There is an old saying " it doesn't matter who you vote for, the government always gets in ", I have never voted in my life and never will, at the end of the day they are all as bad as each other.

If you cope with a long wiki-page, here are the results by region.

Unfortunately this isn't true. While you might not like the people even in very general terms different parties have different strengths they bring to the country. For example the Conservatives have an amazing power to bring in real proper foreign investment, something this country really needs to help finances and unemployment, that neither the Lib Dems or Labour can muster.

 

Each party has their own strengths and weaknesses and voting has always really been about voting in the parties powers that are most needed. Sadly the Conservatives are needed right now.

Well what Sly says is basicly true, at least in our Country, I always think of the Democratic Goverments as a toy, they change pretty small things but there is always an invisible hand leading the whole country, some things must change for the system to hold, but the main thing never changes.

 

Thing about the UK election is that in big elections like this, if the voting rate is high the people who vote are usually after a big change, and are mostly young people, there isn't anyone above 16 in our school who didn't vote last year. So it makes me wonder why are all but the Young Adults intrested in voting in this election.

It does appear we will still have Brown in power whatever happens, so really yesterday was a complete waste of time.

i dont think so nick clegg is sayin that he will form a coalition or negotiate with the party with the most seats

I'm not sure which would be worse - The Lib Dems teaming up with the conservatives (they're pretty much complete opposites), or the conservatives forming a minority government and ruling on their own. I guess if the Lib Dems do form a coalition, they might be able to put a stop to some of Cameron's more braindead ideas, but its still not going to be good. Plus, Cameron has refused to promise electoral reform, which is something this country really needs.

 

I'm not wild about the idea of another 5 years of Labour, but it would be infinitely better than letting Cameron and his cronies in. Fingers crossed Clegg will see sense and refuse their offer.

I'm too young to vote, but I would vote for Nick Clegg. Because His system looks more appealing in general, and he is more aimed at lower, lower-middle classes. If he takes Lib-Lab, instead of Lib-Con, he would win by seats, votes and other stuff, over David Cameron. In my opinion, Lib-Lab would be the way forward to the best.

We are not rich and if we were, I wouldn't go for conservatives anyway, I heard they're cutting funding/budget on schools, libraries, hospitals, etc. to give you lower taxes, and keep enough money in their pockets.

Also I live in East Sussex, Hastings, and most of the England is taken over by Conservatives. If young were allowed to vote, then Liberal Democrats would overtake Cameron, at least in my town. My street is fully Liberal and Labour.

Here's the link to Hastings - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/election2010/results/constituency/c08.stm

Labour have always been the working class party (hence the name) but lets not forget it was they who abolished the 10p tax, increasing it to 20%.

 

To be fair I voted conservative out of local rather than national preference but any situation in which Gordon Brown is removed as prime minister works for me. His situation would be completely untennable as Prime Minister. He'll do anything to stay in power though.
