Flippin heck, I've never struggled with voting before! STILL not absolutely sure which way to go, but don't want to waste my vote - hopefully I'll reach a decision before the polls shut. Tell me I'm not alone?

The problem I have, is that I'm not keen on any of them. I'm going to have to pick my least worse option. And I don't even know who that is.

I know what you mean! Can't bear the Tories, think we need a change from Labour, but not sure the Lib Dems have the experience to pull it off! Also wonder how world markets would react if LIb Dem Government, as such an unknown quantity.
Eeny meeny miny mo.....

Same here LostArt, at the moment I'll be basing my decision on who/ what I dislike least. Just having a more detailed look into some if their education/ nursery policies to see if that helps.

I was going to start a similar thread! Yes, I still haven't decided. I usually start from the premise that they are all lying, thieving, cheating scumbags and stick my cross next to the candidate who's been less of a scumbag than the others. This time round they've all been as bad as the others, and they all have policies that I agree and disagree with in equal measure. I'm at a complete loss as to who should benefit from my vote!

I think they are all a bunch of twats but I am trying to decide who is the least twattish.

I was unsure until about two hours ago. Trying not to think too much about it now as I don't want to change my mind again! I woke up worrying about it!

Same here, heart says green, head says waste of a vote and they wouldn't have a clue if they actually won.

Our local labour candidate is lovely and one of the few apparently decent people who have snuck into politics but I'm not sure I want to vote labour.

Kind of like the lib dems but they don't have much of a chance round here.

Tories uggh, BNP worse.

I've got the added dilemma that non of the major candidates live locally (although they are all looking forward to spending more time here )

I usually vote Green, but know that's a cop out. I want to be grown up and vote with conviction, but no one represents me and my issues, especially locally. P'haps I should stop moaning and stand next time!

errr was really not wanting another labour government and was decidedly lib dem but completely anti-conservative, they just really make me sick.

Completely agree with drowning's "heart says green, head says waste of a vote and they wouldn't have a clue if they actually won" so I do think I'm going to vote Lib dem but may change my mind at the 11th hour to labour

I am. I like the lib dems and agree with more of their policies than anyone else but really really don't want labour back so am toying with voting tory. Our local tory candidate is female and seems good and current mp (ld) has been very unhelpful when we've asked for help i.e no response whatsoever to letters or email.

AArgh. I keep deciding and then changing my mind.
