Who Do I Vote For 2010 Uk

Shawn Said:

Which UK Political Party Should I Vote For?

We Answered:

Vote for the ME ME ME party. The UK is full of greed and avarice these days, that's what drives it.

You've got to make your own mind up, but if I were you, I would keep it to yourself. It's a secret ballot in this country, and that's the only thing good I can say about the vote in the UK.

UK General Election Results May 6th 2010?

We Answered:

None of them are talking about it because it would be a bonkers decision which would be guarenteed to lose them the vote. Simple as that. Even if you like the idea personally, the majority of the voting public do appreciate being in the EU. It may have its pitfalls, but ultimately it's much better than how things used to be before we all joined up together. How do you think countries like the UK would fair on our own against competition from China and America? The African Union (AU) is also gearing up to make a fair old competitive strike against the bigger economies. Collectively we're a much more powerful force than we are separately. As an example, wouldn't you think it a bit nuts if some county like Cornwall actually went independent, had to fund their own parliament, set up their own military, and police force, print their own money, have a central bank to manage their own economy and so on? It would be hugely expensive. Being in the EU allows us to share common expenses and utilise common assets. It's not a con that we've somehow become caught up in, it's a really really useful political force! The biggest problem we have is the lack of interest in the media into the way the EU works and the benefits it brings (including human rights, shorter working time, better holidays etc). Don't just assume it's all bad before looking into the good things it does as well as the bad.

Javier Said:

Why do 1/8th of the electorate get to have their party rule over the other 7/8th of the UK?

We Answered:

If you correct the number errors, it comes to 37% of the registered voters having voted either Conservative or Lib Dem, rather than 1/8, but your point remains that the views of a minority are being imposed on everyone.

The fact of the matter is, you will never get more than 50% of the electorate voting for a single party in a multi-party, optional electoral system. So, we can either do it our way (first past the post) or bring in some form of proportional representation and coalition governments to reach 50%. But, as we've seen from the current coalition, this leaves a lot of voters unhappy because they feel their party has sold out on its pledges in order to be at the high table.

Katrina Said:

UK coalition government your thoughts?

We Answered:

Regretfully I voted Liberal in a marginal seat and the TORY won. Now, it turns out I actually voted Tory by miscalculation. Now, your question. This unholy coalition is failing to even consider the basic requirements or attitudes of the general public and are announcing policies which have no basis in majority opinion. I preferred the Brown crowd on the basis I knew where I stood and could manage, through the back door so to speak, to achieve what I needed to get along with what is left of my fairly long life. Finally, no I can see no long term future for this divisive mish-mash

Jesse Said:

Does anybody know where I can find a website that will help me make up my mind who to vote for?
