lol, genius! but you know what I meant.

BNP would have their 5yr olds vote if they could spell "X"

One thing I find very amusing is the fact that the Conservatives initial slogan was: Vote for change!

The advert worked; loads of people started voting for Lib-dem, instead of Labour.

something else to add, maybe to jog a few memories but a local labour mp is this nutter.

If I'm honest its not suprising considering the population withing the constituancy he represents, even less suprising that the next constituancy over is one of the few BNP holds.

I think a lot of people will make up their minds in the polling booth in this election. Should be a close one and I'm hoping for a Labour/Lib Dem coalition but expecting a hung parliament.

Me too, but when I looked at their policies they mostly made sense

If their political raison d'etre wasn't so fruit loops I might even have voted for them...

Re: The 'org Election Special Thread
 

I sadly think the same, complete joke if that is the case.

For even greater laughs, set the vote share to one third for each of the big three and see how many seats each party wins:

Hmm, fiddling the constituency boundaries much?

Which is why we need to ditch FPTP and get PR.

No government in the last few decades has had more than a third of the vote yet somehow that gives them the right to decide policy affecting the entire country. If you believe in democracy, you have to support PR.

Ironically we almost had PR in 1917 but it got dumped after the Lords and the Commons couldn't decide between AV and STV. Imagine how different things could have been - we would never have had a Tory government if PR went through back then.
