For all my fellow Brits on here who are old enough to vote: Who will you be voting for tomorrow, and why?

I've still not decided between Labour and Lib Dem. So confusing!

I wont be voting for the Tories since they sold 90% of the country off, Labour inherited a *** up country so u cant blame em for not fixing it yet(if it can be fixed)

But idk if i`ll be voting for Labour either since they`re not too bright when it comes to immigration (close the *** borders already dumbass)

Whoever gets in I cant see a big change to be honest

They are the two worse economies in Europe at the moment.

Greece is well known, France's policies will make it so.

i refuse to vote for "the big 3". I mean yes a vote for any other party is technically a wasted vote - however if everyone stopped voting for these shitty parties that have been taking the piss out of the british public for god knows how long then maybe they will actually have to start delivering on promises if they expect to actually remain in power.

So me... i uno! anything that isnt labor, conservatives or liberal democrats.

Last I remember; Tony blair was Prime Minister and crumpets are still the bestest thing ever. I think Gordon Brown is running for Labor? Any fresh faces in the other 2 parties?

I'm not really an expert on the policies of the French, however when it comes to evaluating the power of the euro and forces that will make it worse, I doubt the french will be it's downfall. Thank you for the info though.

If Labour stay in power that will hold true. But I know Lib dem want to join the euro, which is one reason I probably won't be ticking their box.

I dunno, I feel like I've had a pretty pleasant time living under labour government all these years - the recession was a global thing and brown was one of the lead figures in making sure the whole world didn't collapse. Smaller parties sound good but when it comes to putting it into practical use I'm really scared about what would happen if one of them took control.

Honestly I don't know ><, I moved stateside while he was still in office... and it's hard to find up-to-date non-biased news these days that just tell you the facts without the opinion haha ; ; And I don't like sifting through 4 pages of crap to find the one sentence that could answer my question soooooo I just don't bother :P

No, there is a lot of reasons why it happened, but the main one was that there was an understanding between him and Gordon Brown, that Brown would take over the power eventually. I think Blair had already overstayed his welcome on that. He didn't get kicked out, he stepped down as PM/Party leader.

Lol, it was basically a coup, yeah. And it had little to do with Blair's policies.

The man has served almost three full terms. I wouldn't discredit the British people by saying he was an awful leader. ;p

You should be more worried in 2012 when the IFSB and US GAAP finally combine. There will be *** /slaping all over the world.

When GAAP becomes more "theory" and less "rules," then thats just going to open up to a lot of fraud in the US. When IFSB becomes more open because of what GAAP is bringing, thats going to show a lot more fraud in the international (specially Italy, Russia, China (if they even will follow it), Australia, Greece, and France) financial reporting standards.

Yes, I think we need to co-operate as a world, but damn, trying to make it happen all at once is just going to cause problems on both sides of the scale. US GAAP keeps fraud from happening (yes, it does, SOX really helped a lot) and IFSB keeps the paperwork looking the same. Those are their two strongest ideas, but their weaknesses will overcome the strengths when they combine.

Every leader has their flaws unfortunately. And the British political system is pretty complex (Lets not even get into the devolved powers between each country here lol). I think Blair was alright, he was charismatic if anything. But a lot of people didn't like the way he jumped in bed with Bush, it is true.

I agree that Tony Blair was a good leader in comparison to Brown. He did alot of good for the UK and the NI peace deal wouldn't be where it is without him.

Edit: No lol I'm not pro Hitler, I just agree with their immigration policies.

I prayed that Blair would be the first ever EU council president. Instead we now have that Belgian zombie.

To be honest, I think that every country should take care of their own people, and not have some international government dictate what some country should do.

And I think that every state in the US should do the same, and have only the Feds worry about keeping out military working, like they are supposed to do....

Haha glad we can be civil about this. I can't agree though. I am all for tighter immigration control (especially when it comes to unskilled people who are just coming to leech), but the BNP are a racist party. It has been documented so many times and they regularly slip up when trying to hide their true feelings. I don't think a world with only white people in it is good or fair.

Edit: I should rephrase - white ENGLISH people, cause that is essentially what they want.

Or productive.

White people do not have the greatest ideas in the world, but then again, no single race has all the answers.

Mixed community is best, as long as stereotypes don't exists, and those who cause the stereotypes now don't continue to do so.
