Last day of campaigning and we will soon have the old/a new/a muddle of a government back in Downing Street.......and I still can't decide who I'm voting for

A vote for Guy Fawkes is a vote for blowing up the system?

Have just taken a survey that matches my views against the party's policies and suggests the one most suitable...............not what I was expecting!!

**Whisk_Luva** · 05-05-2010, 02:01 PM

Haha... well.... I know who I want to win.... just wish I was old enough to vote!

Did you watch any of the debates? Did you see any of the comedy mash-ups online? Here is one my friend found and sent me haha: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwgkyJh0yrs

Good luck deciding!

In the U.S.?

"I just did a survey and those #!($%#(#& running the thing are @^$%#* crazzzeeeeeeee!"

That is why Brit politics are more fun than ours.....Plus, people get to yell and harumph/make noises at the P.M. in the House of Commons meetings.

You mean Nick Clegg? he did well in the televised debates and went up in the polls but no one will know for sure until the results are in. All depends on whether people will actually get off their bums to cast their votes - these are the ones who can't be bothered as there is something good on the telly but are the first to moan about the state of the country

Taking this election seriously for the first time in years........

That's why we have had a minority government twice in a row....

Well, I did my bit - shame the rest of it is turning into such a muddle

People turned away from polling stations without the chance to vote as the turnout was higher than expected and they couldn't cope with the queues, some polling stations ran out of ballot papers, some voters turned up to be told they weren't on the list so couldn't vote, not all the votes have been counted yet, no majority party and to cap it all the Queen has the power to make them do it all over again! Welcome to British politics at its best ;-)
