Can't say my choice is any clearer since being here. More confused then ever on who stands where.

There is no none option, should I choose other?

Have you looked at UKpopdems new post community vision?
What are the main things you would want a new govt to do or labour govt to do?

UKIP is THE ONLY party campaigning to leave the EUSSR so that is the one that I have to be in even though I do not necessarily agree with all policies it is the one with the thoughts closest to mine

I bet this poll is a bit of a shocker to all those people who think it is packed with anti UKIP people.

why didnt ihope vote?

I was thinking it was a shame that none of the "main" parties had anyone here. Then I thought about how many people I knew who were members of them in real life. None at work, none as friends of friends of friends. The only people I know who support the old parties, are from seeing them at political meetings, or elections.

Now what does that say?

Perhaps she isn't a member of any party. Which is why I didn't vote. The poll assumes that you must be a member of a party and gives no option for not being (being a member of "other" is not the same as not being a member of anything).

Not really! The best attack is from within, so for an enemy of UKIP the best way of attacking UKIP is to claim you're a member and then rubbish the party here on a public forum! It would only take a small band of like minded friends to achieve that! Still I'm not into conspiracy theories so I know it can't possibly be true!

I see the Greens are not on the list! Not that I'm a member. I used to be a member of the Conservative Party but just got, well not so much disillusioned, rather semi-detached!

I have seen good stuff in UKIP, English Democrats and UKPopDems. There is quite a lot in the first two that make me wonder! I'm still thinking about the third!

I find a lot of Conservatives OK, but then Cameron comes out with some floppy policy idea that makes me wonder. Sometimes I think Cameron is just like Blair.

My impression at PMQs is that Cameron loves to have Brown to knock about. with Blair it was two public school boys who both knew the "game". Brown is out on a loop so gets touchy and grumpy with Cameron's posh and lofty attacks.

Are you trying to say that some of the 20 people [currently] who ticked the UKIP box might be a bit, shall we say, dishonest?

That's a nice bit of respect to show to your fellow party members!

Addition: I see you're one of the 20. Are you trying to say something about yourself?
