I vote Lib Dem. Their politics may not cover everything id like them too but they come the closest.
I'm sad to see that anyone here would choose to vote BNP. I've spent years campaigning against them (Like Lozzi my dad has worked with searchlight). At the last general election I handed back a BNP leaflet that had been posted through my door and got pushed to the floor and verbally abused by the campaigner! Hell of a way to run a political party I have to wonder if those people that vote for them actually have a real clue as to what these people represent and the means they use to achieve their bigoted, racist agenda!

I live in a strong Labour foothold and am generally happy with my local council. I certainly don't think the Conservatives would do a better job and there really is no other realistic contender at this point.
I agree it's sometimes hard to find redeeming qualities in our politicians and parties but am unsure what point not voting at all makes? More young people have voted for Big Brother than in elections over recent years and I find that very sad.
Women died to give us this opportunity and so many women worldwide still don't have the freedom to vote. Apathy does make us say 'what's the point' but how are we ever going to change things if we don't even try?
I agree! I always vote, if everyone who said "whats the point" DID ACTUALLY VOTE then maybe it would make a difference!
