Who will you vote for in the UK general election?

[Rictor]

Veritas. They have hands down the best marketing.

edit: How come there's no "The Monarchy" option? Isn't that treason or something?

[aldo_14]

I thought Veritas and UKIP were one and the same (the Moster Raving Loony Party)?

Um.... as it stands, either the SNP (Scottish National Party; in no way whatsoever related to the scummy racist bastards of the BNP in policy or political leaning) or Lib Dems.

The 2 leading parties are both lying, fear-mongering (Labour on Terrorism, Tories on asylum seekers / gypsies / anyone who isn't in their key target demographic) bastards (and other things, but they're not shared...) anyways; I literally have nothing but disgust reserved for them.

I know the BBC news ignores the existence of Scotland, N'Ireland and Wales in their election reporting, but the SNP and Plaid Cymru are still bigger parties than Veritas, UKIP, Respect or the BNP (xenophobic, xenophobic, two-faced wanker, racist parties respectively) and thus should be in that poll.  Also, where's the Green Party (again bigger than those four)?

[vyper]

I'm a protest voter, so veritas.

[aldo_14]

The Kilroy party?!  

If you want to vote on a single issue, at least vote UKIP or something that isn't a big ego-trip.  I mean, it's led by a bloke who formed it because he couldn't get elected as leader of the others.  I dread to imagine the consequences if that perma-tanned wankpot gets any (more?) media coverage.

So the Scottish National party can rule Britain?

Could some Mod/Admin add the Green Party to the poll.

The SNP can be elected to the Westminister parliament, yes.  

In terms of the seats it has candidates standing in (never mind those it could realisitically win), it's more 'likely' to rule Britain than Veritas, UKIP, Respect or the good ole Monster Raving Loonies.

Labour missed their chance. They never ever got it through their heads that they weren't voted in because we thought they were right, or that their policies were sound, not that they kept to them anyway, they got voted for because they weren't conservative, and at the time, anything was better than conservative, what with the constant embezzlement cases and MP being found dead, naked, handcuffed, in womens underwear and with an orange stuffed in their mouth. Not the sort of guy you really want represesenting you, though the dead part may be handy

I'm not letting the Connies back in if I can help it, else they'll just adopt an attitude of 'I told you so', and probably end up exactly where they were 8 years ago.

So my views at the moment are leaning towards the Lib Dems, they haven't had a go for a while, so I think we should let them drive. At least they are being honest enough to say that it will cost to pull us out of this current mess, though I can't quite figure out why their only solution is to raise taxes rather than stop spending bloated amounts of money on stupid, pointless stuff.

GOOBER!!! Stop ruining my polls!

I cast my vote for the Nazis.  Because Nazis have cool uniforms.

What, the BNP?

[Grey Wolf]

So you favor Norse gods then? Or was that BP18 or something along those lines that worshipped Odin?

?

I can only think of 'Combat 18', a notorious neo-nazi / hooligan group from the 90s.  But AFAIk they were just plain old racist/bigoted nutcases rather than worshipping Odin or the like.

[WMCoolmon]

Seriously, you guys can have him.

There was a link here to the group that I'm thinking of in some thread a while back. Really not sure what they were, but they were British Odin-worshipping neo-Nazis. Interestingly enough, in my search for this group in the last few minutes, many neo-Nazis seem to worship Odin. How odd.

The Nazis drew their 'culture' from a huge variety of sources...

[Flipside]

A lot of Nazism was based around the old Viking and Germanic Gods. A great deal of propoganda was spread around in Germany before WWII about how the 'Arians', the white skinned, Christian people of Europe, were the 'true' people and every great achievement in History was down to their involvement, including the Pyramids and Atlantis, which was the 'City of Odin'.

This is, to be perfectly honest, one of my more sinister concerns regarding some of the crap coming out of Hollywood these days.

aldo: I don't pretend to be particularly knowledgeable about British politics, but why are RESPECT two-faced wankers? As far as I know, they're just the Lib Dems taken further.

Personally, I'de like to see Labour knocked down a step or five, cause the chances of them actualyl losing the elections are tiny. Kind of like the Liberals here in Canada: they do a ton of **** wrong but people still vote them for lack of a a better choice. There's a huge scandal right now involving the Liberals, and they'll still probably win the next elections, cause none of the other parties are big enough to challenge them, except the Tories, but I don't see that people would trust them enough to give them power.

What's up with the 3 term thing? Most normal countries have a two-term limit on a single person as PM/Prez, and for good reason. Even places like Russia and other questionable democracies have a two-term limit. If Labour wins this one, which they almost certainly will, Blair will have been in power for over a decade....that's scary.
