The Right wing Sky TV generated debate seems to have come back and bit Murdoch in the Bum. He assumed that Plastic face Cameron with all his media training would walk away with it. Now it would seems Cleggy and his party have been given a real leg up and with Dour face Broon not coming out as bad as we all thought he we all thought he would have . But I still disagree with the coverage . In the UK unlike the good old boys in the states we have the choice of various political parties who should be given a democratic right to be given an equal playing field to get there policies across to the voting public. Even the Scottish debate have ignored the Greens and some legitimate independant canditates . Before we listen to all the crap dont forget about all the on going investigation that is still ongoing into the expenses scandel with the UK parliment.
Thank you. And why not.

Me. Not that it'll matter a jot in this constituency, mind, no matter who I vote for.

I am, I did consider not voting but I think that would be a waste. Like Josef, I don't think it will make any difference to the outcome but I think there will be surprises in marginal seats. It's going to be a long night, I'm one of those saddo's who likes to sit up and watch the results coming in.

I'll be voting - I always do - despite the drawbacks pointed out above.

I think of it as a duty considering universal suffrage hasn't been around all that long.

I will be voting and will be guided by a very specific issue I feel very strongly about.

Just been and voted and I'm glad I did, whether or not it makes a difference I don't know.

I always take the opportunity to vote when it comes around, in remembrance of the sacrifice made by young men and woman across the country during conflicts past & present particularly my grandfather's 5 brothers who all served during WW2 but never made it back to the land of their birth.

Indeed. If ever there was a good reason.

I shall cast my vote in memory of the girls who threw bricks through windows so I don't have to.

Absolutely .. off out in half an hour or so. Plan to vote before going to the physio for my shoulder injection.

Best before, might be in a foul mood afterwards and any Tory vote-monkey hanging around the polling station would be bound to get an ear-bashing.

On second thoughts, sounds like a plan.

PS. In the interests of political fairness, Labour vote-monkeys would get equal short shrift .. I'm still open to be being shmoozed by followers of Long Leggy Cleggy Weggy .. shan't vote for him, but I'd be willing to listen to a spiel without the overwhelming urge toward physical gratuity of the violent persuasion.
