who would you vote for?
The poll options include all parties with sitting MP(s) in the House of Commons.

I disagree. It was widely reported that the feeling at the Labour conference was that the party would only spend one term in opposition, so I was curious to see if there was anything in it.

We've got over two years before the next general election - time a plenty for Labour or Lib/Con to fcuk up, or change their manifesto promises to suit what they think the current mood of the public is. Not that any of them can be trusted to uphold such promises.
My point is, speculation based on current popularity of any given party is irrelevant.

I'm one of those faithful Lib Dem types that's voted the same way ever since they were old enough, except that one time I voted for the Green Party.
I don't really like any of the options, and I don't really pay enough attention to fully justify my vote, but generally they seem like the least disagreeable option.

No idea.
It's the same old rhetoric and the same old balls up. I'd never vote Tory though.
I wish they'd get their PR people to come up with a new phrase though, doing the 'right thing' has been getting on my nerves for years now.

All politicians are as bad as one another.

There's no "None" option - or does Pie cover that? If so, gimme a slice of that pie!

The reason the poll is "irrelevant" is because you already know that 404 would vote PIE! every time  I don't think we're a very representative sample...

I'm for pie. If it was tomorrow, I'd care even less than I ever have before. I'm far more interested in Romney catching up to Obama with the debate. This makes me laugh/annoyed Dan. If it's the same old rhetoric and the same old balls up (which it is), why single out one party that you'd NEVER vote for. They're all [LIFTED], no need to exclude one for some [LIFTED] prejudiced reason. May as well say I'd never vote (which incidentally is a better plan, it's less hassle and makes zero difference anyway).
