Today we have the most interesting General Election for decades in the UK.

Is anyone interested ?

Not a word about it here on the board although it will affect all of you.........Yes it will.

I suppose it will be liberals and something as I don't think Cameron will get a clear majority. Lets hope it will be someone who can get us out of the mess we're in. But I'm not holding my breath !

I agree whole heartedly Maggie Thatcher was good for the UK it needs someone like her again and I don't see any of the candidates this time matching up to her!

Truth is thats why people are EXPATS, they have left the UK and are oblivious to what really happens there.

I love talking politics but on here it would be pointless as there are too many people self opiniated and NOT capable of a mature debate!!.

Also as long as their pension increases, pound strengthens - why should anybody really care about Election Day!

What happens in UK is not going to increase their house value or get their Deeds through!

davedee I do so hope your prediction is true, another term for this ghastly labour lot doesn't bare thinking about. Nobody could do any worse that is for sure.

As Nationalist I want SNP to do better than last time improve on our 6 seats.

Agree that its going to be a hung parliament or maybe the Tories might squeak in.

Well done to the LIB DEMS for making it an interesting 3 Horse race instead of the backpatting drivel served up by a 2 Main Party Election.

Who will be better well Im sorry but the Government has had 13 years and all its done is sell more than our Gold Reserves off!!As well as Pension Assets! Shame and he is a Scot! But I agree he and Blair have been the worse Pms this country has ever had- one unelected and the other a lying weasel!!

In power too long, too pompous,taking things for granted, and yes I think a change is due before GB becomes a total Nanny State!!

I would love labour to win an outright majority at worst a lab/Lib pact.

Labour have only one thing in my opinion hindering them and unfortunatley thats Gordon. A lot of people dont like him (a) because he was never elected and (b) he is Scottish. He is not a very good speaker and some of the blunders that came out during the election I would lay at the feet of his aides

Cameron if elected will never come North of the Watford gap again, there is a North/South divide and i think the Northern half of the UK will suffer more than the South as it did during the last conservative Government.

Which ever party gets in there is going to be some hard pills to swallow by the ordinary citizens of the UK . I hope if anything good is to come out of the hard times lets hope the Government elected puts UK citizens first and who ever gets in puts the Great back into Britain.

just voted labour ,voted labour last time and before when Blair came in before that I was always conservative

I feel while UK is in a mess and in the middle of sorting out the crisis,let the labour finish the job

Just like with Bush and Blair both re elected as unpopular as they were because of the war, the people decided that while in the situation it was best to re elect them

Like now I re elected labour while UK is in a mess (not his fault) as far as I know, I would have voted for Conservatives but felt Camaron did not answer to specific questions asked by Brown

mind you if Margaret was leader I would have voted her I hope I did not dis -please anyone

Yes you are right Basheer,i think in the unlikely event of labour getting in they will 'finish the job'even deeper pooh. . Pleased none of this is his(Browns) fault.



Just my view.

Conservatives will romp home i please to say and i believe David Cameron has all the right credentials to be a good leader, and he also comes from Oxfordshire.

We have been utterly determined to cast our vote. Had arranged a proxy vote which has been carrried out - 'tho not without difficulties. We moved here because of the politics in our own country!! Wouldn't miss my vote for anything....

The new tenant at number 10 will not have such a great name as Nigeria's new president.



Goodluck Jonathan.



I guess he and number10's new tenant will need some.

Lot of people in my area are voting SNP and Labour will get a good share too. The Tory candidate

was sacked by Cameron for not being politically correct on his website, but you can still vote for him!

He is getting some sympathy votes as what he did say many folk of all parties agree with!

rowlo - my old arch nemesis - where have you been all this time? Was only thinking about you the other day. Must say, I certainly agree with you, if only in part
