Just from interest? National polls are showing a biggish Tory lead at the moment, but interested to see what it is on here.

For the record, I'd vote for big Dave

None. They're all wankers. Why should I vote for them?

Becuase one of the "wankers" has to run the country. Therefore the least "wankish" one?? lol

Who voted 'Other'?

Me, I'd vote for an Independant Candidate if there was one and I shared the same basic views - party politics stinks!

I wouldn't be suprised as there is no other unless you're a monster raving loony & I know a lot of otherwise sound people who would and/or have entertained the BNP idea.

Labour. As long as some elements of that party still believe in representing the working classes thats where my vote will go. I prefer Gordon Brown to Tony Blair, and any of the other party leaders, but its the party we vote for in this country not the leader. That said, I have a lot of sympathy for Gordon Brown, I don't feel his bad press is justified. He is called "dour". Thta may be the case, and thank god for that after the image obsessed Blair era. This man is the most dedicated and intelligent political animal of his generation, and knows the game better than anybody, with the possible exception of Ken Clarke. He has been unlucky as well. Almost as soon as he came into the job, there were attempted terror attacks, the summer floods (when Cameron buggered off to Africa), the Northern Rock crisis (which admittedly has been handled appallingly since by the government), and the "missing discs" incidents. He has been unfairly criticised for the discs incidents. What can he personally do about idiots posting discs?

I can understand why some are seduced by the polished media displays of David Cameron, but ask people to remember that in this country we vote for a party, not a party leader. Which is why the criticism of Brown being unelected is null and void. People voted for the Labour Party and thats what they have. It is, I admit, almost inevitable that the next election will end in a hung parliament or perhaps even a narrow Tory victory. Personally I will never vote Tory. My parents struggled to bring me and my sister up when my dad was twice made redundant during the days of 3 million unemployed, and I was one of those kids who suffered from the Tories stopping free school milk. I'm hoping for a hung parliament next time round, that way, the Lib Dems will have a big say, hopefully using PR as the bargaining chip, meaning coalition government in this country and the promise of no Tory governments for a long. long time.

There's a programme on (Thursday, I think) about the wives of members of the BNP (there was also a programme last night about the wives of cross dressers). Anyway, on the trailer, there was a nice looking chap with a 'Leicester born & bred' tattoo. Might make interesting veiwing.

Just for the record, my vote goes to the Tories.

It's a hard life is it not?

I think the same happened to Weso in Oz what with the state of his bones.

An educated post, and I don't have the time to fully reply as I'm about to leave work for the day. I feel labour have made a big mess of the social state of our country. They are obsessed with over zealous policies and interfering with people's day to day lives, which I do not believe is the job of Government. I cannot understand why you think that Gordon is better than Tony? Tony was the most well oiled media machine that politics in this country has ever seen and it is clear that in parliament he is totally out foxed in debate with the Tories, he just doesn't have the answers.

He is not helped by a completely inept chancellor who he clearly has no confidence in. They have made an absolute mess of Northern Rock and of the NHS and of Schools. The taxation system has been fiddled to give people the perception that they are paying less tax.

The bottom line is that the 'brand' if you will of New Labour is now old and faded and it is going to be extremely difficult for Gordon Brown to revive it. The media are clearly against him in many cases and that will have a large influence on people's opinions.

I do commend him for his recent comments on organ donation however.

Whilst I don't think that the Tories current state is world beating they are doing what is needed to get them noticed and get them interest. This is exactly what Labour were doing 12 years ago. The Tories are not what they were 15 or 20 years ago but unfortunately they will most probably have a lot of mess to clear up when/ if they get into power so I'm guessing that they will struggle to not just blame everything on Labour. The amount of money the Gov't has borrowed is phenomenal and irresponsible.
