I'm just curious as to which parties people are backing- if any.
EDIT: damnit, should have added a poll
I haven't voted in recent general elections because I haven't had a socialist party candidate to vote for and I don't like the choice of voting for the " best of the worst " under our first-past-the-post electoral system.
I am hoping that part of the reforms we are being promised after the expenses scandal will be a change to proportional representation. Such a change should help re-engage people with politics. In my case, I could join a socialist party that could campaign on a socialist agenda with a real hope of having a voice in Parliament.
If that doesn't happen, I may well not vote again next time, unles Labour is still intending to introduce ID cards ( I belive it will now probably drop it before the next GE ). If I'm wrong, then I might vote for the likeliest party that will form the next government that will ditch the policy.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
