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
Greens are favourites in Brighton Pavillion - roughly 8/11 or to put it another way about a 58% chance of winning.
Lib Dems have no chance, Tories approx 32% chance of winning and Labour approx 10%.
This is all per befair odds which are generally more reliable than the polls.US housing: it's not a bubble
Moneyweek, December 20050 -
I just looked up and we have 7 candidates here. I didn't even realise that until today. Was wondering why UKIP were handing out flyers this morning at the station.
We've got Lab, Con, LibDem, Green, UKIP, BNP, Monster Raving Loony
I may change my vote yet0 -
While we're on body parts voting, my !!! bum is inclined towards UKIP and the inner workings of that area are BNP.
I have heard from my dad's canvassing that SE London could get a high BNP vote this time....not enough for them to place an MP but still a highish amount of votes....but lost from both trad Tory and Labour voters0 -

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...........
Well, that's true for all of us, isn't it?
Even for me, I see Tories as working in my interests in some areas - eg the party most likely to restrict the huge benefits bill. And the party most likely to overdo the cuts early on, push up interest rates and bring the housing market crashing down quickly.
Butttttt also the party most likely to !!!!!! up the public services I hold so dear.
A bit of me rather likes Nick Clegg as he's neither as smarmy as Dave nor as weird as Gordon, and the Lib Dems tax policy sounds far and away the most sensible, for me personally, and the country.
But then again, on many issues like housing, and obviously, the longer-term sustainability issues, the Greens make most sense.
I suppose it's 'thinking of the children' (cringe) that makes me most likely to vote Green.
So I shan't be sitting at home and eating chocolate - or rather I shall, but not till after I've cast my vote. I shall have to buy a big block to nibble on at moments of extreme tedium/excitement as the results come though...0 -

Me? You missed me?
I solemnly promise not to disappear again. I honestly didn't think anyone would notice.
I now feel exactly the same way I felt when the brat robbed the small change jar to buy me a worlds best mum mug. Except I wont threaten to involve the local constabulary this time.
As to a protest vote, that would be SNP and if we Scots keep voting for them you English will end up escaping.........Retail is the only therapy that works0 -
