I wouldn't put money on it...they already have local and EU MPs.....personally I wouldn't risk it.

I agree in a fashion..but the BNP will NEVER get in...we are much too educated to let that happen

OK, so you get the bigots and the uneducated....but BNP are not an option, nor likely

Democracy is a swine when you disagree with the outcome..........I had to swallow it for 13 yrs......lol.x

**edit*** having said that...I'd rather follow the wishes of the party that gain the most seats than open the door to fringe parties like the BNP...think I'm wrong??...think again !!!

I'd also rather accept a government I'm opposed to than a compromise...and AV means compromise forever more.....no thanks.

My MP is The Dept PM Nick Clegg......what an ####

I'll be voting YES....we have a libdem council here that has done nothing and it didn’t get a majority vote...in fact it got in by one!

Where is the democracy in that!

......so having said that...the prize is there for the *side* that feels strongly enough about it to go out and bother to vote imho. x

I follow politics so I'm not much fussed about the blurb as I already know which way I'll jump.

I don't sense there's a great appetite for this vote tbh from what I've heard locally and on some of the politics shows I watch...very few, in view of the entire population. bother to turn out for a general election so I can't see many bothering with this one x

Hi Ginny
I believe the launch of the Campaign starts today and leaflets are to be sent to everyone in due course.

Is it me or has there been very little coverage of this in the media?

Its a very important vote and I feel the the public have not been given enough information about this

Hmmmm I wonder why!
