    The Liberal Democrats.

    I was a Liberal Democrat before the 2010 election and I was a Liberal Democrat after the election.
    An idiot before the election and idiot after the election!

    Ah, Großdeutschland (nee Mexican Red Knee) ruining yet another thread.
    This leaves me wondering why the mods have never gone as far as banning IP's.

    Relating to this thread, I support Labour, although used to also support Liberal alongside them.
    I must admit that it does tickle me to pop into this thread mid-way through a debate about the holocaust and see someone say "I support Labour".

    I don't find it funny because I think supporting Labour is in any way linked to the debate, just because it's such a jarring, polite statement to see in among such filth

    If that's the best criticism anyone can throw at me, I don't think I've got anything to worry about.

    Conservative - I believe in the individual worth of people. I would rather Free trade and business than nationalised corporations
    Then why on earth would you support the conservatives?

    Probably not at the same extent as fully backing them (as in, "Labour till I die" type talk), mainly because I think they are the only party suitable enough to actually have some success.

    Hopefully this should get the ball rolling again

    I see myself as a Labour supporter but I like some of the economic policies of the Conservative Party. They are reasonable in this economic climate by cutting the deficit but I don't agree with their deep and fast cuts in the public sector.

    until labour pick up their game i will be voting UKIP mainly because their policies mirror my own opinion. I will never vote lib dem; Clegg has perfectly lived up to the stereotype that MPs cannot be trusted and only do what they are told, and for Cameron, how can he represent the views of Britain when he has never been in the shoes of a working class person in his life? Talk about his 'we're all in this together' b***ocks, we're not really 'in this together' when there are some people living comfortably and others struggling to feed their family.

    I did like Lib Dems before the last election, I'm now probably more in favour of Labour, but they are still disappointing. I would trade the top three for Barack Obama any day!

    you can't prove a lot of things but it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
    maths or science for example could just be norms which just happen to work together yet millions of people follow them around the world.

    denying something with such adequate evidence is pathetic.

    stop trolling and grow up. :troll:
    I agree!!!

    Labour, because the conservatives actions against university fees. David Cameron is this generation's Mrs. Thatcher.

    None.
    Too many words, not many actions. If I had my way I would have a more direct democracy system where people actually vote but with some ground rules that you can't vote against minorities etc.

    Ok...

    The Labour Party introduced tuition fees.

    The Labour Party supported an increase in tuition fees.

    As for the second bit, if he was this generation's Thatcher, I'd be more inclined to vote for him! As it is, he's being spineless, and as a result, will lose the next election. If he grew a pair and actually introduced some true Conservative-style policies, he might have a chance of getting near to the three outright election victories that Thatcher achieved. Proper Conservatism, resulting in the longest serving PM for nearly 100 years.

    Shame Clegg can't say the same.

    As Labour are in favour of an Interventionist economic policy, and in the past they nationalised industry...that went well

    Labour, lib dems, would be so much better if we voted for individuals who actually give a crap - instead of nick cleft and Ed milliband. As for David Cameron...there's no hope
