Reasons not to vote UKIP
-They believe disabled children should be aborted www.gravesendreporter.co.uk/news/exclusive_compulsory_abortion_for_down_s_syndrome_foetuses_says_ukip_kent_candidate_1_1745952

-They oppose gay rights

-They want the NHS cut blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/benedictbrogan/100257048/nigel-farage-the-tories-have-failed-only-ukip-dares-cut-spending-on-nhs-and-pensions

Make sure you don't let them win by failing to turn out. Vote Labour.

Don't forget Godfey Bloom's sexism either or the victim blaming on rape by Roger Helmer MEP

UKIP is for those who don't understand the European Union, therefore, they don't like it.
I won't be gracing them with vote.

No. Green.

It's a close UKIP-Labour contest. A vote for Green is a wasted vote.

I'm never going to vote UKIP, but can't see myself voting Labour either. I honestly think the best thing Labour can do is get rid of Ed Miliband.

I certainly won't be voting UKIP, for all those reasons and others.

But I won't be voting Labour either until they can find an acceptable leadership that's not tarnished by the Blair/Brown fiasco.

Good run down of reasons to avoid UKIP but ruined it with the last bit- 'vote labour'? No thanks!

Oh, and no vote is wasted if its used.

Yes, I don't want to be paid the same wage as someone with a penis because I don't deserve it as I've only got a vagina.

Also I don't want maternity leave, it's uppity of me to even think I've got the right to function in society when I've got the reproductive organs which actually produce the children.

And also, I think it's quite right that I should be able to laugh off a little bit of rape and sexual assault in an attractive, feminine manner and not make a fuss about it.

Where do I put my cross?

Labour is the only party offering a real alternative to the ConDems. Labour has promised an energy bill freeze and Ed Milliband is not really tainted by the Blair-Brown saga, he has only been an MP since 2005.
UKIP is leading Labour in polls at the moment, and it's going to be a two-horse race

jharris I said an acceptable leadership.
For me that means someone with drive, charisma, and experience in public office.

Which party are you from, OP? You have only joined to slag off UKIP, so I don't think you are one of them. Maybe you should have a peek at the Electorial Commission web site, you may find it useful.

I think the point she's trying to make here is you've clearly joined this site to plug labour.

I'm a sucker for the underdog. I voted ukip when I was 18. I thought I was voting for the independent candidate and worried no one else would vote for them if I didn't.

It's a mistake I've never lived down!!

Good for you. You want to take Britain back to the stone age.
