Re: Labour
I would vote SNP,the only serious political party that not only supports re-nationalisation, but is actually has working left of centre policies.
Sadly I don't live in Scotland, so that leaves me with 3 mainstream parties, all of whom were in favour of privatisation or Royal Mail.
UKIP are basically Maggie Thatcher's Tories but with less chance of being elected under our undemocratic first past the post system, so as ever I am left in the position of not voting FOR anyone but voting for the candidate I think has the best chance of defeating the sitting Tory MP, how is this in any way democracy?

Re: Labour
I norm
ally only vote in the local elections, for the party that does the most for the local area, not the ones that just turn up the week of voting, knocking on the door.

Re: Labour
I agree. Ed has had the chance to show that he is on the side of the working class and has failed on two accounts in the last couple of weeks.
1/ Refusing to carry out the wishes of the labour rank and file in not agreeing to renationalise Royal Mail.
2/ Promoting a new education minister who on question time supported the Torys on performance related pay for Teachers.
However can a head teacher maintain a fully committed staff, and how is he able to judge to what percentage of pay one teacher is worth more than another. A more divisive strategy could not have been thought up.

I would vote for the Dennis Skinner party.
Just a shame he hasn't got his own party and is stuck with Ed

Re: Labour
I'll not vote for any...
In hope that one day the turn out will be at a record low... and out of it we may actually get a party for the people!
Voting for the best of a bad bunch seems pointless... you're giving the message, to which ever party you vote for, that their policies are actually worth voting for!

Re: Labour
I used to vote Labour but never again.
All the main parties are all the same - all in it for themselves.
If I vote it will most probably be UKIP.

Re: Labour
Labour seem more concerned that their Tory buddies sold Royal Mail too cheaply, than the fact that the British people have lost yet another asset to, most likely than not, foreign ownership.bluealbert wrote:Right who is going to vote for these clowns now that we are sold ? I'd never vote conservative who would you vote for ??
Westminster is a cess pit. Corruption is the order of the day there, and you can bet your last quid, more than just a few MPs made a few bob buying up shares.
Will vote Green, SWP, but never that treacherous shower of shyte again.

Re: Labour
The right wing is becoming amusingly splintered between the tories and UKIP, a division which will hurt them both and play into the hands of Labour. But you wonder what on earth has happened to the left. It seems there's a canyon-sized void in the political spectrum between the Greens and Labour, which no one is daring to fill. Labour has abandoned and betrayed us, the time when they can be trusted to represent workers is long gone. It's time to kickstart a new trades union movement for the 21st century, and fight the ideological evils of neoliberalism on all fronts. If the unions were to disband from Labour and form their own party for the working class i'd probably vote for them. Until that happens it's Greens all the way for me.

Re: Labour
I'd welcome the time the trade unions formed their own political party and pulled the plug on labour support and funding. The labour left would move onboard the new party leaving the others to swim for it into the ConDems arms. I would vote Green if we had PR but we don't and a protest vote is a wasted vote when the ConDems are about. There still is just enough of a difference between ConDems and Labour for me not to want ConDems in again & I will vote for the lesser of 2 evils. Those at the top of the Labour party don't get my vote but my own Labour MP is deserving of it.Dozen wrote:The right wing is becoming amusingly splintered between the tories and UKIP, a division which will hurt them both and play into the hands of Labour.

If Scotland votes for Independence, England will be under Tory rule forever. :dcfo

Re: Labour
Voted for them at the local election. May take more time than I have left on this earth (and my descendants) but the more votes they get the more influence. http://www.tusc.org.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Burge wrote: I'd welcome the time the trade unions formed their own political party and pulled the plug on labour support and funding.
