im still somewhat undecided.

at the moment, im thinking im gonna vote Green as they are closest to my views, but hope that the Lib Dems do well as they are a step in the right (or left ) direction.

I always have been a Tory Sympathiser but i hate what David Cameron has done to the party, he moved it too much to the left. And he still is unable to articulate what the Conservatives stand for at the moment. All he does is rabble about "change" and hung parlament. He needs to grow some balls and start talking policies.

If this continues im going to switch to Lib Dems.

Oh and Labour well im still suprised so many people are considering voting for a party that has put UK into a mess, and now tries to centralise and buy its way out of recession using public spending. Which is not working since Unemployment is constantly going up.

Not quite true, rastari.

It wasn't capitalism that caused the mess - it was stupidity. When you have countries that owe a lot of public debt in the biggest of troubles, you know it wasn't capitalism.

I digress, its nice to see healthy debate among everyone in the UK. Seeing SamuelRSmith argue that NHS needs to be scrapped in favor of HSAs and emergency insurance makes me giddy.

Oh, as for why people are wondering why people would fall in love with Clegg and the LibDems, despite their priorities being in totally different directions - I would look to none other than our American equivilent, Barak Obama. He proved that if you can look nice, and polish a turd (in terms of policy and experience), you can win the people over, especially when you have a very unpopular leader in power. You know, that whole 'change you can believe in' speel - even if whats contained wherewithin is pure crap.

I make no secret of my views, I think that we should have co-allition governments and Proportional Representation, my views are also left wing economically and socially.

And I'm one of the furthest "RIGHT" members on this site.......according to that political ideology thing anyway.

Kantor posted in a previous thread. Lib Dems are a lot further left I would say than Conservatives. If you want to go to a similar party to Conservatives I would advise UKIP.

just saw this:

True i do know that on some issues they tend to be very left wing.

Yet for me economy matters the most, and they are pretty liberal (and Liberal i mean Old School Right Wing Liberal). They want to slash Public Spending. Lower Taxation for middle income earners. First 10 grand tax free for younger people. They also want to break up the banks so they can start supporting businesses again. As long as they are against big government i can support them.

Everything else for me is secondary, but:

I wouldnt mind further integration with the EU, because it is an only alternative that UK has. Pulling out of Europe would be an economical suicide. They also have an interesting plans for illegal immigrants, tighten control combined with amnesty (make them pay taxes). Because i doubt other parties can actually find them and deport them.

Also i would trust more Vince Cable as a chancellor than that failure of a chancellor Darling or Osbourne (who is a bit of a douche)

Ps. As for UKIP i think those guys are just loons without realistic policy, they offer withdrawal from the EU but nothing in exchange.

In what sense? Sweden and Switzerland, two of the richest/ best quality levels of living on the earth haven't commited "suicide." They have avoided the EU and the fruits of success are coming their way. The EU costs Britain 45 Million £ (Not Euros) per day! I still am trying to calculate where money of this magnitude comes in.

Also I would like to question your opinion on illegal immigrants in this country. Why is it that people who go in the back of lorries and avoid the law of this country should be allowed to remain here? There are thousands maybe millions of possible migrants who are refused access to this fine nation and yet they don't think they need to break the law and force an entry.
