Voting Tory once to get NuLab out - then will move onto LibDems probably...

After that Id rather make my own damn party because they all fail so miserably to execute moral decisions both domestically and internationally - in the British sense of morality.

Who the hell voted labour - and what are they smoking??? Wallpaper paste? Grass? Rubber?

Honestly there is no reason to vote Labour again, they are not leftist, they cannot handle the economy - not that anyone else can - and will keep up the immoral and shortterm policies that will be the death of this country and its pride...

Labour supporters need shooting...twice.

Yes but what are the choices? Do you think the Conservatives are going to be better at taking care of the 'small guy'? This crisis is, in large part, a crisis of the supply-side, Thatcherite economic theories... The LibDems? I like their anti-war stance but what are they proposing now that is different from the others? The Greens? They look cool on paper but talk about inexperienced hands!! So... what?

The West lack a genuine liberal, democratic, socialist party. i.e. a party that says 'what goes on in your bedrooms is none of my business' plus 'what goes on in the market place is totally my business' plus 'fairness and thus trying our best to level the playing field to have a true meritocracy is our guiding principle'...

Nobody does that anymore...

Except for the Greens and MK(and you're not Cornish.), they are probably the best party.

Who else is there?

Nulabour; fuck no.

The Tories; not likely.

Lid dems; hahahaha.

UKIP; the rightwing of the tories.

The BNP; let's not even go there.

Greens or liberals or maybe MK it is then.

So let's vote for a party that has about three members and no chance of election.

Sure, it will never get elected otherwise and no change will occur.

Unless you are happy with the current choices.

Who else is there to vote for?

BD has a point here - in first past the post whole swathes of votes are wasted anyway, so most of the time if you don't agree with the dominant party locally you might as well just use yours to make a statement and hope something comes of it. I don't know if this is the case in his constituency.

Though I suppose that's less true at the moment with the big swings against Labour pretty much everywhere.

Cornwall is currently in lib dems hands, I wouldn't vote for them. They got elected campaigning on more Cornish autonomy and have done very little, plus they are the most europhuile of the main parties, economic social democrats, almost as politically correct as labour and almost as ready to use the state for this purpose and also very uniservalist and atomist.

But the Tories, the other party with probably a serious chance in Cornwall, are little better unless the direct democracy campaign among some of their ranks really takes off. If they were more sympathetic to Cornwall's autonomy I might actually consider them quite a bit better than the Lib dems at least they are the least europhile, universalist, PC and atomistic party.

No one else is likely to win a seat in Cornwall unless MK really does something spectacular.
