	The game's out there, and it's play or get played. That simple.

kein gutes St�ck Schei�e Posts: 1,983 Group: Members Member #3 Joined: July 2008	I've had a couple of letters from the conservitives and in the corner is a clip art like graph with the 4 main ones, with an arrow pointing to lib dem and UKIP saying "You'll just waste your vote here", Which made me feel more interested in voting lib dem. They also struck me as being massive cock ends from every part of the letter.

We normally get ones from the BNP, which are normally hilarious and from the Greens, who have been doing sterling work round these parts to oppose an incinerator that's been planned, which would be built a few miles away from where I am. Funnily enough, the incinerator plan has been pushed prominently by a Conservative chap who just so happens to live no where near the proposed site. Bastard.

If I was forced to choose a 2nd party that I would vote for, it would be the Greens. They do some good work and almost never get any credit for it.

The Guru of Blandness Posts: 1,056 Group: Members Member #22 Joined: July 2008	Aye, the Greens are probably the most active, 'front line' decent party out there. I'd never vote for them in a General Election, I can't abide by that Greenpeace/organic vegetable anti-science bullshit, but I have and will continue to vote for them in the local elections. I'm really torn on who to vote for this coming election. I want to vote LibDem, but I know they've got no chance. I'm rather tempted to vote Labour, they might have got a lot of things wrong, but their stance on the economy does seem to be working and I admire they're stance on sex-education for Primary School kids, there's also a much stronger chance of them unseating the Tories here, even though that's never going to happen.

I'm really worried that the LibDems aren't getting their message out at all. They usually have a set of policies that are generally in line with public opinion, and give that this election could well end in a hung parliament, they're in a great position this time round. But so far all the media coverage is of the two main parties. But they're not reaching out to voters like yourself. You say "they've got no chance" but of course if everyone who felt like voting for them actually did they'd have a much larger stake in running the country. The two main parties rely on people assuming the Lib Dems have got no chance. I'm wondering where the hell Nick Clegg is these days - he's like the invisible man.
