed in this poll though, Tory win innevitable.

[anneasquith]

my observation of AB certainly lean ( very heavily ) to the right, must be a lot of rich pensioners posting.

What do you class as rich, 'not on benefits'?

[emmie]

an oxymoron, rich pensioners.

[mikey4444]

I meet lots of pensioners in the course of my work, and while some are obviously well-off, the majority are not. They manage because their generation was brought to do so. But I fear for the young people that we have around us today...what are they going to be like, in 40-50 years time, existing on their Old Age Pensions ?

[cassa333]

I put UKIP but it is a toss-up between UKIP and Conservative. It just depends on how they perform running up to the elections.

[Baldric]

All looks quite good atm!

[mikey4444]

cassa...I can understand the UKIP protest vote element, in the Euro elections, although I don't support it myself, but what would be the point in voting UKIP in a General Election ? They have zero chance of winning, and only just above zero chance of getting anything more than 1 or 2 MPs. By your own words, you obviously want a right-wing party in power, so why would you vote for anything other than the Tories ?

This seriously puzzles me !

[AB Editor]

"Like you I am not sure, I am not happy with the Tories present leader or how the Tories have been held back by their Lib//Den bed fellows, perhaps they would be more effective if they joined up with UKIP?"

I wonder if it would split the Tory party properly - there's loads of Tories who might jump ship. Would they be able to garner more power in the smaller side of a coalition? Maybe this would be Farage's "reverse takeover" what he talked about last year!

"BNP has no vote so far and therefore I will vote them. Poor fellas."

They need all the help they can get!

"At the risk of sounding like a demented obsessive, I repeat my earlier point that you should include NI parties in this. Otherwise you are excluding the NI ABers from expressing their preference"

I've submitted to the many-headed hydra of the UK's political system and added 5 (!) NI parties!

"But I fear for the young people that we have around us today...what are they going to be like, in 40-50 years time, existing on their Old Age Pensions ?"

There won't be a pension, not a state one anyway. Most of those I speak to understand that it's unsustainable and are considering other plans for funding themselves - rather than throwing themselves at the mercy of the state, or feeling entitlement towards it in their old age.

[sandyRoe]

It's Alliance for me. Though where I am a vote for them is little more than a way to say, 'A plague on both your houses' to the sectarian parties.
