Christmas Tree 4843 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 I voted Green, mate. My seat is safe Labour so my little protest against what the Labour Party have become. Though I have been way more impressed with the way Miliband has conducted himself in this campaign than I thought I would be. And surprised at how negative and desperate the Tories have been. The Geens need to get a new leader if they ever want to gain the kind of momentum and coverage Farage managed with ukip. Bennet seems a nice woman but she's been entirely unimpressive, has zero charisma and is Australian. And the party needs electoral reform if they're ever going to progress into the mainstream. Good luck today! I don't get the green vote Absolute bonkers party. Legalise prostitution, legalise membership of terrorist groups etc. http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/2015/01/welcome-to-the-bonkers-world-of-the-green-party-manifesto/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10972 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Honestly, I say this with no hesitation, I probably talk more sense and am more politically balanced than everyone on here. That's not being smug, just likely. Holy shit that's amazing. I don't doubt there are plenty of blinkered people on here, but to try and suggest you're anything but a fucking echo for the party-line is the best joke anybody has ever told ever.

I don't agree with their entire manifesto, but if more people vote green and the Labour Party take notice and move more to the left then I will be happy. Hilarious comment on the previous page btw. You must have been giggling at the irony when you posted it. No one can be that deluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 31221 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I'll vote, it just doesn't seem as important in a safe seat. Almost feels like a small minority elsewhere has the say on the future of the north east. If anything it's more important in this election than previously as winning the popular vote will offer legitimacy to any minority government/lead coalition partner.

Dr Gloom 22181 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 When was the last successful far left labour government? What's that got to do with anything? i'm not asking for a far left party, only for Labour to stop trying too hard to win middle ground voters by following the tories on silly policy promises - like continued austerity.

Gemmill 46080 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 If the popular vote wasn't a potential factor in terms of a legitimacy argument this time around, I would probably have voted Green, safe in the knowledge that my seat will always go to Labour anyway. Not that I buy into any of Dave's or the Tory press bullshit about legitimacy which they've dreamt up in the past couple of days in a blind panic at potentially losing.

( don't worry if you don't know the answer Dave) [emoji6] Oh, is moving a very central Labour to the left the same as a Far Left Labour government? I was totally unaware that these two disparate things were, in fact, the same. I need to sit down and have a think about a thing or two.

Ah completely, their argument has no substance whatsoever. They're just trying to muddy the waters and bring "public opinion" (by which they mean media interests) into the argument. The public give their opinion on polling day. What happens beyond that has rules that Dave himself signed off on and which will hopefully facilitate a Labour government.
