Vote LibDem.

Gordon Brown has proved himself to be a complete tosser. He allowed Alan Johnson to fire Professor Nutt, and proved that he is more bothered by his personal religious beliefs than Science.

The Tories just want to make themselves richer.

That leaves us the LibDems, the only sensible choice.

Be sensible, still not sure myself but by voting Lib Dems is surely going to lead to another Brown Era?????

i voted lib dem in last election, this time im not voting, i liked charles kennedy, but dont like theyr'e new leader, & i dont agree with their policy of charging car users more for road & petrol tax & investing it in new railway lines instead of the upkeep of the roads

I was with a friend having a pint in a pub in the centre of Salisbury in 2001ish. Who should sit down at a table next to us? Charles Kennedy with 4 other colleagues. Little did I know he had a drink problem back then and glasses were soon strewn across that table later on. He seemed a nice guy though and acknowledged us with a friendly nod and smile and didn't seem to care being out on the market square pub patio with booze for everyone to see.

I don't follow UK politics, but today on NBC news I saw Brown saying "we are the party of jobs and the party of industry"

Doesn't sound like a party I'd vote for.

Is the economy really the single most important issue? What do the UK members think?

Cameron hasn't got a clue half the time, he is too wishy washy. Blair said it best last week. He is only saying what he thinks he has to say to win, and not what his party really believes in.

Vote Saxon

Sir Niall of Essex-sire · Tue 6th Apr 2010 10:28 pm

For me, it's Lib Dems.

I think it's likely there will be a hung Parliament, which means Lib Dems are powerful. I'm a liberal person, for me equality, fairness and liberties are at the core of a society, the Lib Dems imo give that the best voice in the political arena.

It's an important one this election, i think the Torys will edge it, but with enough Lib Dem support there can be real positive progressive change in Britain.

Make sure your registered to vote and get their out there! It was nearly 70 years ago that our grandparents sacrificed so much in trenches to ensure our ability to vote. It's our duty to respect that and use the right they fought for us to have.

Here's hoping for some progressive change.

Maybe, it's sure an important one.

Tbh with you man, the British public ( the middle class suburb esp.) are worried about whatever scare headline pops up in the Daily Mail.

Immigration is a issue amongst some people. Other people worry about ' broken Britain.' And these are both bullshit scare tactics by the BNP and Torys respectively.
