We all need government to represent our unity, rather than our divisions. My own government is most guilty of this, trying to keep people down by playing on what separates them, rather than what unites them. In America, few want to go to any more trouble than turning on the telly and getting Mr. Merdehocks twisted vision of what the ultra-right wants people to have, and the left is too apathetic and arrogant to do anything about it. If we can just get people to get out on bicycles and meet other people and learn their views, perhaps we can find out that the other fellow is not quite so different as we might imagine. I will now yield the floor.Trouble is Monty, you might seriously agree with one party or another on ONE thing or another in particular, but find yourself unable to accept a lot of the other stuff that that party backs..i know I do all the time.
What REALLY gets my goat is cheap political promises when an election is looming, they're all doing it and seriously expect voters to be swayed by piffling promises that are just window dressing in the scheme of things.
I gotta say, when the Lib Dems got in, I had high hopes that something might really change, away from the big two...bit naïve eh .
Personally I like the idea of a coalition, keep them in check a bit so's to speak, all this lurching from one ideology to another every 4 to 8 years is bad for the country. All the major institutions (education, NHS. armed services etc) suffer because everything the previous government put in place gets torn up and they start have to all over again..no wonder we still have kids leaving school unable to read etc etc. Christ, they've been on about it for my 40 years as an adult, you'd think we could have got just that right wouldn't you ?
B*llocks.You voting for Roger Melly again then?

Vote for the candidate that you think will best represent your interests. Don't be like those chumps (I'm sure you're not) who think they're voting for Cameron/Milliband/the dull bloke, even they they don't actually live in their constituency.

Here's the constituency stats for Lancaster and Fleetwood, which I assume is where you are:Not sure who to vote for this time round... all i know is i won't be voting UKIP and am very much tempted to vote against them, which i think they call strategic or tactical voting. but being a bit dim, where would a vote against UKIP best be cast?
I have a general distrust of politicians and often abstain from voting, but that's not going to change anything. How can democracy bring about change when all we can do is vote for politicians?
Municipal elections have half the calories.No. I'm on a diet.
