    Saying that, I'll still be voting for conservatives for selfish reasons, some of their policies are earning my company a small fortune and I'm putting my family first before any ideals.

    BTW. How's the offshore banking going? Managing to avoid paying tax ok?

    What are you on about? I don't have an offshore account and I pay all the tax I have to.

    Sadly so will a lot of other rich people. This is what the conservatives do, look after the rich and s*d the workers!!

    I'm not rich, infact I had £20k of debt until recently which I was fortunate to be able to pay off in 18 months. I've had 10 years of being a graduate and earning far less than £20k in a job in IT, went several months without wages to keep the company going, and now I'm a director and the company is finally doing ok I think I'm entitled after all the hard work and hours I've put in to make the most of the good times. It could all end if the conservatives get booted out in the future and then I'd be back to square 1.

    This is very interesting.

    What specific, stated, policy of Labour's do you believe puts your company in danger of total collapse?

    Despite getting few votes from any Romanians eligible to vote UKIP may well do ok this week. I suspect a lot of voters a. don't much care who goes to the European Parliament b. don't think much of many of the present main parties c. think giving them a wake up call may help(but possibly not)

    In a years time whoever they vote for they will have interests closer to home at heart and are unlikely to vote for a party that has absolutely no experience of government and apart from its leader no substantial political figure. Neither Cameron nor Miliband are one man bands.

    To answer the question above it is unlikely any single policy will cause a company to collapse but if Labour win the management of the economy will be weaker, the regulation of firms tighter and the economic outlook worse.
