I've always voted Lib Dem (since I was eligible to vote), and will do again. They're the only party of the "big three" I agree with.
What mildly irritates me is that some voters tend to say "I'd vote for the Lib Dems if I thought they could win the election". Well, go and vote for them, and they might actually win! Oh, and put down that copy of The Sun, the newspaper that launched a supposedly independent "Rock The Vote" campaign to encourage people to vote for any party as long as they get out and vote, and then declared their support for Labour a few days afterwards. Trustworthy as always is The Sun...

Lib Dem > All
You're not the only one. "Use your vote the way we tell you to!". Hardly endearing me to The Sun
BTW, long time no see mate, how you doing?

I wont vote. I've taken both those little tests and they put me in opposite parts of the chart.
I don't think you can have a general rule to cover every situation that comes up so it would be pointless for me to vote for a party that has a strong stance on any given situation. Oh and just for fun the Times put me as a conservative (like right on top of the conservative dot) and the political compass places me next to ghandi. Quite different?
I vote for whoever can put handjobs on the NHS. Put that as your political stance and I will vote.

Pssshhh, why shouldn't the Sun tell its readers how to vote? All the other papers do. Sun readers and 'New' Labour seem like a match made in Heaven to me.
*edit*
Looking at the poll results, it seems like the answer to my question "Who on earth would vote Labour?" is "No-one intelligent enough to use a computer, except Phoenix".

Fair point, but the other papers haven't launched campaigns telling people to vote no matter who it's for.Sam_The_Man said:

BNP = Bastard Nazi Party.

Actually the BNP don't seem to have a problem with blacks (they've got a few members who are) - reason being that a large proportion of african/caribbean origin people in the UK are at least 2nd/3rd generation and have been living/working in this country since their grandparents/great-grandparents have moved here.
It's asian/arabic/eastern european is where the current irrational hatred is aimed at.

I saw Tony Blair on the program with Johnathan Dimbleby earlier...his showing trounced the other two leader's appearences, one thing you can certainly say about him is he is a very skilled debater.
Some more imaginative campaign pledges from alternative parties (from today's Telegraph)

Well, I'm glad I didn't vote Conservative this time. They came on before Hitchhiker's to ask me if I "really wanted five more years of him" [Blair]. To which the answer is, no, but it wouldn't be a complete disaster. Negative campaigning is a little bit difficult when the only thing you can find to complain about is the darkie problem.
Everything has become Negative. Politics, News, reviews, 2k4 scene.
But most fantastically the tories. If they're strongest political objective is to get people to say 'Nah, i don't like him' then why don't they have Rory Bremner as their top man?
It's crap like that that makes politics a fecking joke, it's an antiquated system that needs to be replaced by a system that's not pathetic, with people that are there to do the job and lead the country well (without any set agenda to help certain tax brackets, blow public money for the hell of it and waste resources) - for economy, health and environment [in no particular order] and get a way around the abject apathy people feel over the current system that's simply entrenched in an archaic classbased society.
If the rules for voting and demograph for voting's modernised, why hasn't the way we do it or what we vote for?
