  • Nick and I are in agreement.

  • I like now Nick Clegg is down to earth and real. He's not not sitting in his garden, or what ever, looking like a smug arse trying to win a popularity contest, which is definitely what this election has turned into and I think it's definitely wrong. This is not the 'x-factor'.

  • yeah pft like u even cout the fucking votes hahahahahaha rofl

  • What sets my alarms bells ringing is when you vote for a party because they PROMISE they will not raise student fees.... and then when they get in power, oh guess what you go against your word.

    I agree the voting system needs work.... but has it occurred to you that less people voted because we know you do nothing that you say you will do during your term?

  • PR is less democratic. Isn't democracy about "power to the people". Or is our power simply limited to 1 vote every 5 years, some power that is. FPTP puts a physical person in parliament who will represent you and raise your issues.

    I say have 1 seat for each constituency, and also alot seats for parties (elected by proportional representation. Let the parie reps bicker and make laws and then let the MPs bring in our views and vice versa. Or somthing like that.

  • I voted for change, not to let CONservatives block it.

  • =P hurray for Liberal Democrats!

  • @slovenedisco Quick question - How are the Lib Dems in favour of PR as much as the next party?

  • @slovenedisco I was not referring to our country, more indirect democracy as a whole. If it was up to me I would introduce politics into schools getting the majority of the next generations interested. hopefully increasing the voter turnout and making people understand the consequences of their vote.

    When politics is a subject people are familiar with as much as football maybe we can have a direct political system, But I guess who is their to blame when things go wrong......

  • @slovenedisco when people quote the conservatives and Labour as old parties- they might be referring to their MP's average age. (there all from the baby boom era?)

    I don't know I'm just throwing it out there.

  • @Doncontra it's like your trying to preach without reading the bible (Not that The liberal democrats Manifesto is comparable to the bible)

  • Good luck Nick.

    I'm not necessarily voting for you, but anything is better than having Labour or The Tories.

    David Cameron has openly said he would support war with Iran.

    Please don't vote for Labour or the Conservatives.

    If you do, you are throwing your vote away on a bunch of corrupt psychopaths.

    NO WAR WITH IRAN... Peace on Earth.
