General Election: Who the hell am I going to vote for???

Beckie, there's an on/off button to your television/radio!

 

Yes the buttons are almost worn up!!!!

 

In my experience, most people felt that the time when they were young and getting their first taste of adult life but without too much responsibility was the best. My children and their friends look back at the late 80s and 90s with nostalgia whereas my generation always plump for the late 60s and 70s. On that basis maybe in 25/30 years people will say that 2014/15 was great.

 

Thank you.

I agree, some posts had become uncomfortable as frequently happens when the discussion heats up. I think we do need to remember that when all is said and done it is a public forum.

Sometimes I'd like another button (as with the "like" etc) which is somewhere along the lines of disliking, uncomfortable or "I'm stepping back" rather than disagreeing which can serve to fuel it further.

 

Had my voting card Friday, it was so cold it went straight into the log burner

 

Did you say a prayer for the candidate/s you were .... cremating?

Disclaimer: this is not a direct attack on Jiffster, his decision to fuel the fire or his opinion on voting; nor is it in any way a suggestion that praying over a log burner is a necessity (other methods of expressing personal faith are available)

 

No
But i did get my moneys worth of warmth from the voting card on the fire being that i payed for it in my taxies

 

It must be costing a lot of money this election as to lot the leaflets coming through the door, Con's and labour are neck and neck with the amount of paper, do they care about the environment,No, as in for the last mouth all my post every day is con's and labour leaflets but not sundays as thats a day of rest

 

Most of my leaflets are Lib Dem ones slating the conservative party candidate and the amount of leaflets that are coming in different formats from them is ridiculous yet they all say the same thing.

Vote for the candidate that lives in solihull not the tory londoner. What makes me laugh is the tory londoner is originally from up north and lives in solihull now and the lib dem runner isn't from solihull initially anyway lol its pathetic.

So far the mix i have had is a handwritten letter that has been printed loads of times where i could barely read the handwriting, newspaper style stuff, gloss leaflets, dull leaflets, printed letters etc

Im so bored of it and anything that has been sent to me since last thursday is completely wasted as I have already voted

so the election is officially over and has been for a week as far as i am concerned lol

 

I saw some graffiti that said...
"Apathy is the great British disease" - underneath it was scrawled
"so what?"

 

So....what do you make of Milliband meeting up with Russell Brand?
For those who are quick to diss Brand he has a substantial following
(around 1 million was quoted on LBC), via his youtube The Trews and
9.5 million on twitter! (That's half a million more than Labour are getting!)

I was listening to a phone in radio programme on this...someone said that it is a shrewd move by Milliband to gain many more votes....could well be!

Anyone watch Newzoids on TV? It's like the satirical Spitting Images and on again tonight, ITV @ 9 p.m (well, in London area).

Last week they easily mocked Farage for having a German wife.
Lack of integrity there!
