Default UK General Election- May 6th
Truly is a shocking choice isn't it? Damned if you do, damned if you don't...

I'm having a struggle getting a warm, fuzzy feeling from any of them. I don't forget what the Conservative Party are. I know what the Labour Party can be, damn do I know. And as for the Lib Dems...bleh...I should in theory vote for them but feel I live the anti Lib-Dem dream (single, live in a house, etc, etc).

Perhaps a hung parliament may be the best thing all round.

So which one of these Limey embarrassments will make the most effective puppet for President Obama?

Clearly Nick Griffin.

Laz, you blew it on the third line. The incumbents are *New* Labour - and have been for many years. The Labour Party is dead.

Get with the script, Drake. The Special Relationship is over.


You still need us far more than we need you. Brown or Cameron better get ready to pucker up.

The UK could easily handle a second Falkands war. Dagos are not capable of waging a modern war.

I did like the Guardian's April 1st Labour election poster-



It's far better than any of the official ones.

I get to vote to prevent JoJo, BoJo's brother, becoming an MP.

Jo Johnson lives in Camden with his wife, Milly Gentleman, a journalist for The Guardian and the daughter of artist and designer David Gentleman. They have two children, Rose and William.

Good to know my likely MP doesn't actually live anywhere near the constituency, and has learnt all he knows about the place (which is probably limited to its name) in the last six months.

Probably because you weren't using her full name.

Yep- that link is hilarious. Watch the shock on the faces of life-long socialists as they get directed to the Green party.

Also it's proof that no matter how much you might despise one party, they occasionally have well thought out policies that you agree with. Excepting the BNP.

I found though that a proportion of the Green party ones smacked too much of wishful thinking and didn't seem realistic or properly thought out, so of course you'd vote for those as they sounded the most appealing!

My prediction-

UKIP seats won = 0.

Anyone care to quibble?

When I tried the quiz - unsurprisingly I came out as a LibDem. Then some Green, then some Tory. Nothing of Labour however which is interesting...

It would be interesting to have Nick Griffin elected to Parliament. Just so he gets to look like a complete and utter f**king idiot in there and utterly out of place. He'll have no friends in there (unless Norman Tebbit is still kicking around in there?)

Economy UKIP
Education UKIP
Environment UKIP
Europe UKIP
Health / NHS Lib Dems
Immigration Labour
Welfare BNP

Interesting. 4/9 are UKIP. 3/9 are BNP and 1/9 LIB DEM and 1/9 is Labour.

0/9 for the Conservative party.

It's a good test. Better than political compass that's for sure.
