    Conservative. Better the devil you know and growth is continuing. Seems silly to change the course of recovery.

    My Lib Dem vote is noting to do with the policies of the turncoat leadership, but support for a very good constituency MP (who hasn't taken the Tory shilling to screw the country)

    Interesting that your poll matches the opinion polls fairly closely with the exception of the UKIP / Tories share.

    Trouble is I live in the Socialist Republic of Hackney - no point in voting basically, if a monkey was wearing a Red Rosette it would get elected. Sometimes vote Liberal as a protest vote to damage Labour - but so far no chance of that happening. >:(

    Live in Wakefield so I've got the same problem. To be honest I'm thinking of not voting. Don't really want to waste mine and I don't want the Eds in control of the country.

    But if I was to vote I would vote Conservative.

    Labour, because the local MP is someone I have a lot of time and respect for. He is a good MP for the area IMO.

    Would that be Planet Mongo South or Planet Mongo North?

    I believe on is marginal, and the other safe.

    Ming is vilified in the press but he does do a lot to combat the threat of hawkmen. :p

    The party most likely to oust the Tories. Although, my heart lies with th Green Party.

    That is exactly who people should be voting for. Regardless of what party an MP represents, if they are good, decent people and genuinely work hard for the constituent, then they should get voted for. Often voting for a party regardless of candidate can result in total buffoons getting elected. If my MP was a decent Labour bloke I'd vote for him. But he isn't. He's an egotistic Tory (Richard Benyon - embarrassingly did nothing to prevent the Somerset floods), but is the best out of the others.
