no, that's from 2010.
this is the best they have,

yes but he is still the leader of the opposition.
well he could be the leader of the country next year,
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
It's time we had a box labeled "None of the above" to put our X in.
can't do that, its either that you abstain from voting.
You can always spoil your ballot paper
It is a bit of a problem for those in the centre/ left-of-centre. I expect die-hard left-wingers will vote Labour come way may, but otherwise the General Election seems to be a choice between... well, who? I don't like the way the Tory government does things, I can't see myself voting LibDem in a hurry, and I'm not convinced that Ed Miliband is taking the Labour party in the right direction. I'm sure I'm not the only person who may find themselves uncertain if they can vote for any of the three main parties, and so I can well imagine yet another increase in support for the more "fringe parties", particularly perhaps UKIP on the right and the Green Party on the left.
I agree Jim. I can't find it in myself to abstain but at the same time I find no party, as they currently stand, which I have any confidence in.
"None of the above" X
^^^^^^

with you on that one
For me the picture is also potentially rather complicated as I expect to be in Scotland for the foreseeable future, so come the referendum I could find myself disenfranchised from rest-of-UK politics, which wouldn't be ideal. We'll have to wait and see of course, but I'm not looking forward to a "yes" vote really.
i won't vote for Millband, the x will go to the tories, i know that the coalition hasn't worked, and i certainly didn't vote for lib dems - rather they lost than this debacle
Question Author
are you voting in the referendum jim?
I received a poll card at my current address for the European elections, so assuming I am still in Edinburgh in September then yes, I will be voting in the referendum.
Don't want the present wretches running it either, but the problem is we have to pick one wretch or another.
Question Author
things can only get better.....
even just a little bit
I agree with Jim and Graham W.

I hate to sound like one of those 20-somethings who is all cynical and nihilistic "because it's cool", but our political landscape is really quite bleak and I don't think I'm quite at the level of resignation (which my parents have reached) that would allow me to avoid finding it depressing.

There is nobody. Just nobody. The major leaders are all unprincipled teflon people who all stand for a particularly crass and empty form of "image politics" which I am not willing to endorse. Likewise the only visible outsiders are not people I can bring myself to place any trust in.

The only thing pushing me ever-so-slightly towards a Labour vote is that Labour does not have Michael Gove or Iain Duncan Smith in it. But I find Labour extremely disappointing and have not forgiven them some of their uglier policies when in office, so I'll probably end up spoiling my ballot.
It's easy to see why The Monster Raving Loony Party gain so many of our votes
Labour voters are entrenched in a philosophy that no longer exists - they just don't realise it. Time for a re-think.
