The Official 2005 YakYak Election Poll

[Jimaroid]

I'll either draw a big cock on the ballot or vote Lib Dem. Depends what mood I'm in. Bring back Maggie, I say. At least she had an opinion.

[koworld]

100th vote! at the mo lib dems are 51% - we can only pray we get anything like that in the election.

I'm stunned by the pattern emerging. What does it say about internet group dynamics? Anything, too small a sample?

Whatever it is, it's very weird.

Good idea. You can't properly work up hate for any of these twisty-turny PC types currently in power. Bring back a cast-iron neo-facist dictator. That'll motivate the massses

Wasn't Howard the guy who came up with the poll tax? Good choice for leader that

[Ryan]

Something surprised me about the UKIP:

WAR ON TERROR/IRAQ

This is not devolved
More on this issue
UKIP: Greater UN involvement in Iraq; no immediate troop withdrawal; Anti-terror act and ID cards breach civil liberties, could lead to police state; deport dangerous terrorists.

They're the only party to really make sense on that issue..

I'm not very suprised by that. YakYak is a pretty left-leaning place isn't it? Oh and I'm certainly not praying for a Lib-Dem victory...if they get in, I'm out of here.
But they won't, so fuck it.

[Ryan]

Lib dems being in is bad, but if they were the main opposition.. it'd be good.

I can't help but feel that a hung parliament is the best thing that could happen to British politics because it would make everything more consensus based, and allow the UK to move away from the outdated 2 party system - which is not very representative of a true democracy.

Its not really meant to be two party, its just become a tradition of sorts. Tradition is a hard thing to shift from people's minds, especially when people remind each other of it all the while, reinforcing the "rightness" of the idea. Id still rather have a big game of paitball to decide our new leaders. They would have to display guts, cunning and leadership qualities to win.

I love the title of the new Tory manifesto:

"Are you thinking what we're thinking?"

I'm going to release a rival one:

"No, you hang up first."

or

"Funny, I was just going to say that."

Twats, the fucking lot of them.

I sure am Brain! But where are we going to find that many Rhino masks at this time of night? Narf!

Oh, That manifesto has supplied me with the biggest gut laugh I've had today, even more so when I read the actual text.

This is it in a nutshell (But please read it yourself, its a Hooooot).

BIG PICTURE OF MICHAEL HOWARD (Smiling and looking all benevolent)

"You want things, right? Good things? Money and stuff. And you don't want to die? Cool! We can do all that! Pop tarts, Spandau Ballet, whatever you like! Vote for us!"

ok, so theres more to it than that. But not much more than that

There's more to life than books, you know,
