Now if there's no strong Government (with one or other of the two main parties) running the show, these minor troublemakers will attempt to blackmail the main party of their choice in order to gain ministerial jobs and influence any proposed changes in legislation for their own ends.

 

That's hardly democratic? A minority comprised of disaffected turncoats having far more influence than they deserve is not the way things ought to be.

 

Soooooo, do the right thing, get out there and vote, vote, vote for one of the main parties.

Quite frankly - I have never read such utter rubbish! Based on this sort of logic there would never be any change - and everything would remain static ever spiralling downward towards decay for most working people.

I for one do not believe that any of the main parties represent me fully - I realise that may result in Nicola Sturgeon taking the reigns - that's if Labour choose to let her! However if the Scots want to paint their bums blue and live in cookoo land - then I'll vote with my feet and never buy another bottle of Scotch whisky - only Irish, which is actually better anyway! For everyone thinking of voting SNP - Alex and Nicola were going to rely on North Sea Oil to finance Independence - that was before the price of oil plummeted - where would they be now had the vote gone in their favour?

As for the liberals - what a joke, Clegg would sell his soul to the devil and say black was white to be in power - and so would that idot Danny Alexander! Hopefully they will both lose their seats!

When I was young my older brother said I should vote Conservative - "because if I didn't Labour would take everything I had off me." I quickly pointed out I hadn't got anything - so they'd be lucky to take it off me!

We have had labour government after labour and we always end up near to bankrupt!

Remember Tony Blair - man of the people and now a multi millionaire with in excess of 100 staff working for him! He's now trying to sort out the Middle East and it's in more turmoil than it's ever been in! His government left us with massive debts, aircraft carriers with no planes to use on them, state of the art fire stations that remain empty because the technology to go in them was not available and he opened the door to more immigrants than we know we have - because we're still not sure and still counting!

Judging by the thousands making their way from the Med (this weekend) - and they themselves say  they are coming to London and Birmingham to name just two of the popular destinations on the list. I see all these potential brain surgeons selling the Big Issue and begging on our streets - wonderful just what was needed to help our economy!

My message would be the only way to get any change is to create a bit of turmoil in the system - remember how the IRA blew up the city in the 90's - and suddenly they end up in government - not suggesting we follow their example but maybe more like the voting for an alternate party, in other words tactical voting!

Finally and most importantly - the NHS is falling apart!  I know from my recent experience as a self employed working man who has been ill with an unknown virus that has caused me to pass out 19 times. However I could not even get doctors appointments - it's time we seriously considered if the NHS can continue in its current form! BUT that's an election loser for any party to even suggest any change to its current endlessly growing budget 1 billion, 10 billion - where will it all end? 

Never mind if you want everything to continue on as it is, do as CD says and just vote Labour or Conservative and eventually it will fall apart anyway!!
