Exactly, zacs. That's why I won't do it again. I'll just vote for the party I want. Even though it has no chance of winning a seat down here.

[Zacs-Master]

Fair enough.

Well said Jo !

By the way, I never heard any of our righties say that the Government of 1010-2015 was disaster, did you ? As far as I was concerned, it was the usual Tory regime, with a few LibDems brown-nosing in the background. And what did it do for the LibDems ?........put them out of business for a generation or two.

//I never heard any of our righties say that the Government of 1010-2015 was disaster, did you ?//

your memory might be being a bit selective there mikey. vey few "righties" (as you've called them) publically hailed the fixed term parliament act, foisted on the coalition by the lib-dems as a condition of their support.....

[Jackdaw33]

As a 'righty' I too did not applaud the coalition. My view was, and still is, that Cameron should either have formed a minority government or remained in opposition hoping for an overall majority next time.

Only just got back to this thread.

Resent all you like Mikey. It is as it is.

Vote as tactically as you like. It obviously makes you feel so much better.

I vote on the balance of what the issues of the times are, on what the parties track record are and what improvement I see each party making.

You on the other hand seem to be saying you vote only for Labour or to keep a specific party out.

That's saying, my party might be *** but yours isn't getting in on my vote. Hmm very grown up.
