    I thought Clegg did come across well in the first tv debate, i didnt get to see the others..but their policies aren't all that (IMO)

    hmm. i'm glad that so many ppl i talk to seem to be exercising their right to vote though!


    At the end of the day they are all really as corrupt as each other! I think its more important to vote for whoever you want as your local MP as they will be the ones you can contact if you have an issue not the big wigs at No10

    I have to admit to not voting as I have a poor opinion of all main three parties. My vote would be for one of the others which in my opinion is a "wasted vote" so I'm excercising my right not to vote.

    why so much space?! !
    counterproductive or what?!


    I dont know it seems mad to me, honestly the booth could have fit in a phone box it was so small lol....maybe they need to do it for privacy or something?

    I found this site - http://www.voteforpolicies.org/ - quite good for figuring out what the parties actually stand for and who I agree with on what (it just confirmed that I couldn't make my mind up on one party though!)

    thats fair enough..what annoys me is when ppl complain about the govt and then admit they cba to vote..i feel that is hypocritical and you have no right to complain that they are awful or not running hte country v well etc etc if you didn't care enough to vote..

    i appreciate that is different to actually making a conscious decision not to, vicki, so please don't think that is aimed your way :)

    Eek just found out that I owe work more annual leave than I thought so will be missing almost a week's pay in my last payment when I leave - have got money put aside as I'll have a long month with changing pay dates anyway but that's quite a big chunk to lose out on. Grr :(
