None.

The tories need no further comment.

The greens are extremist nutcases. The libdems nor too far behind and the SNP not sufficiently distanced from their flirtation with the same.

Labour will not be able to do anything that matters economically because there's nothing that can be done within the assumptions they basically share with the tories. So they'll end up focusing on pandering to the nutcases instead.

Alba I don't know much about but judging by folk on here they're a no too.

If the SDP field a candidate I'll vote for them but I don't expect they will.
 
Question for those who want the tories out. Isn't that more important than assuming another party will be as bad and not voting?
I believe there is a website now which tells you who to vote for tactically to ensure a tory defeat. I imagine this will have much more effect in England.

No. I am sure Labour will be just as bad, and very possibly worse.

I want the tories out nonetheless because being bad shouldn't be rewarded and also they won't reform unless ousted. The same was true of Labour and any other party. Labour haven't reformed as I would like - they still seem a party of the London gentry to me - but they can try again next time. It's time for the tories to be booted, but I can want that without voting for alternatives I believe at least as bad.

You should probably add Reform M. I won't be voting for them either but they may be more popular than some listed

Thanks for adding but now a wee carp - the contemporary SDP are not the libdems nor anything like them. More like a sensible labour party.

when I said I'd vote for the sdp, the libdems are second only to the greens in who I wouldn't vote for.

Social Democratic Party

Happy to add them but I have reached the poll maximum.

Don’t bother anyway - they are small to the point of insignificance which is probably why (I assume) you’d not heard of them in current form. I just didn’t want to be taken for a lib dem voter lol
 
I won’t be able to vote because I’ll be working in a polling station. A very long day but it’s a wee bit extra cash.
 
I don’t actually know who is going to be on the ballot paper. I will vote as far left as I can.If the SSP are standing cool.But it could be Green again.
 
Difficult one. Douglas Alexander is the Labour candidate I think in my constituency and I don't like him... I think though (although obviously it isn't, though it is....) that ultimately it's a Tory PM or a Labour PM.

And sorry to upset but why would you vote for the SNP at Westminster? They've really been the most useless lot who down there have got all too cozy in the gravytrain.

I'm hoping for some local hustings before I decide.
 
Undecided. Each and every one of them are a bunch of scheisters.
the SNP shenanigans recently had me in the camp of a spoiled paper. However, I’ve become less opposed, partly in the green separation and Swinnie who I think might just settle things…
Most likely to get my vote is SNP but I’m not voting (here) until I’ve made my mind up.
 
How do you spoil a ballot paper? More to the point why? What’s the point in going to vote and not voting?
I’m thinking Other. The MRLP. Probably just as good as the rest of the comedians.
Probably SNP though.

Just like not voting it's a way of aiding the party whose voters do bother to turn out more than others in General elections. Historically tories.

Not really, although I get your point. It’s more effective if voting is compulsory, and more so if it’s an orchestrated campaign.
Trouble is - with low numbers of spoiled papers, it’s hard to differentiate with those who voted but think they are all canutes, vs those who are too thick to follow the instructions ……

I intend to write ‘none of the above’ not just deface it

This begs the question again as to what ‘left’ means. Green is about as far from ‘working class politics’ as it’s possible to get.
 
SNP but it's grudgingly. I live in one of the few Scottish seats that could still, even now, go Tory (East Renfrewshire). The SNP have been their only credible opposition here for years.

If I was voting with my conscience rather than tactically I'd really be struggling.
 
SNP.
In my area it's that or Tory.
Always has been in my lifetime.
I live in hope that one day I'll be recognised as Scottish and not fuc&ing 'British'.
What ever that may be?

It's not easy to be heard in the lower house as a small party.
More so when the whole establishment resents your very existence.
Led by a Speaker who treats you like shit on his shoe.

Cheers, still a bit daft tae me. Seems a bit of a waste of a protest, unless it’s organised and people know what they’re protesting about.
