      Finally get to use my vote this time around. Still it won't be long before I'm tired of hearing about it.

          That's between me and the ballot box. :wacko:
          I'm still a bit undecided. I wouldn't vote Conservative because I can't imagine myself being happy with Cameron in charge. Gordon Brown's not as bad as people say he is so I'd say I'm leaning more towards Labour. If someone says they suddenly want to abolish tuition fees though they might convince me!

              I was being kinda sarcastic. It's a nice thought that they could be gotten rid but if it damages the standard of the universities then it may be a problem.
              Plus the Lib Dems wouldn't win anyway.

                  You probably have, you just didn't ask them. I always open conversations by asking the other person if they're going to vote for the Lib Dems, even before I say hello.

                      They have very little support over here, at least compared to the main players.

                        voting Lib Dem is usually an indirect vote for the Tories,which is why no one with any sense does it.

                        All the 'i'll show Labour and the Tories by voting Lib Dems' dicks i know are just going to help put Cameron in office. ****s

                          Better than the 'Get rid of the lot of them' crowd that write into the papers. They were even writing into the local paper, which hardly gives them a useful platform for their views!

                            Not really. Most Libdems lean more towards labour and vice versa so in the (likely) case of a hung parliament, there'll be a Lib-Lab coalition.

                            Probably. Dont take my word for it.

                                It's not me you need to convince, it's the idiotic lower classes who got taken in by Camerons propaganda.

                                  Anybody watch the live debates? Interesting to watch and personally I think Clegg came out on top. He's done well for hismelf with that.

                                    I watched them, thought they were alright. Not surprised Clegg came out on top, after all this was the first chance he had to go up against the other two on an equal footing. If he could criticise Brown or Cameron then people would support him.

                                      It was just a constant bitch fight between Cameron and Brown, them having a "who can speak over the top of the other the longest" contest. I hope Clegg gains even more support in the coming debates.

                                        Poor Gordon. I want him to win but I'm less certain now.

                                          Watching the results in real-time here.

                                          Apparently the LDs may actually have a much lower result than expected, so that they may even lose seats?

                                              It's not especially shocking though. A lot of people were gonna vote Conservative.

                                                voting Lib Dem is usually an indirect vote for the Tories,which is why no one with any sense does it.

                                                All the 'i'll show Labour and the Tories by voting Lib Dems' dicks i know are just going to help put Cameron in office. ****s


                                                we need a Labour - Lib Dem coalition or this country is beyond fucked

                                                    Cameron thinks the only way to fix the economy is to make it implode, he is also a prick

                                                          Nick Clegg has sold his soul for what? John Prescott's old job, the whole point of deputy prime minister is to be a colossal moron to make the dumb shit the government does look less stupid by contrast

                                                            The press conference the two of them did made me a bit more depressed. Clegg looked like a bit of a tool.

By voting traditionally a lot of people would think they're voting safely.
