I vote Tory naturally.

Labour won't get a majority, that's pie in the sky rubbish. I see either a Labour minority or a second Tory-Lib coalition with UKIP giving Confidence and supply for a referendum.

Personally if I'm voting based on local candidate I'll probably go Tory as our local MP doesn't seem to be too bad, if I'm voting based on national chances I'll vote UKIP as I don't see the benefit of Europe and Labour/Libdems won't offer me the choice.

Because Labour need 35% to have even the slightest hopes of getting into government, and they'll probably need more to get a majority (the current constituency boundaries gives them an advantage).

The last four YouGov polls had them at 33% and in one case, 34. The 34 was the most recent, but in the same poll the Tories achieved 34.

Labour don't have a hope of getting a majority unless there is a smooth transition of leadership (a change in leadership is unlikely this late on, a smooth was is out of the question).

The fact is UKIP for a long time were openly a racist party of angry old White men, it wasn't until around the 2008 mark when the BNP were effectively being demolished by everyone for being proudly racist, that UKIP began to modernise their tactics, and even then it hasn't been easy, there's always a looney Ukip councillor or spokesperson that comes out of the wood work and say's some horrifically offensive shit about gay's or minorities or women, and most of the time UKIP try and swiftly cover it up and deal with the perpetrator, but still, these people still exist.

Or even the odd leader making racist comments about Romanians compared to Germans.

So I did the I Side With quiz for the UK parties and here's what I got.

Liberal Democrats 66%
Labour 61%
Conservatives 58%
Green 54%
British Nationals 33%
Scottish Nationals 27%
UK Independence 20%
Plaid Cymru 12%


I'd say this is fairly accurate since I feel that if I was a British citizen I would vote for the Lib Dems although I'm pretty surprised on how I got 33% for the BNP seeing as I think they are god awful. Many it has to do with my support for an English Devolved Legislature but maybe not.

What are your economic views? The BNP are fairly leftist on economics, and if the general attitudes of NS are anything to go by, the 33% will be from that.

I consiter myself a social market capitalist so that might be it. Under review it says I side with both Labour and the BNP on economic issues.

Ah, that poll. I do it from time to time just to see how my views change :)
Its currently around 90% lib-dem followed by Tories at around 78% (then Labour).... with BNP at lowly 11% at the end.

Yeah the BNP have some random policies that no one knows about. But they're a little overshadowed by whatever else they say...

Only about 17% comes from that. That was my BNP score...and I'm one of the more left-wing NSers in both social and economic spheres. Obviously, the BNP isn't drawing on ANY of my social ideas.

I got the following:

Conservative: 69%
Liberal Democrat: 66%
Scottish National: 63%
Green: 57%

For an economically left-labour voter who leans conservative on Europe and immigration that does seem about right. Looks like the rarest of things, a good online political test :o

Yes, they will, in the Tories' favour.

Think about it, what are Labour's actual policies? The leadership wants a mansion tax, but many of their donors and MPs are against it, so it wouldn't get through Parliament. They want to increase NHS spending by £2.5 billion, but that is nowhere near the £8 billion that is required, so they may as well have pledged a middle finger. They want to eliminate the deficit by 2020, but so far they have voted against every lot of spending cuts made by the Cameron government. What else?

Could a Labour supporter kindly explain to me why anyone should vote Labour other than to stop the big old mean Tories getting into power again?
