It's voting day. I'm off to do some voting.

And if you're still undecided, remember who it was that 'squatted' the Squats, invented comp and raised the price of tin? Yes, it was Cameron...true story...

Nick Clegg, on the other hand, pushed for the redesign of the DA codex for YEARS. I'm glad we've finally woken up and listened to him. It's probably something to do with TV debates.

Right, I'm off to put my rights into action....

Nick Clegg is a bit like JJ.

He talks a good talk but in the end we'll end up with a convoluted mess with the comment 'its just a game, deal with it'.

I will be voting after work.

And I would love for politicians (and certain of their followers) to stop just badmouthing each other and actually attempt to put forward positive ideas and behaviour.

I voted this morning

Whilst there doesn't seem to be anyone out there who I agree with totaly, I went for te party who were closest. So heres to another 4 years for our Cyclopean overlord!

You screaming liberals make me want to vomit, i vote conservative because i am made of pure win. Nick Clegg wears a warpstone talisman and wont be happy until we replace the British army with a Peace and love unit of goat stroking sweet smelling woofters that criss cross the world handing out pamphlets that advocate wheat free cakes and fair trade sweaters. I thought i hated that foul two faced scottish cyclops, but id rather keep labour than give the screaming liberals a voice. I wish i could threaten to leave the country if the lefties won, but i cant, because unlike us, other countries actually have laws regarding immigration! :-)

Has mattyrm had too much caffeine this morning?

Thats good calling the libs woofters, then voting conservative, http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2010/03/28/would-be-tory-mp-and-the-rent-boy-115875-22143704/

Read and laugh

You can be gay and still be manly though

Go for Gordon!

Blues and Reds have both pissed on this nation in my lifetime.

I'm going to try Yellows.

But yellow is even closer to the colour of actual wee - sure you want to take that risk?

Voted via mail last week, but will be watching with interest. I voted for the blues, but tbh I don't like any of them, just want Cameron to do two of his manifesto promises and hope he doesn't wreck the country in the mean time.

Although I can't see any of them being much better than the others no matter who wins.

I fear this is close to the truth.

Voted at 07:45 and dragged my heavily pregnant (and slightly grumpy) wife with me.

Live in a pretty strong Tory seat, so voted Lib Dem to cut his majority and keep him on his toes. The missus voted Tory thereby cancelling out my vote.

loki is more red than red ken. I can only presume his mother and father beat him with the labour stick since he could crawl, or he worked in a mine. The intellectually vacuous idea that you cant vote conservative because he is posh is utterly ridiculous, not just because it is childish but because they all are. And Nick Clegg went to a more expensive school than Cameron.

Oh dear. There's me following the election on facebook, where everyone is lib/lab, and confident in the knowledge that nobody was ACTUALLY fooled by David Cameron's smug-Tony-Blair-smarmy-lying debate speeches.

But it is as I feared. In the real world, people are going to vote tory...:/

I'm so gonna have to change job. No more arts funding in a Tory govt, so no more theatre/entertainment work. And once all the money is taken out of the economy, the corportate clients won't want to hire me either!!!

Srill, with the massive resultant recession at least people will spend even more on 'relatively cheap' hobbies. Maybe it's time to start that game shop. And hey, if I get married, I'll immediately be a better class of citizen (in the eyes of our Tory overlord) and they'll give me some cash for stock...

I wouldn't presume that.

In fact, you probably shouldn't either.

And you definitely shouldn't post it either.

Limit your statements to the topic at hand, rather than the individual who posted them.

You know, as per the rules of this forum?

I think you've missed the point matty - wheat free cakes are STILL tasty tasty cakes. Bring on the cake army!

Loki and i have a long history of political jousting, but its nothing to get flustered about, indeed im well aware how many "reds" are on this website..

I didnt have you on my list though Ian, we can discuss the merits of the Conservative party in Bugmans Bar in August. Ill have you fox hunting by December!

(Note i dont actually fox hunt)

I thought that was the RAF's new recruitment slogan...

What about the RAF regiment?

They are ..you know.. good at... er..

.... guarding Kandahar Air Field in almost total safety while the proper soldiers actually go and fight.

They arent so bad.

Careful now, apparently the rock apes are special forces according to.... oh according to the RAF regiment, oh well never mind I am sure that Clegg can count upon their support

Aye they used to make me laugh, whenever i met one they would say "oh we are part of THE BIG THREE" (Marines, Paras, Raf regt)

The word big three is childish, but they say it.

Personally id say there is a big two, and then a handful of other great infantry regiments who have seen alot of action out there. But lets be honest, anybody who actually knows how they work knows the crack, and that is that i would rather fight alongside any other light or mechanised infantry regiment than the RAF reg.

Nothing personal against the lads, but their job entails securing the RAFs interests, and they just dont get there hands dirty enough.

The ldea that there are some kind of "elite" fighting unit is truly laughable. I wonder if they have actually suffered a gunshot wound in the last ten years? They have lost the occasional guys to IEDs or Rocket attacks in or around the large static locations they tend to guard, but id be surprised..

Im off to check the casualty stats on the BBC website, my mockery has actually piqued my interest.

Vote for this guy! You know you want to.

1) I'm not flustered.

2) Just how many 'reds' do you think are on this website?

We'll find out - all it takes is a few good men

OOPS wrong, so I'll break it down.

loki is more red than red ken - well wide of the mark, can't stand the guy or his politics.

I can only presume his mother and father beat him with the labour stick since he could crawl - My father is right of the conservatives.

or he worked in a mine - only for a short time and I left long before the miners strike. So partly right

Never voted for blair, because he was two faced.

If you had know she was going to do that you could have shoved her in a ditch before getting to the polling station.

You did m8, and if I'm up your way. I'll park the merc outside your place, grab some nukie brown out of the fridge in the back.
And you can tell me where I'm going wrong.
