I vote... none of the above. I have no idea how your political system works. Other than the uselessness of the royal family and that your legislative branch is called Parliament (as opposed to Congress). lol

Yeah, that's the view of most English too.

I know what Lib Dem and Conservative is, so I can't exactly vote. Casting aside all knowledge of the candidates (since I have none), I'd vote for whoever is most similar to a libertarian. Or whoever is most unlike an authoritarian if that helps.

Yeah it's kind of a British poll.

I was typing a description of the parties, but realized I was being biased, which is what I wanted to avoid when creating this poll.

I'm voting UKIP simply because they'll keep us away from the Euro, they're against Internet censorship, and will get us the hell out of the damned EU.

Did you know that under Labour, you can be evicted from your house by flying our nation's flag?

I vote Labo(u)r!

How does that work?

Flying the Union Jack apparently incites racial hatred and alienates our cousins from the Middle East. Frankly it's bull, I know a few Arabic guys that love our country, and would be happy to see the standing flag - but it's the some few...

In a country where you can publicly burn the national flag, but not fly it - is a country you need to leave...

I don't see why that is a good thing.

I know what you mean, Simie, bu considering we currently pay Belgium something like £45M per day, when we could be putting to better use like shelters, NHS, etc. it makes you think.

Don't get me wrong, I'm pro-federation, the EU is a great concept; just, why does it cost so much?

The same reason it costs so much for us to support the failing states of our nation, mainly California and my own Michigan. If one area fails, others are bound to follow suit. It's a domino effect. You need to support the failing parts. You have to.

Just imagine if Belgium splits like it looks like will happen, though. Ten bucks says both portions of it will want that 45 mill

It costs hardly anything compared the huge amounts of money we spend on things here.
The expenses inquiry cost over £1 million, this cycle path which is only 10 yards long cost £3000.

£45 million is nothing compared to the bank bailouts, and I'm sure we earn back that £45 million from the benefits of the EUs trading policies.

But then again, I don't go in for politics so everything I said could be nonsense

The thing with labour is their leader. Brown was an excellent Chancellor of the Exchequer, and spent 10 years proving that. But at the end of the day, he got a free pass as PM, he wasn't elected in the first place. Alistair Darling is his replacement, and he's a crap Chancellor of the Exchequer, just like Brown is a crap PM.

Lib Dems. Clegg.

At the end of the day, we're all going to have to face something, no matter what each party and leader says about how they're going to cut the budget deficit. Public spending will have to be cut, it's just a matter with all of them of cutting it in areas where it will be least noticed.

Neither Brown, Cameron or Clegg will be able to pull us out of the recession with significant spending cuts. Labour can't be re-elected, they've been in too long and they've helped us get into enough mess as it is.

Cameron is just focusing on his adversaries' weaknesses, not his strength, which really annoys me. The only reason he was so popular for a while before the debate was that people thought he was the only other way of getting rid of Gordon Brown, then Clegg came along.

Clegg performed well and actually his policies sound the best, and if I could vote I'd vote for him purely because the other two are way too big for their boots. At least that's my view on things.
