Milliband would be just plain awful but from what I see the Conservatives aren't all that much better. Similar to what you see in the US - they are all part of a corrupt system that corrupts everyone who gets into power, almost completely beholden to the lobbyists. I don't think any of these parties have a long-term view, and only seek to placate those on the government dole and all their special interest groups.
Right now the Tories seem to be trying to trump Labour's plans to spend spend spend and cater to the masses by promising all these goodies like housing & jobs (did I get that right? Doesn't seem all that "conservative" economically to me more like they are trying to trump Labour on some of these issues).
I saw that the Greens promised to raise taxes to like 60% if they ever get in power!
To be honest these elections have turned into comedy in the west these days and are almost like high school popularity contests for the most part.

UKIP release their manifesto and get asked by journalists "Would you let people with AIDS move here?" and "Why is there only 1 black face in your manifesto?" before the crowd just groans and a few black and asian UKIP supporters get up and show their face at the journalist. Thats at 4.20 mins into the video.
Now the news story is how 'UKIP activists' shouted down a journalist for asking a question.
Now the poor journalist has now released a video, reading out some of the mean tweets he's recieved. Complete with sad piano music playing in the background.
His twitter handle is @christopherhope if you would like to send him your messages of support.

Fuck politics.
I am voting for the Green Party.
Everybody hears 'Green' and things about the environment.
Wrong.
They are called the Green Party because they wanna legalise the Mary Jane. Plus they will waive my tuition fees with the money they gonna make from taxing it.

Na fuck legalising weed, I'd have lost one of my side businesses then.
Voting green also means, no borders and no notion of britishness at all, and more tax.

I can't believe Bennett said she wants Britain in the image of how it was when she first arrived, around 20 years ago, what a load of bollocks.
Hopefully the conservatives get enough seats in the North, Midlands and London to not have to rely on the Lib Dems for a coalition, and instead form a coalition with UKIP and the DUP, who are both very conservative.

Conservatives won't win enough seats to form coalition with UKIP and DUP only as neither of these parties will take many seats. UKIP will do badly relative to the percentage of the population who vote for them, I can't see them taking more than a handful of seats. DUP obviously restricted to Northern Ireland.
Labour and SNP is looking much more likely with possible Lib Dem inclusion

The average voter is too thick to be a reliable source of data. They are too susceptible to tactics brought forward in the MSM. For some reason the Sky news channel keeps running hit pieces of the Tories and several news agencies went against the speech made by a former Prime Minister on the likeloihood of an SNP/Labour government.
Meanwhile no single main hit piece has been done on the SNP and Labours agenda. I believe the Torys are seen as the nasty party because a lot of journalists were dragged through the courts under their term because they were illegally tapping phones, emails etc.
This might be the bite back but I'm not sure. Smells like it though.

From my point of view it seems the media has gone all out to paint UKIP as the "nasty" party, despite the fact that in reality UKIP policies are a lot more fair and beneficial than Tory policies.
For example ; UKIP will abolish the bed room tax and are against the mansion tax.
UKIP will take everyone on minimum wage out of earnings taxation altogether.

I see Tony Blair decided to wade in and throw his weight behind not giving a referendum to the people on EU membership, saying that the public couldn't be trusted with such an important decision.
I was going to rally against his words but then I realized that they made sense - after all, he got elected 3 times.

Tony Blair was a warmonger. Fuck Tony Blair.
Vote Green. Legalise the marijuana and use the millions they'd make in tax to give me my free tuition.

lol that's the funniest interview I've ever heard, couldn't stop laughing when I heard that a couple months back. It completely exposed their stupidity and that they are all idealism.
The bit where she starts coughing to try and fake sickness to get out of it LOL.
Regardless of how unthought out their ideas are, would you trust an female, australian, socialist, feminist to run your country? I sure as hell wouldn't, even if it meant free marijuana and degrees for all.

Haha yeah don't worry I was only joking about voting Green. I guess it's difficult to construe tone through text.
They wouldn't be able to do anything about the fees anyway. The Lib Dems folded on it so there's little chance the Green Party is going to deliver.
I doubt I'll ever vote for a woman candidate, let alone that Aussie nutjob.
I will probably end up voting UKIP if I vote at all. But I don't really believe in the whole system I don't think it's true democracy. I know it's all we have but I feel quite apathetic towards the whole thing a lot of the time.
Anyone wanna convince me why I absolutely should vote for UKIP? I'm think a Tory/UKIP coalition beats the hell out of Labour or Labour/SNP.
