But that's just like voting super-Tory. Or the BNP, as they're also known.


I'm probably going to go with the AV option. Just to shake things up a bit. We've become complacent with the system we have.
And I'd still like to see a properly centre-left Liberal government in place, without being abused by the Tories.

I was joking about UKIP. I think that the public wanted a centre left coalition rather than a right wing administration supported by a closet Tory leading the Liberals.

I've said it before, and here I go again...

If none of the broken political parties offer a sensible choice, vote for an INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE.

You don't have to vote for a party at all.

Maggie eliminated that choice by raising the cost of standing considerably. You only see independents at by-elections, or when a key local issue is not being address like the hospital closure in the west country. I would vote for an independent if they were there.

Cool. You've seen the candidate lists in your area already? We haven't. I have no idea if there is any independent standing this time round until I see the list.

Still seen no list of candidates, though they are looking for local parish councillors. I would consider standing as an independent.
