New Labour coz as far as i see it they're the best of a bad lot.

Lib Dems - will not forgive them for lying and spinelessness. this was their chance to prove themselves + they've helped epically **** up the lives of a new generation by doubling uni fees
Tories - uni fees, and don't even get me started on the othere stuff the've done
Green - well meaning but god no
BNP - as far as i'm concerned they're racist bigots

Labour.
All the historic progressive moments took place under Labour goverments (NHS, Comprehensive education, Equal Pay, National Minimum Wage) All things that are now broadly accepted by all parties.
Therefore although I don't like everything that Labour does, I feel that it will always be the party that most represents fair and progressive values in government. :smile:

interesting results, labour is winning by quite a way, and there isn't much difference between BNP and liberal democrats.

Not going to vote Liberal after they backstabbed students about tuition fees. Definetly not going to vote BNP for obvious reasons. Green is a wasted vote in my constituency. Labour put Alan Johnson as shadow chancellor, a man who knows less about economics then an economics A level student. Tories are the only party who have a plan to get out of this mess, Labour currently do not offer an alternative ( yet they still moan), and therefore they would get my vote. (even though I am a liberal at heart)

Wait, you're not voting Labour because they have Alan Johnson as Shadow Chancellor (a mere spokesperson), but then you'd happily vote for a party that allowed George Osbourne to become the actual Chancellor (someone with actual economic responsibilty)???? I really struggle to believe you've thought this through...

Yay labour! :smile:

I voted Greens, because now with Lib Dems supporting tutition fees, the greens are the only ones that want to scrap them

I would have voted Green in the election, but in my consituency the choice was between Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and UKIP so I chose Labour. A party with members like Tony Benn and John McDonnell can't be all bad......right?

It really looks like (well by this poll anyway) that the Lib Dems have taken quite a battering from this coalition

Are those really the only options you're giving us?

To be honest none of them appeal to me at this moment in time.

Labour - I just couldn't. I can't see myself voting for them any time soon, I think the description of 'promises everything, delivers nothing' is fair.
Conservative - voted for them in the election. Cuts to defense are horrendous and I would probably have reconsidered my vote if I had known.
Lib Dems - They interest me somewhat, but I really couldn't care less about the tuition fees debate and that's all they seem to go on about.
Green - Like their basic principle, but most of their policies I could never get on board with.
BNP - Don't think so.

So, I guess it would be the Conservatives, if I absolutely had to choose. Best of a very bad bunch.

tories normally, though they are pissing me off at the moment. dictating how i save for my old age... **** you, cameron.
labour and the bnp are on the same level of totalitarian socialism BS.
the lib dems are overly economically leftist, though unlike labour actually seem to value personal freedom, and the greens... lol.

so, none of those.

edit: voted conservatives because they are the lesser evil and have some decent people.

Labour.

Liberal democrats blew any chance they ever had at a majority victory by jumping into bed with the tories and disregarding their policy promises prior to the election.

Conservatives are just outrageously out of touch with modern society, and cannot possibily relate to the average voter. Shown by their persistent pandering to lower income taxes for the rich, whilst trying to shift all the blame of the economy onto benefits and away from their banker mates.

Labour - I think the coalition is making cuts much faster than necessary, and a lot of these cuts are purely ideological, hiding behind a curtain of "worst budget deficit in xxx years, *repeat other spin doctored facts* etc.".

It's just tiring to hear Cameron constantly ram down this "13 years of pure hell and illogical spending" down our throats when it wasn't until Novermber 2008 when the tories stopped supporting labour's spending pound for pound. It'd be nice to hear him make a speech for once that doesn't mention "it's all labour's fault" "13 years...." and so on, and just get on with the job - he's won, and has 5 years in power. He doesn't have to lead as though we'll face some mid-term elections.

I don't know how I can, it should be obvious?

I don't think it's obvious. Lib Dems are for proportional representation. Tories are claiming to have a referendum on the Alternative Vote. Although Tories and Labour would rather keep the current first past the post system, it's still an elected government (except not all votes are accounted for).

Withouth meaning to sound cocky, I would also like to understand your point.
