Right with the polls being opened in less than 1 week away i was wondering who are you voting for(or at least who you would vote for if you had the chance)
My self i would probaly go for David Cameron because to me he seems more genuin at what he's going to do.
edit........
i have not included other partys because theres not much of a chance of them getting in.

i really think people need to look at the manifesto and read what they actually will do rather than stating who you like or think you like due to popularity contests set out by the media. labour easily have the best manifesto as long as they dont mess up again.... maybe im too forgiving, but in my eyes conservative and lib dem are nothing short of a nightmare for the country.
though people overlook the local elections too.. see which party is best for your area.. if you vote cons for general cons may not be best for the local area you live.. etc

well a little while ago my school did a politics day and invited 4 politions to my school and we all had a few questions for each one. local i would have to go for lib dem(if i could vote any way) because he did proper answers. the rest of them gave stupid or irrelivant answers. conservative they did ok but no supstance to their answers. so local i would go for lib dem

I also think too many people have the urge to vote based on the candidates personality. I'm not a big fan of GB, but his policies seem somewhat more viable than some of the carrots waived by Clegg and Cameron, I just wish he would sack his PR team and stop the fake smug smiles, it doesn't suit him and never will.
Imo, GB is talking about what he thinks is actually going to be the best for the country whilst the other two are talking mainly about doing things to please certain demographics purely for votes.
-BTW, I vote UKIP so I'm not that pro labour, just see the wider picture on the 'big 3'.
What I would really like to come out of this particular election is REAL change from any party that gets in regarding the actual way central Government is run and is accountable on their election promises.
Well only a few more days then labour will be gone and a change after 13 years of useless politicians.

That site makes me lol because, according to
The results so far from 290,065 completed surveys,
it's then a hung parliament split 6 ways... which is even worse. So I say don't vote for the policies.

I am unfortunately a few months out of being able to vote however if i was given a chance to vote, i'd be voting for David Cameron due to the fact that i agree with most of his policies & i believe he has the ability to make the UK a better place.
However i do like the policies of the Monster Raving Loony Party lol :D
It's interesting seeing that "Other" has 5votes, can people say which party they'd go for if they chose "Other"
well, David Cameron is Mp for Witney. Unless you live in the constituency of Witney, you won't be voting for David Cameron. You actually would vote for your local MP in your area. Granted, he might be a Tory, but people need to realise that they need to vote for the party and not their leaders.
I think the leaders debate did more damage than good tbh. I heard people come out of our polling station saying how such a nice man the at Nick Clegg is!

In that case i'd be voting for David Mundell (Conservative)

The debates were done badly i think
As we vote a party, not a President, why were the party leaders doing all the debates?
Surely the one on foreign affairs should have been the 3 potential foreign ministers, and the economy on the 3 potential chancellors...? :huh:

100% agree with you on this. Doesn't make sense to me neither. It's all getting Americanised, like everything else in our country.
