British Voters

RE: British Voters
I could cheat and look if and what Fr0d0 voted, but I am guessing left of centre would be democratic, so either Liberal Democrats or Labour (provided the UK scale and political parties compare to our political scale and parties).
Best regards,

The ground has shifted so far to the right that describing oneself as " left of centre " actually now means " centre " or worse. It's only old-style, unreconstructed socialists like myself who resolutely and defiantly call ourselves " left " and actually mean it. I'm talking UK here, by the way.

Confused FallConfusedhock:

Get interested. Soon there's meant to be a "Leaders' Debate" being organised by Sky News between Labour, Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. Battle of epic proportions and polar ideologies.

+1 rep for the first person to spot the sarcasm...
Good times.

On a serious note, I think the leaders' debate would be pretty interesting if they put some smaller parties in the mix and gave an opinion which really varies from the norm.

yesm Back in the punk days (the first time they were around), there was a saying;

"It does not matter who you vote for government wins"

The only way to get rid of labour/conservative/liberal is for another party which listens to what the people want and acts upon it....so far no party in sight.

The only party who are even daring to say something different are the BNP so we need a better party than that..........well the Scots have one its the English I feel sorry for.

RE: British Voters
So long as the people of any country feel disenfranchised, it doesn't matter who wins the election- the people will always feel at loss.

At the end of the day, we elect people from our constituencies to put forward our views. If the only responsibility we take in this country is to vote for a party and expect them to take care of things on their own, can we really expect that politicians will behave as we would wish?

Of course the main parties are all going to be more of the same. There's no pressure on them to be any different.
