There is a pub in Camden called The World's End. It looked like just a normal pub on the outside and when you step inside, it first seems like a normal one. But when you walk around the bar and go to the other side of the pub, you realise how massive it is. There is a walk way with various seats a places you can sit down with many other little seating areas. In then leads all the way to another room with a bar with other seating areas upstairs. It was fucking huge.

Polling day tomorrow. Anyone fancy discussing who they'll be voting for? At this point it seems like the discussion would revolve around who we'd consider to be the lesser of all evils because there genuinely doesn't seem to be a party/leader I wholeheartedly want to vote for. At the end of the day though the majority will either be Blue or Red and I'd rather see Labour in control rather than the Tories so I think I'll be voting for Mr Bacon Sandwich himself, anyone but Cameron and his party full of posh boys (not that Milliband isn't either).

I'll most likely be voting Green, not that there's any bloody point. My constituency is a Labour stronghold and I'm not expecting any other result. I don't really have a problem with Labour, but I do wish they weren't Diet Tory these days. Our local MP is quite good though, so I won't lose any sleep when they reclaim the seat.

Pretty much in the same position. I've been toying with the idea of voting for the Green Party, but that would be like throwing a vote away. It's gonna come down with Labour and the Tories (and whoever decides to throw their lot in with them to swing the vote) and Labour is the lesser of two evils. I mean if the Tories get elected once again, we're gonna wind up with a privatised NHS and then we're all fucked.

Labour.

Anyone but Tories/UKIP. Lib Dems, possibly, but they've taken a hit being in government. Hoping tactical voting plays its part to ensure Cameron fucks out of Number 10.

A privatised NHS would make me flip my shit and actually begin doing some sort of activism. I'm not having our healthcare system go to shit and become something like America's.

I saw Locke say in the other thread his family spent 80 grand in hospital fees for childbirth. Fucking crazy. We don't know how grateful we are to have our NHS, and if the Tories fuck with it I'll go mental.

Don't see much point in voting for any of the Goldilocks parties, like I said a page or so ago, I'll be voting SNP.

Exactly. The state this country is in economically, people just wouldn't be able to afford any form of healthcare. And as someone who has had his fair share of health problems over the years, that's just unconscionable.

It's like they didn't learn anything from Thatcher's myriad of mistakes.

It's pretty likely they just don't give a fuck. It's a lot easier to happily cut things like this that you'd never have to rely on.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I don't know much about British politics, but if I wanted a safer Britain I'd probably go with the party with the smallest hard on for immigration...

You import 3rd world people, you import 3rd world problems. Educate me tho.

You have a large Muslim population, right? Do they come from impoverished areas? Maybe not third world, but you get me I think lol.

Just seems as if there's a lot of tension in Britian, racially. Also seem to be a lot of gangs there who are Arabs or w/e the right terms is.

Please don't infest this thread with this shit.

Whatever. I get you don't like me but don't throw me out before I even start anything.

You've already said so yourself that you know nothing about British politics yet are encouraging people not to vote Labour (!) and you're calling immigrants third world citizens, when a vast majority of them aren't.

You know nothing about any of this. Don't bring your shit here.

At this point, I'd say a large number of our Muslim population are 2nd or even 3rd generation and were born in Britain. The large majority of our immigrants these days are Eastern European, Polish and Romanian. In my area specifically, most of the immigrants are Spanish.

I do like you, but in your first two posts you've showed a severe lack of understanding of UK politics and indicated that the majority of immigrants are people from developing countries who are going to join gangs. Do you see the issue?

I reckon a Labour/SNP coalition is pretty likely tbh, I know both parties have spoken out against it but I seem to recall Nick Clegg saying the same thing at the last election. I actually think you Scots have it nice being able to vote for the SNP as you've at least got a party you can feel 100% happy voting for.

"Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil." - I don't know who it was that said that but it's the most poignant quote I can find ahead of tomorrow's polls.

The problem is that Milliband wants SNP to put him in Downing Street without actually offering anything in return. People around here are fucking sick of Labour and it looks like they're just going to take our votes anyway because the Tories are marginally bigger cunts.
