    Not sure about Lib-dems Carol..........Vince would get my vote if he stood as an independant.:D..

    Lib-dems are far too pro EU for me...Given the fact that only 34.7% of UK voters bothered to vote last time says it all for me...

    Vincey Rocks......;)..Safer pair of hands you wouldnt find anywhere.. Personally I'm veering towards the "Keep Britain Tidy Party" as they seem to have a clear agenda...

    Too pro-EU?

    Do I take it you are a Little Englander then?

    This election will be the first time I will be able to vote. Not too sure how it works though. Do I vote for who I want to stay in - and how much are the charges from a mobile, or can I just press the red button on my TV remote? Will a collection of clueless young people interview the exiting candidates on ITV2 asking them what they thought of the jungle?

    Nah, I'm PRO democracy, something sadly lacking from Brussels and London.
    In Brussels there is NO democracy at all.

    I have friends from all over the world from Fiji to Sout Africa and I believe we can successfully trade with everyone.

    With the EU we always get the !!!!!! end of the stick and I want people to govern me who are elected.

    Having said that, I am proud to fly St Georges flag.:D

    When the Lib Dems etc say we need to be at the Heart of Europe to fight our corner and influence policy ,in my opinion its the biggest load of B*ll*x Ive ever heared......The EU is run by a Franco/German alliance....

    We'll agree to differ.

    I feel very European.

    Many years ago, can`t find a linky, there was a party called " The No Helmets Party " which I believed started ( and most likely finished ) in Bedford. This, I believe, was a protest from certain Sikh representatives who objected to wearing crash helmets. Might give them ago.
  • both labour and tories are the same useless self serving #######'s

    out of the 3 main parties the only fair one is the lib dems



    but the british public are mindless sheep and i expect another 100 years of pathetic labour/tory governments
