I'm not really into politics but need to vote as I could be the one person to sway the vote in my favour or against me if I don't vote.

Why do we need to register first?

In one sentence could you please the ups and downs of each party and why should I vote or not vote for them.

I've asked this before and if I hear "Vote ukip" one more time I think I'd scream.

Well I expected to get a Tory Result from the Quiz, but it came out with
UKIP 5 points ahead of them, and Labour with a figure of -15 at the bottom of the list, which I find reassuring.
I got Labour
>>>All I can suggest is that you study all the Manifestos of the main Parties

Does that tell you everything?

Did the labour manifesto for the last time they were in power say "we are going to let in thousands and thousands of immigrants, and then bankrupt country"?

Of course not.

Thing is Broseph in simple terms Labour always put the country in more debt, the Tories always have to get us out of it.

So Labour are always seen as "good" to vote for for people who just want more and more benefits and other "free" things and don't care if the country goes into more debt.

The Tories can be seen as a "sour puss" party because they realise we are still in a massive debt and some things need to be managed carefully, but they are not reckless like Labour.

There are a number of countries in Europe who are in a huge financial mess with massive unemployment, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and so on.

Without careful financial management of the economy we could join them.

With Labour you have a risk we COULD join them, with the Tories it is FAR less likely.

p.s. We have to register to vote to stop people voting over and over again. It is one person one vote.
By all means vote green if that is your choice but consider that only the 2 main parties will be in any sort of position to implement their manifesto. Green Manifesto may well encompass issues you care about but it will never be implemented. Ditto all the minor parties.
VHG...I don't recall that the Tories promised in their 1979 manifesto, that they were going to deindustrialize large parts of Britain and put millions of people on the Dole either !
TTT...good point ! The minor Parties can promise anything, safe in the knowledge that within days of the Election, all that they promised will have been forgotten entirely.

There really is one only two games in Town...Labour or Tory.
Well, the relatively neutral thread was nice while it lasted, eh?

While in many elections past it's true that a vote for the minor parties meant little, in the coming election it may well have more weight. The most likely outcome is a coalition of sorts, in which case the minor parties will be able to push through at least some of their own policy aims. Under those circumstances the choice of minor party could be very significant.
I would like to think a Party that thinks about this Country first,
A party that will not claim for unnecessary/ stupid things like drain plugs.
A party that want's to rebuild this Country & be the envy of the World,
A party that stops bickering & get's on with a job that they are paid to do,#
A party that WILL STOP the Off Shore Havens once & for all,
A party that tell not asks the EU For permission to run it's own affairs,
a Party that will reverse privatization instead of thinking about the grabbing shareholders.
A party that will get rid of half of the dead beats that get's paid & fall asleep in the H.P.
A party that can see what is happening to the / Elderly that has fought for this Country,
A party that can say Enough is enough, we are now listening to the Immigration Issue that is often in the Daily Papers & causing bad feelings.

That's All.
Since they are all as bad as one another and since you seem to feel you need to vote, although Lord only knows why, then take a pin into the booth with you, and maybe a blindfold.
no-one can tell you how you should vote without being biased. take a look at your local MP, have they done a good job in the past? Do they care about local issues or do they just follow the party line. Only you can decide who to vote for.
OG...if Broseph took a blindfold and a pin into the Booth with him, he might be in danger of sticking it into his hand !

Best leave out the blindfold Broseph, that is my advice.
