I figured this is the political forum and we've got local elections in under two weeks time, so let's have a thread and poll to see how the Brits of the forum are going to vote Poll options are private and others can't see which way you vote.
My views on the parties;
Labour (left wing); socialist nut-jobs who have run the UK into the ground for the past 12 years. Sold our gold reserves off at fuck all, took us into an illegal war, ruined our economy by making it more profitable to go on welfare than go out to work. The way I see it the only people who vote labour are public sector workers ( 6 million of these now ) or people who deliberately want to destroy the UK.
Liberal Democrats ( center-left); Voting liberal democrat is essentially like walking* into the electoral office and tearing your vote paper up infront of the eyes of everyone else. They're never going to take office and they're essentially just watered down labour.
* And yes, I really do mean walking in. Most their voters are either students or people who want to "save the planet," hence no car. Perhaps they cycle there? I'm not sure...
Conservatives (center-right); Conservatives have a proven track-record of running the economy well and cleaning up the mess that Labour and trade unions leave behind (see 1950's and 1980's). Ooh, I also like Daniel Hannon and he's my MEP for the south-east, so it's either these guys or UKIP for me.
BNP (very very very right wing); basically the ku klux klan, but condensed into a politcal party and allowed to be legal for some reason.
UKIP; Want to leave the European union
Green party; Vegetarians who write into Top Gear.
