    When man realises he cant eat money..... Or do anything in a chemically polluted planet. The older I get the more I dislike the bankers etc

    For the first I will vote green as a protest vote. I really cant vote yet again for any of the main parties.

    Son just told me Brighton could nhave a Green MP? I have tried to google and nothing came up. If it's a real possibility then that's me decided....I have voted Green a long time ago but was a 'lost' vote.

    I am torn. Cameron is best for my kids but GB for us but Green would suit me down to the ground......oh ....decsions decisions

    Definitely. Caroline Lucas is in with a good chance to be Britain's first Green MP.

    Wish I lived somewhere where Greens stood a fighting chance :( - no chance I'd waste my vote then.

    As it is, I may have just upped the Green's chances - just got rung by by Mori pollsters, asking about my voting intentions - I said still undecided, but Greens most likely. So hopefully pushing them a teensy bit higher in national polls - people do like company when thy vote, and if enough people think something can happen, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    Witness Nick Clegg.

    Thanks Carol...I am decided....I read the declarations and I feel it. I know it may not become reality (like the supermarket one) but the party is more ''me'' at the mo.

    I think you may have decided me too - I do definitely like Nick Clegg the most of the leaders (as I was telling the nice chatty Mori guy), but given that in my area I suspect that the Tories could put up a horse and it would still get in (or, like Cameron, be married to one :p), if voting tactically is pointless, I may as well follow my conscience and vote Green.

    Like I said, it's nice to have 'company' in voting.

    Anyone else fancy joining us?

    I still dont know who I am going to vote for.

    The horrible, self-interested part of me wants to vote conservative. The part of me that sat on the sofa and listened to my Grandfather eulogise Nye Bevan wants to vote labour (irrespective of the fact Gordon Brown makes me want to single-handedly storm the Mother of all Parliaments).

    The decent part of me wants to vote libdem.

    I may just stay home and eat chocolate...........
    Retail is the only therapy that works

    I have always voted in SE London which was a fairly safe Labour seat but I have voted differently depending on whether council or general.

    I voted Natural Law once (as a protest vote as I felrt very disenfranchisd at the time) but they had the strangest manifesto...including teaching the populace to do ''yogic flying''. I don't know if they still put up candidates.

    I have voted for John Major (as I felt he was decent and understood what a lower-middle class life was like), I voted for Blair the first time and I think I went for Tory last General Election...but I can't recall why now...doh.

    While we're on body parts voting, my !!! bum is inclined towards UKIP and the inner workings of that area are BNP.
