You should vote: Liberal Democrat
The LibDems take a strong stand against tax cuts and a strong one in favour of public services: they would make long-term residential care for the elderly free across the UK, and scrap university tuition fees. They are in favour of a ban on smoking in public places, but would relax laws on cannabis. They propose to change vehicle taxation to be based on usage rather than ownership.
You should vote: Green
The Green Party, which is of course strong on environmental issues, takes a strong position on welfare issues, but was firmly against the war in Iraq. Other key concerns are cannabis, where the party takes a liberal line, and foxhunting, which unsurprisingly the Greens are firmly against. The Greens are also anti-Europe.
Take the test at Who Should You Vote For
I voted neutral on the things I don’t really know that much about, like Europe – I don’t have an economic mind, but I didn’t vote against a ban on public smoking. However coming out as a Lib Dem and Green voter doesn’t surprise me.
I think the Labour party have come up with an interesting argument against voting for the Lib Dems. They know they’ve pissed off a lot of their supporters who will now vote Lib Dem, but they’ve tried to strike fear into them by claiming that if 1 in 10 Labour voters were to vote for the Liberal Democrats, then it could let the Conservatives into government, which I don’t think many people want at all. FUD. It might be true, many people now view the Lib Dems as the rational alternative to the Labour party who many have lost faith in, unlike the Tories who are the sinister right-wing alternative. Labour will lose far more votes to the Lib Dems than to any other party. The outcome will be interesting. I think I might bring forward my plans to live in another country if the Conservatives win the election, or the BNP win any seats. Horror of horrors. Or might it be called a Holocaust?
Today’s Conservative Party is no more right-wing than the current Labour government.In fact New Labour are ‘better’ Tories than the Tories themselves.
Labour/Conservative .. Howard/Blair ? They’re pretty much the same.
Love them or loathe them – at least the BNP do actually stand for something.
Please what do they stand for does anyone really know. I agree with adam i think that i will flee to another country if the tories do come into power. I think that everyone forgets that they are the reason that I have to pay 1000 rent for a cheap place because they took away rent control and come on people think Brian Mulroney. Need i say more!!!!
