Over the last few years I really have given up on them - there is absolutely nothing I can find to make any of them worth voting for. Last time I voted I chose the Green party as I'd rather chop off my own leg than vote for Blair or the Tories in the current mess we are in.

You should have had 'none' as an option. At this minute I don't subscribe to the politics of any of the above parties.

"None" option now added! :thumbsup:

Doh! I would of picked 'none' if it was there but went with Green - oh well.

I voted for the Tories in the last election because I didn't want to keep Blair in power, and the Tories were the only real opposition. With the conservatives in the state they're in at the moment I think I'll vote lib-dem in the next general election. Not that it'll make too much difference because the constituency I vote in has been Conservative for as long as I can remember.

Just out of curiosity, when is the next general election?

Yeah sorry i didn't consider none, its there now tho' :)

I have voted but not saying for who.
T020 would be so suprised, not as predictable as he thinks.

You've got to laugh, there are people who have indicated that they would vote conservative. In Sheffield! roflmao

I don't vote in Sheffield. To be fair our local MP David Tredinnick does a very good job.

Conservative. Capitalism and rewarding success, whilst being tough on criminals, illegal asylum seekers etc.

They rewarded highly successful steelworks and coalfields by closing them down and putting 10s of thousands on the dole.

Sheffield Hallam has been a conservative seat from the creation of the constituency up until 1997 when the Lib Dems took it. The tories are still by far the 2nd biggest contender, and since Richard Allan is leaving politics at the next election, people might realise that voting Lib Dem is as much use as not voting at all, and will swing back to the Tories. Then once again Hallam will be true blue. I fail to see why you think its funny that people in Sheffield would vote Conservative?

For the moment my vote comes under the "Other" section.

What seems more ridiculous to me are the 4 votes to the Green Party!!!

I also fail to see why you think it would be funny for people in Sheffield to vote conservatives?


Under labour we have seen promise and promise broken, along with tax rise after tax rise. With a failing manufacturing industry, house prices continually rising, crime up. Does anyone actually trust tony blair?

Nope but I don't trust Michael Howard or Charles Kennedy either...

Not to mention the unions flexing their muscles and threatening strikes every 10 minutes.

I voted Labour in all four of the general elections in which I have been eligible to vote in. No more. I now detest this government almost as much as I detested the Tory government under Thatcher. :(

I share the view expressed by others here, in that I find it difficult to affiliate myself with any of the parties. I think a hung parliament is the best we can hope for and that people like me (lost in the political wilderness) should simply vote for the party most likely to win against labour. I will therefore cast my vote for the Lib Dem's, who I think will hold their Hallam seat.

Still no votes for the BNP. Come on guys and girls, where have you got to? Stand tall and proud, pin your colours to the mast.

Me? I voted green in this poll because :
-they are the only party committed to non-hierarchical power structures
-they are the only ones who are realistically considering climate change beyond the next general election
-because they champion local devolution and rule of the people, by the people, for the people.
-because, like the BNP weirdly enough, they champion hemp as the industrial crop of the future
-because they are the only party that will truly accept global responsibility for our actions, and act accordingly.
-because they embody the 'think global act local' ethic.

That they're second only to the Lib Dems (after a wholly representative poll of 20 self selected pollers) is a cause of some pinprick of hope.

Perhaps now is the time for the Queen to use one of her few remaining powers, which have not been transferred to Blair's other queens, and dissolve Parliament. :P

Ooh... tough one.

I'm officially resident in the Isle of Man at the moment and I'm only 18-and-a-half, so I don't know if I'm on the UK's electoral register, I'm probably just on the one for the Isle of Man.

In which case, I can't vote, so there's no point in putting one down. But which am I affiliated to? Again, I'm not certain...

We've hosted a Green party fund raising evening in the pub before. One of our favourite bands is led by the Green Party Candidate of Hillsborough. Good policies - probably will never lead the country but the winning party in the next election (and the current one) could do well to listen to the Greens and take on board their philosophy.

Interesting to see the greens and the lib dems neck and neck so far in this highly unrepresentative self selecting poll. And still no votes for the BNP....

No idea why people have voted 'con'-servative. Do people forget they absolutely ruined this and many other areas during their 18 year reign of neglect and discrimination against the working class.

As a Conservative constituent, I think they do a very good job. Though admittedly I do live in quite a well-off area.

Nice to see Labour are not winning that poll though.

Also, I take it people who voted for 'Green' in that poll are either not old enough to vote or don't bother voting in the elections?
