to ask who you will be voting for tomorrow?

[lollyloll]

Ex Lib-Dem voter and I will probably be voting Green even though they haven't a hope in hell of getting in where I live. There are no parties that represent me 100% and I feel like the Greens are offering a lot of fresh polices (as well as quite a few crazy ones) but I am ready for change.

Totally agree David Milliband would have done much better.
I cannot stand the face of Ed or his awful voice.
He sounds more posh and public school boy than Cameron does.
I cannot imagine him representing this country and mixing with the likes of Obama etc.... Just NO!!!
They made a huge mistake on that!

Just voted, and took ds1 to vote for the first time. The polling station was deserted, just us, and they said there had been virtually no one in so far. They looked so bored!

I think it may well be viewed in retrospect as a great tragedy that David was robbed of the leadership by the unions.

I think if they lose today that will be in people's minds. And I say that as a Tory. I like and respect David. Ed, not so much.

I am a teller.48 voters since 9 am.

What time did they open? Surely most people are at work now?

He sounds more posh and public school boy than Cameron does.

Are you genuinely going to base who you vote for on someone's voice?!

Vote for policies, not personalities.

and yes, I suspect most people will be going after work. I haven't voted yet but will do so on my way home.

I honestly can't stand him.
I cannot imagine have to listen to him spout for the next 5 years.
But seriously... no that's not what I base my vote on. But it has certainly made me not even consider voting labour!

I mean, don't get me wrong, I can't stand Cameron but that's not why there's not a hell's chance of my voting Tory.

Just voted SNP- polling station busy,100s in so far.

I'm much more inclined to vote for Ed than I would have been for David if I'd been voting for personalities.
I think he's sincere and I never got that impression of his brother.

I voted Green (safe Labour seat).

prepperpig the ONS disagrees with you

and the 'oh David would have been so good' argument is just daft - no one knows that for a fact - what is fact is the Ed is the leader of the party - vote for the PARTY and it's policies - stop buying the personality politics shite

vote for the PARTY and it's policies - stop buying the personality politics shite

^This. I don't particularly like any of the leaders of the main parties truth be told. Vote for the party.

vote for the PARTY and it's policies

Arguably, the leader a party chooses tells you a lot about the party.

I think David Miliband just seemed like a (nu Labour) Blair clone. The last thing we need is another Blair and nuLabour. Not mad about Ed but at least he is his own person (but hopefully they will replace him soon after with someone a bit more Statemanlike as politics seems to be all about bravado and showmanship than policies these days).

SNP

Arguably, the leader a party chooses tells you a lot about the party.

Perhaps, but most dislike of Miliband/Cameron on here seems to stem from the fact that people don't like the way they talk or the way they eat a sandwich, which is just plain daft.

I'm considering spoiling my ballot. The parties I would consider voting for Green or Labour want to increase the minimum wage/ get rid of zero hour contract. If the zero hour thing comes into play we will have 300 staff who pick up hours here and there - to suit them - who will no longer have any work, usually parents and students who don't want to commit to 25 hrs a week etc.

An increase in minimum wage will lead to an increase in cost of living - i.e groceries will cost more as the additional cost of staffing the shop/ delivery the groceries from warehouse to store will need to be added on to the final cost. Therefore making the whole increase superfluous. You will also have salary inflation as you have to increase pay structures accordingly.

I say all this as someone who was on a minimum wage/ zero hour contract not so long ago.

To top it off I'm not well at all today so if someone would like to bring the polling station to me that would be great.

I know it's been said up thread but I never cease to be amazed at the number of Labour voters who act as though they own the moral high ground. Tory voters are not bastards, they just have a different opinion to you. Some of the posts on here read as if they were written by Kevin the Teenager.

£2M house with two kitchens and no inheritance tax for him!

This is a silly argument and pretty tired. £2M, although I know it sounds liek a lot to most of us (me included) is not that much money in context (London in the current housing market).

Cameron recently 'forgot' (or fudged, perhaps) how many houses he and his wife have.

So Erudite never came back to give some context to her outrage about 'Outreach Workers for men who have sex with men on £40 K a year' then?

And what is this new shite about food banks? Who the hell in their right mind would think they were anything but a national disgrace? Yes, people who work in them are admirable. But that doesn't change the fact that in one of the richest countries on earth, they shouldn't have to exist in the first place.

Absolutely Strangechild!

Agree completely strangechild.

yes because not voting for someone because of how he eats a butty is so mature

I can only assume the outreach worker post Erudite ranted about was an example she plucked our of thin air and which doesn't actually exist. Of course outreach worker posts supporting minority groups exist. Even in London I'd be surprised if they commanded that salary.
