happyhippy   11 #401 Posted May 7, 2010 Not at all, you should vote for the party who's policies you agree with the most, it doesn't matter if they have a chance of winning. It's not like the Grand National where you have to try to back the winner.  Spot on. For the first time I had a chance to vote for a marginal party, and did so, even though I knew the member never had a chance. I didn't realise until late on that I could.  I would have voted 'slightly' positively otherwise, but there was a candidate for my area of my political preference.

Nick, did well in the debates, had the media backing so to speak & the conclusion was he was he had gained new support. I am just baffled by the lack of votes they have had so far.

I am just baffled by the lack of votes they have had so far.  They have got a lot of votes Just over 3 million, Labour currently has 3.7 million votes and the conservatives have 4.8 million. They just haven't managed to win parliamentary seats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
