Have your voting intentions changed?
 
After this expenses mess has been exposed?

Labour, Tories and the Lib Dems have been caught commiting fraud at the worst, betraying the taxpayers at the very least.

I did once think we had the least corrupt Government in the world ...... turns out that some banana republics are more honourable!

We need those involved to be sacked forthwith and by-Elections held.

How has it affected your voting intentions?

Not at all.

I have never voted, and going by current views on politics, I don't see my POV changing for a looong time.

Sorry, and with all due respect as I think the intentions of the comment are genuine, but this type of comment REALLY gets on my nerves.

This is a democracy, the fact that people fought and died yeh, yeh, yeh.
They fought and died ONLY to give me a CHOICE as to what I do with MY vote. What I decide to do with MY vote is up to me.

I find it HIGHLY offensive that that people think they have the right to TELL me I should vote.


FWIW, I think the only way these sleazy b@stards will understand the rage felt by the public, especially in this current climate is by NOT voting. These people live of our votes. By sending the message that if you step out of line (and I hope this whole thing turns into a criminal investigation tbh) the PEOPLE who put you there WILL remove you, or at least give you one hell of a scare.

The real issue here is that Pete's trying to start another political "debate" ;) And I personally think that IN THE EVENT THAT I VOTE, what choice do you have?

The parties are all stinking turds - which one do you want to pick up? I finding this a really difficult decision. It's a game really. Once you know the rules, YOU determine (and have the right ;) ) as to whether or not you want to play.

Well said. All the parties are terrible imho, so I'd rather not vote at all then vote for the best of a bad bunch. The only way I would vote in the current climate was if it was a mandatory proceedure, which then fettles with free will.

I simply won't vote for something I think is awful - pretty much politics in general.

drumsterphil 15 May 2009 08:04 AM

Reckon the Queen should just disolve Parliament and take back the reigns (sp?) -

"off to the Tower you go Mr Clown" :D

has a nice ring to it for me....................

ScoobyDoo555 15 May 2009 08:31 AM

The same thought had occurred to me - my one work mate is a MAJOR anti-royalist, so it wound him up somewhat...... which was nice ;) :D

me to, i think i am swinging this way myself.

douglasb 15 May 2009 09:19 AM

That'll be the honest and upright UKIP, none of whose members would ever have their snouts in the trough? Tom Wise Ashley Mote

subaruturbo_18 15 May 2009 09:34 AM

Hmm, part of me wants to say BNP, bit for some reason I feel ignorant in doing so. I think I'll go with UKIP

tanyatriangles 15 May 2009 09:37 AM

Aye, UKIP, who campaigned at the last Euro elections that they would act to bring it down, claim nowt etc etc, then took their seats and the claims started to go in........snouts in the trough.

I'm voting BNP:D

G00ner 15 May 2009 09:48 AM

Pigs round a trough the lot of them! :mad:

They are no better than benefit cheats, except MP's are being given the chance to repay what they have fiddled.

r32 15 May 2009 12:06 PM

Probably changed my view in the Eu elections, I'll vote UKIP.

Do you know we pay £40 million each week to be a member of this crap club?

So do other member states, but they get more out of it by asking for more, plus they ignore stupid rules that don't benefit their population, unlike our anal governments who enforce every rule to the hilt.

UKIP are as dishonest as the rest. Ask yourself this: if they got us out of the EC, who would we trade with? Certainly not any of our commonwealth countries, and the rest could hold us to ransome.

The best bet would be to have a British government with enough backbone to do what the other member states do.

stilover 15 May 2009 01:27 PM

Still voting Tories.

As much as I'd like to vote BNP to show those in power/next in power that we (the uk citizens) are getting fed up with the UK being the worlds Benefit/housing office.

Sadly only a Vote for the Tories will get Flash and the rest of his tw*ts out.

SunnySideUp 15 May 2009 01:42 PM

If you do not vote then you give up your right to complain about who gets in and what they do ..... your lack of voting gives whoever wins a vote of support from yourself.

Think on it - USE YOUR VOTE!

No it doesn't. It means simply that I do not wish to vote for any particular party as they-re all as bad as each other. It certainly doesn't mean I have no right to to complain about any or all of them.:thumb:

The way you typed that, I thought i was in a politically correct nanny state...



































Oh wait... :wonder:

SunnySideUp 15 May 2009 01:48 PM

No vote = no right to complain ....... simple principle, understood by most. :D

chocolate_o_brian 15 May 2009 01:52 PM

For the record, posties just been. Had a leaflet for the BNP, UKIP, Green Party and Lib Dems. Didn't even look at the smug faces on any of them. They had the same fate as the ones that arrived yesterday and the day before, straight into the paper recycling bin.

There I don't vote but do my bit for the economy :D

Pete - I don't wanna vote, but I'll reserve my FREEWILL right to complain and moan about all parties. :lol1:

MJW 15 May 2009 01:55 PM

If people don't vote then the status quo will remain. Voting for BNP is not a protest vote though - for starters they consist mainly of criminals and secondly, the councillors they've had in place are a total shower of sh*te. UKIP are as bent as the main 3 parties which basically means anyone wanting to register a protest vote would be better off going with a completely independent MP. After we've seen their expenses receipts of course ...
