UK General Election 2010

[United Southernours]

It's not working for me either, I guess it's more popular with the web than the actual voters.

EDIT: Success, well, a bit anyway. It half loaded and then died.

I got their manifesto:

Abolish Income tax – National revenue from Income tax will gradually be replaced with a flat land tax. This will create a market in land, as the few landowners of Britain rush to dispose of their tax liability. Local revenues will be raised by means tested income tax, including tax breaks for food and energy production.

Nationalise Water Supply – Water is a fundamental need for life, a nations government should have few duties beyond its safe supply. What is taxation for but to provide essentials for the people who pay them.

Energy For Every Home – there are 24 million residences in the UK. Fitting each one with modest wind and solar power systems will cost less than Trident. This will give every home its own light and power. If you need more you pay for it, grid electricity will be taxed.

Equal Partners With Business – Corporation tax will be set at 50%. Those who wish to profit from the people of this land are welcome…as partners. Individuals and small businesses will be exempt.

Land For Peasants – Social land , like social housing, will be made available to those who wish to support themselves by their own means. To be part of our nation will mean the right to part of that nation. In a Landocracy all the people share rights and responsibilities to the land of their nation, not just a few.

A New Oath – The oath to god and the queen will be replaced. All public servants will take an oath to “Serve the people honestly and conserve the land of our nation”

None Of The Above – We will add None of the above to the ballot in all UK elections. If your views are not represented your vote will still count.

Vote Landless Peasant

It's not perfectly in line with my ancom views, but it's pretty damn good for a political party. I'd vote for it.

Like I said, I'm a Tory/BNP (Almost) and this thing is pretty damn good.

[Eradium]

So far Labour seems to be doing better than anyone predicted.

Which i'll bet is worrying for Cameron.

Perhaps Cameron shouldn't have been so smug these past few days, I'd love Lab to beat him, purely to wipe the smile of his face. To quote Armando Iannucci,

Labs, Lib Dems, Others: Charge! There's 1 more hour to stop Pudge-Face and his Moon-eyed Loons.

[Tagmatium]

Here's a thought.

What happens if Labour and Tories actually tie the house in a hung parliament? I mean a dead heat? What the fuck do we do then?

Riot in the street. We have the tyre irons, they've got the horses and hounds from fox hunting.

(Which, admittedly, I'm actually pro...)

I got a crossbow! I'll get some MPs!

I've got a bright-green F2000 BB gun, we can start our own somewhat-armed revolution.

Admittedly, I've already had the police called on me once about BB guns, but last time it was thought by someone near us that we'd smuggled AKs back from Afghanistan or something.

The two women PCs didn't really agree with that and seemed absolutely fine, just gave us a mild warning about not shooting birds and into other people's gardens.

I would vote 'Monster Raving Loony'

I was going to, but our local candidate died a few years ago.

[Inherentjoydom]

No social land!

Semi-Armed rebellion, I'm all for it. Now we just need someone with a big stick...

[Tagmatium]

I'm pretty much the same, while I seriously don't want Cameron and his cronies in power, and while I like the idea of the LibDems but I'm not convinced, that doesn't mean I'm excited by Labour remaining in power,

This is basically the story for the election in my point of view. I stood at the polling booth for too long, and could have stood there longer, umming and ahing about which way to vote. I nearly went for LibDem, but then I toed the party line and went for Labour, just like I'd been brought up to do.

EDIT: Added a bit of a disclaimer.

I got me a crowbar and a brick hammer...

Which I had to wrap up when I bought it, lest the coppers think I was a serial killer.

[The Imperial Navy]

Currently 46 Labour seats to 30 Conservative seats. Looks like it's gonna be very close...

I'm sure combined damage we could do some damage. I have and old lorry we can drive around in too.

[Chumblywumbly]

Lembit Opik's been knocked out by the Tories.

But are they gaining enough seats?

Aren't you a Tory? I suspect we'd probably end up doing more damage to each other

Looks like the Tories have gained quite a few in the last few minutes, by the way.

[Charlotte Ryberg]

Over to Montgomeryshire and I am impressed in my opinion on the Acting Returning Officer's ability to transcribe both languages so well.

Well done to Conservatives too, CON Gain

They're not doing that much better. The swing to the Tories in some areas has been appallingly high, other oddly low. When the Tories first started getting seats you could almost hear my family emigrate...

[South Norwega]

Lembit Opik's been knocked out by the Tories.

Quite a massive swing.

The Tories seem to be picking up in Wales a bit.

That's a huge crash! Congrats to the tories, but dear lord, 13%!

[Waterlow]

What the fuck happened in Montgomeryshire?

Screw politics, property damage is far more fun!

Probably not, which hopefully means the smug git will be removed as party leader soon.

Ye-esssss, everything is proceeding as I have foreseen, soon the rebels will be crushed..

...because the end result, in my opinion, will play out the same, that when it comes to putting pen to paper, more people will vote Labour than they'd care to say in polling.

[Helertia]

100 SEATS DECLARED!

So far majority Labour, terribly poor Lib Dem showing, variations but the Tory swing is about as expected.

[The Imperial Navy]

I really do fear a hung parliament. It would mean both sides likely veto'ing each others ideas... then nothing will get done.

[The Archregimancy]

Conservatives have defeated Lembit Opik in Montgomeryshire.

That's a big, big Lib Dem loss as they've held the seat almost continuously since the 19th century, even when the old Liberal Party was at its 5 seat nadir, except for a brief period under Thatcher.

Perhaps the locals were just tired of Opik's extremely colourful profile.

Pretty much the same here to be honest.

Over to Montgomeryshire and I am impressed in my opinion on the Acting Returning Officer's ability to transcribe both languages so well.

I wasn't - he was clearly really struggling with the Welsh, stumbling over the language on multiple occasions. And that in seat with a large Welsh-speaking population in the west.
