    Vote for Nick Clegg for PM - you're having a laugh. He's the invisible man. I bet most people don't even know who he is.:p

    Cable has been right, but he's been hailed as a messiah only because so many MPs are so clueless. Many people saw what was coming, and understood the reasons for it. We were living in a deeply flawed era, where money lost it's meaning. It doesn't take a genius.

    No, I won't vote Lib Dem. They serve a purpose in that they keep the big dogs in check, but I don't think they have enough pragmatism to run the country.

    My thoughts exactly. :T
    I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:

    If you like your local MP regardless of political persuasion vote for them.

    If you don't then you may get an MP who when you need help from them isn't around.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    I wouldnt. They want to fully join the EU. I want to fully leave it, in every way. shape and form.

    Some say we will be vunerable without being in the EU etc, but thats just lies and scaremongering started by those that are taking a very nice wage and expense account from it.
    Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. The one where you showed us Dithering Dad is a complete liar. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE Forum Team

    I'll be voting Lib Dem, even though I don't find Clegg at all inspiring as a leader. I really feel it's time they were given a chance to show what they can do in power.

    Our three ward councillors are Lib Dems (in a borough that is predominantly Resident Association ... Tories by another name). Our three have impressed me immensely with their dedication and sheer hard work in resolving some of the local problems we've had. :T

    I have absolutely no faith in the Labour numpties, and as for the Conservatives, I still remember with revulsion their endless sleeze scandals when they were in power, lining their own pockets and those of the old school tie network.

    Give Lib Dem a chance I say.

    I'll vote Lib Dem, but then my MP is Lib Dem anyway :D
