How Will You Vote At The Next General Election?

[anotheoldgit]

We have read in past posts that Cameron is finished, the Tories are finished, the Tory/LibDem coalition is finished, the LibDems are finished and UKIP haven't a cat in hells chance of winning the next election.

With all this in mind and the experiences of the disastrous 13 years of Blair's and Browns New Labour, how will you vote at the next General Election and why?

For those who give a positive "I'll vote labour" then by doing so will you expect Labour to reverse everything the Coalition has implemented during their term of office, so that things will go back to how they were during the Blair/Brown days?

I agree Em but that is the difference between a Tory and a Labour supporter.

A Tory will admit that they have been let down, but a Labour supporter will go on and on voting for Labour no matter what they throw at them, simply because "they are working class" and their grand parents voted for them and their parents also voted for them.

For some strange reason they will carry on voting for them in the belief that Labour is the working man's party, but just as their union bosses they couldn't care a toss for them, it's look after
No 1 once they are voted in.

UKIP the same as last time. Although I expect they would make the same sort of mess with it as all the others have, if they ever got in. One thing I have learned down the ages is politicians never keep their promises.

[emmie]

they promise a lot, can rarely deliver, and even if they get half way there, the opposition puts a damper on what they want to do.

"but a Labour supporter will go on and on voting for Labour no matter what they throw at them, simply because "they are working class" and their grand parents voted for them and their parents also voted for them"

What an arrogant man you are AOG.

I'm surprised this has come officially from UKIP.

I thought the point raised would be automatically recognised in a democratic country....apparently not though.
I've signed it.

I will vote for our local MP,not because he's a Tory but because as a constituency MP he has gone out of his way to help quite a few people I know personally,regardless of their politics.

[shaneystar2]

Quite giveup..
Thing is people still tend to vote for the party .
I vote for the MP who best serves my interests and the constituency that I live in .We had a good Labour MP for many years . Local man ,knew his constituents etc and did lots for us .
Now we have an Conservative Essex spiv who is only content on feathering his own nest.
He was put here by his paymaster Pickles and is now a junior minister intent on furthering his own career and us constituents can go hang .
To the point that we have suffered the biggest cuts in funding for the council
( implemented by Eric Pickles ) of the whole country just because we didn't want to be amalgamated with two other councils who are miles away from us That's blackmail by the Conservatives .
I think though that people are beginning to see what he's like from some of the comments in the local press .
So AOG ... .because I happen to be "working class" I don't vote Labour simply because my parents did ( if they did ..I never asked them ) but for the person I consider best for the job .

[giveup]

Pickles is not the genial man he purports to be,he's only interested in himself,I can assure you.Just try contacting him and you'd find out.

I'm from the north of Ireland AOG- I only vote Labour because there isn't a Sinn Fein candidate around here- nothing to do with my 'parent's voting labour'- what a silly statement.

Well if you consider yourself weak, then yes I suppose I am.

Arrogant - An arrogant contempt for the weak

But take my advice if you are indeed weak, then the News Section isn't for you I'm afraid, best go back to the sections you generally frequent.

[gordie1]

I will vote UKIP they are the only party that puts British interests first

[Ann]

I don't feel inclined to vote at all. I can't choose between any of the parties, they are all equally as bad ............. I have voted Conservative all my life but feel let down by various policies they are bringing in - squandering of our money to foreign aid and same sex marriage to name but two .......

You seem to enjoy being insulting, it's a good job that I am a gentleman or I could just as easily sort an insulting description out for you.

By the way one should only put 'an' in front of a word if the proceeding letter is a vowel, and the letter 'C' isn't one.

[shaneystar2]

I don't consider myself weak AOG because I vote Labour .
And don't presume to tell me where I can and cannot post on AB.
I'm as entitled to my opinion as you are .
My redeeming feature being that I'm not a bigot and nor do I shout down people who disagree with me .So stick that in your upper class pipe and smoke it .

[shaneystar2]

"You seem to enjoy being insulting "
Pot and kettle AOG ...if you don't like then don't dish it out .You obviously don't like a taste of your own medicine .

[BlueToffee]

Do you mean just like Cameron et all have done with previously made labour legislation AOG?

I too will vote the same way I have done in every election bar one, and Mrs BT will vote the way I tell her to (joke!).

[BlueToffee]

Sorry gordie1, very naive if you don't mind me saying. UKIP are like all political parties, they are looking after themselves and their followers.

Perchance they get elected, and let's hope they don't, you would see NO change to what we've had over the last 50 years.

[shaneystar2]

"By the way one should only put 'an' in front of a word if the proceeding letter is a vowel, and the letter 'C' isn't one."
Terribly sorry about that .Ever heard of a typo AOG....
You are so patronising at times and seem to pick bits out of peoples posts and twist them round to suit your own arguments and views .
Perhaps you are right and I really should refrain from posting in News .
There really is no point in debating anything with people with tunnel vision .

Vote Labour it will be brilliant to listen to their excuses.

They cant blame the current government for taking over a financial wreck, because Blair and Brown were responsible for a lot of it in the first place, just like Labour always do, so they can get a chance to sort their own mess out.

more chance of the second coming than that ever happening.

theyre the 'arry Redknapp of politics, they always leave a financial phukup behind them, thats what theyre good at, spending money thats not theirs and they dont have.

they only have one answer to everything and anything, spend spend spend.

go on vote Labour I dare you, see how bad things really can get
