UK General Election 2010

UK General Election 2010
Well, I voted for the Conservatives twice (Council and General). Who did you vote for? If you couldn't vote, who would you have voted for? If you didn't vote, why not?

...and finally, will you be watching the results show or are you not that bothered?

RE: UK General Election 2010
I voted Lib Dem, twice because I think it's about time someone else had a go. I could never vote Tory, just out of principle as I remember the days of bloody Thatcher!! And obviously I'm not voting Labour.

And, this cold allowing, I'll probably be up into the small hours watching all the results come in and keeping my fingers crossed that Labour get well and truly trounced Big Grin

I been looking forward to a decent election for years!

EDIT: I'm wondering what an appropriate 'election night' meal and snacks would be? Also, Sky 143 (BBC HD) from 21:55 Great

What compelled you to vote conservative? If you don't mind my asking?

I voted Green, primarily because the candidates have a passion for all of their policies.

I'll be watching the results show with some friends in one of the bars on campus, good times Smile

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

If your opinion of me is solely based on my political views, then the feeling is completely mutual. I have lots of respect for people who have considerably different viewpoints than my own...it is a shame that you don't seem to think the same way.

Their policies and their performance in the debates. Also, our local MP is a nice guy. I saw no reason to vote against him.

I could never bring myself to vote for an openly socialist (and proud of it) party. To each his own though.

Adrian,

I was actually trying to make an 'off the cuff' joke, I realsie it's probably my fault for not making that clear. Just so you know how anyone person votes has almost no bearing on what I think of them, unless of course, they vote BNP etc...

Generally on the internet you need to add the suffix </joke> or add an emoticon like Tongue to denote humour. I've met plenty of people who have based opinions purely on who people vote for.

I don't know why voting BNP is somehow an exception. Not all the BNP are racist cunts; some of them are actually just pro-English, voting for the only Nationalist party they have available to them (well, at least in their area).
