Voting quandry

Wrong there, Ana. I don't think I've ever suggested anyone vote for Ukippers or for the BNP, or EDL if they still exist.

Green Party, Labour Party and LibDems are all okay by me. Vote for the party to keep Conservatives out is my suggestion.
Who do you suggest people vote for?
Please give us your considered opinion.

I didn't say which parties you'd suggested people vote for durhamjen, as you know very well.

Is the Raving Loony Party still going? (Idle curiosity, not any sort of suggestion...)

Rubbish, Ana. Any but Conservative does say which parties I think people should vote for, as you well know.

ANY BUT CONSERVATIVE.

You are wrong.

Anyway, who do you suggest people vote for?

There chosen party perhaps!

Any but Conservative you said - so yes, could be UKIP. You didn't specify.

I'm not suggesting people vote for any party, other than the one they want to. Quite, norose4.

This is why the Conservatives do well. They have a big silent vote. If you ask a Lab. voter if he voted L. he will tell you. If you ask a Tory voter the same question, he will tell you to mind your own business. It is the nature of conservatism, I suppose.

GGM2 you say you have a long memory and never forget or forgive.......in other words you bear a grudge for a long time.I have no idea what you are saying or why, but am guessing that I once said something you didn't like.I wouldn't be proud of never forgetting or forgiving if I were you, not very Christian ( or pleasant).
However it certainly explains why you constantly 'go after' both me and certain other posters.
Life is short........too short to bear grudges over daft things.

Ohhps sorry spelling mistake. THEIR party of choice , sound better

It hardly matters what anyone is voting, as we all know who will win this time around.

Hopefully Labour will have a credible Leader in five years time.No party should really have more than three terms in office.

Daphnidill, Do you really believe other gransnetters would be put off voting for their party of choice because of reading articles posted on here. People will hopefully vote for the party they think is best suited to getting us out of the mess we are in at this present moment in time.

Hopefully and it will not be the Tories, as they have created this mess we are in now.

People will read what you write and be put off voting for Labour
I hardly think there are that many people who will be influenced by what a group of grannies post!

Oh, someone already said that
norose ditto!

Unless we are more influential than we think Jalima ( strongly doubt it though)

Labour - in it's present form -
to get us out of a mess. You mean the likes of Diane Abbot et al! Wake up and smell the coffee folks.

I think the days of doggedly voting for ones favoured party have gone, our country is going through a particularly difficult time , & I am sure we all want the best for all of us, but we really do need to think carefully about who is most capable of doing this.

Jalima ,you are so mistaken, my posts are going affect the UK posters and cost labour the election. They will be badly affected by my posts on that hat according to one . Bit confusing because I am swaying the country to vote Tory with my monotonous posts , not forgetting I need to shut up and grow up

Yeah - Gransnet is the go-to site for the movers and shakers in influencial circles. Mumsnet probably has more influence!

Gransnet political threads - required reading before entering the voting booth!

ps I was only saying ditto to the first sentence of norose's post as I doubt that the present Labour leader and his shadow cabinet could get us out of a paper bag.

-- ditto --

Oops, I did it again!

Wonder if May will put me forward for an OBE for services to the world of politics
