Being from Northern Ireland, my voting options are not good.
Can't vote for the main 4 parties because they are too sectarian. Their positions on issues like flags, parades and the past are too entrenched in their own sides of the community.
Can't vote conservative because that is a vote for religious dogma.
Can't vote libertarian because it is not an option on the ballot. None of the parties operating in NI can be called anywhere near libertarian.
Even independent candidates often go independent because their parties don't spew enough sectarian religious dogma.
That just leaves liberal with Alliance or Greens, and the Greens don't even run in my constituency so I will likely be voting Alliance (assuming we don't get a decent independent candidate).
Of course none of it will matter as election outcomes are depressingly predictable as Sinn Fein and DUP will, once again, be the biggest parties in the country.
Oh for a good fiscally conservative, socially liberal party.
What are you basing that on? and seriously how can they be a worse option than Labour and the Tories?
why would it?
I know, if everyone said that. But they don't.
They might be criminally insane, but at least you know what your getting yourself into
With cons, libs, lab, ukip its more a case of choosing a lesser evil, and these days they seem to be singing from the same hymn sheet anyway
My constituency is "safe" (large demographic of senior voters) to an extent that even when UKIP had their "flavor of the month" moment our councils other seats spread between the other 3 parties simply agreed to cockblock them at council meetings
So I suppose I am somewhat disillusioned with the whole process, then again I'm still slightly bitter that Batman did not win the police commissioner vote so what do i know
History. A great many people thought something similar about the Lib Dems.
There's always the Church of the Militant Elvis Party.
Labour are too hit and miss, LIb Dems too weak and I hate both the Tories and UKIP
I will be voting for Plaid, unless there is a chance that my MP can be unseated by Labour, in which case I shall tactically vote for them.
Do you really expect them to get enough seats to form a government
That made me smile
It's funny cos it's true.
I can't take the credit though as it was shamelessly stolen from a Stan Collymore tweet.
Don't think like that - every vote against the Conservative Party counts.
Here you could stick a blue badge on a skunk as MP and they would still vote Tory. I will vote for whichever party can dent that Tory vote the most.
That'll be UKIP then.
Yeah if you want a Labour government
