Well you can, just electrolyze it into H and O to get the materials for Nuclear Fusion... Oh wait, D'oh!

No. *starts Barry White record*

Anyway, either Greens, some kind of Socialist Party or Raving Monster Loony Party.
Mostly Green Party though.

I've never been a "solid" voter (you know "Labour till I die" or "Of course I'll vote Tory, what's the name of the chap who is standing, this time?"), sometimes even making the final decision even as I'm staring at the ballot paper, but the following lines of thought come to mind, were I being asked right now to vote... (Although some of these are long-held opinions.)

I dislike parties like Respect. I find Nigel Farage annoying enough to poison the (already less-than-convincing) party he represents. (Actually, the same also goes for George Galloway in his own right, thinking about it.) I don't credit the Conservatives for the recovery, at all (in fact, I think they made it more painful). I'm still somewhat dissapointed with the Lib Dems (a party I've historically supported, at least as much as any other), but I'm sure it's better with ConDem than just with Con. If it was ever New Labour directly v.s. the Old type I'd prefer the honest Old one, although with reservations about the more extreme Leftish areas I'd be subscribing to, by proxy. I'm not a (regional) Nationalist of any kind, nor a Republican, so various one-trick/few-tricks pony parties of those flavours don't appeal to me. Finally: My local MP is pretty much welded to his seat (and I don't dislike them as a person, either), so I can't imagine how (or, indeed why) I should bother to try to unseat them on this occasion1.

But one party I've not yet had an opportunity to vote for (and may jump at the chance, should I ever get it) would be Official Monster Raving Loony Party. Assuming I can't see any other party I must vote for, for some reason, if they arrived on my ballot paper they'd definitely get my vote. No, I'm not the kind of person to stand on that platform myself, before you ask.

(The above counts for all levels, from Westminster MPs at all regional levels down to local council or even parish elections, etc.)

1 The most I can do is to 'send a message', but I've not yet worked out how my 'message' could best be spelled out. e.g. "S", "P", "O", "I", "L", "E", "D", "<space>", "B", "A", "L", "L", "O", "T". Although that's one of the few ways (not otherwise ruled out) that, so far as I know, I haven't voted for. I have been too busy to actually go and vote, but that's different.

Sorry, but I was being deliberately vague about that (and, for example, what length of time they, or their party, had been Safely Sat In The Seat already). When I (re)joined the forums I set myself a limit of how accurate I'd be about my locale, and that's the wrong side of the line.

Put it this way, it isn't George Galloway. (Wherever he is, right now. ;) )
