The general Election

who do we all want to win , and why?

 

That's an impossible question for me to answer. I do not want either Labour or the Tories to win but obviously one of them will.

 

No matter who you vote for, Government wins.

 

snp for me, best of a bad bunch I'm afraid

 

I would have said SNP but it's physically impossible.

 

most likely going to be a hung parliament this year, so could be pretty messy

did anyone else hear David Cameron at PMQ's today claiming the Tory's won the Cold War

 

not from scotland??

 

What's the point?

They all have the same ideas, do nothing but lie, and are all as bent as each other.

 

I'm in Scotland yeah but even if they won every last seat in Scotland it still wouldn't be enough for them to win the election.

One of many reasons we need Independence. :icon_mrgreen:

 

I wish they had an option to cross "no vote" at least then we could be putting the point across that we dont actually want to vote for any of you *.

However, the scary thing about voter apthy, is that when people dont use there vote at all, then people like nick griffin and his buddies have a higher chance of getting into westminster

 

your contradicting yourself...you want independance but your not going to vote for SNP?

For what its worth I dont think Alex Salmond is the man to succesfully lead us to independance, but I will continue to vote SNP because I want scotland to have better representation in westminster

 

I'm not contradicting myself. I will more than likely vote SNP but the point I'm making is that under the current electoral system even if the SNP won every seat in Scotland it wouldn't matter a toss because it would still be either Labour or the Tories that would win the election.

 

Labour.

 

The Tories winning the election would be my worst nightmare

I had a dream the other night that maggie thatcher was voted back in as she was the deemed "the only person fit to sort out sorry state of a country out" and i was outside downing street protesting and the * came out and shot me in the leg. I woke up in a cold sweat, it was proper disturbing

 

There's probably a lot of people in Scotland have had that nightmare down the years!

See this is the thing.....I agree with you about the Tories but if they don't win it then Labour will. And Labour are * hopeless as well. It's really a lose - lose situation.

 

Labour are running scared , make of this what you will but i live in an area that has its centre town as Chorley , i had a letter saying that 5 villages including the 1 i live in will come under south ribble (massive labour majority) for the next election , the 5 villages are tory , Chorley overall last time became tory with a very slender majority . This move will mean that the 5 villages votes will be swallowed up in south ribbles massive labour majority ,but it means that Chorley will be able to get a labour majority too ..Its very sneaky by this government but it shows that they are scared

 

yeah, labour are far from perfect, but the tories are all for the upper class, not interest in the working class whatsoever. I actually think I would cry if Tories got into power

 

The ONLY positive I could imagine coming out of the Tories winning this election is that people in Scotland might finally get very * off of being governed by a party that:

A. Doesn't really give a * about them at the end of the day
B. Only has 1 or 2 Scottish MPs

Maybe if they get annoyed enough about it they might actually find the will to vote for Independence when the referendum comes around(if it comes around ).

 

Mon' Labour! Lesser of two evils for me.

 

Spot on.

We currently have a higher standard of living than the English thanks to the labour government keeping us sweet and over subsidizing us. If the Torries get in we will almost certainly see drastic cuts on these subsidies.

I think this is one of the reasons why Salmond has delayed this referendum, he knows if the Torries get in Scotland will be marginalized once again, which will only play in to his hands!
