    As opinion polls are all the rage I thought we sould have one on here :D

    I think we should forget any actual tactical voting and just poll who we would vote for in a national election.

    I’ve enabled re-voting so if change your mind you can change your vote.

    The poll closes on Thursday and it will be interesting to see if TRF reflects the mood of the nation.

    Socialist Alliance not included under Others…hmm

    You’ve nailed your colours to the TRF mast methinks Pompete :)

    Remiss of you to exclude the

    Fill Fatty Salmond With Haggis And Give Him A Good Kicking Party

    who are likely to hold the balance of power ‘south of the border’ come the 7th

    Time for a change, you know it makes sense

    lol using the phrase ‘New’ Labour still. Withered and dying would be more accurate.

    Is the option…can’t be bothered voting for any because they are all full of false promises and lies and all as bad as each other…. counted under ‘others’?

    Here’s a thought provoking piece from Peter Hitchens of the

    Daily Mail

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/election/article-1270363

    Before you turn away thinking, "Daily Mail", bound to be pro-Conservative, it isn’t: far from it.
    Cameron would be shaking his fist in rage at the paper if he’s read it.

    An exciting development from Tory HQ: David Cameron has sent some of you a personal message.

    Pompete, very good ! :mrgreen:

    If only he could. I’d die one very happy man. :lol:

    Though I think Mr Cameron is more pre-occupied with getting free school dinners for all public school boarders. :roll: Ya, top ho ! :P

    If the flatcap fits wear it :?: :)

    The one I show off here on TRF is much too loose, and threadbare from years of ponderous scratching, as it belongs to a voluminous-bonced gambling gambolling gentleman who kindly lent it to me for the duration of his trip via a black hole to a higher dimension in the hope that when he returns I’ll be able to decipher his poetic though apparently random concatenation of words

    Thanks Dave, much appreciated, though I would have preferred free Harris Tweed jackets and pink corduroy underpants

    Although Cameron is an insincere toff, I will be voting Tory because I really want a hung parliament and electoral reform.

    On the other hand Brown is responsible for getting us into this awful mess with our finances .. Uk first into recession and last out of it? Isn’t it him and previous Tory governments who had de-regulated the banks, in the interests of free trade, market forces and all that bunkum?

    If it wasn’t for Cleggs silly policies on the Euro and I’d vote Liberal.

    Truth is I don’t want anyone to win, cos they’re all gangstas and crooks.

    This poll has actually made me decide to vote Labour again instead of Liberal. Seeing how close the voting was I’ve decided that my protest vote would only help ‘Dave, I’m just an ordinary guy’ get in. As most of my family work in education, the railways and the health service I realised I was shooting myself in the foot.

    Pompete – I find that link disconcerting to say the least. :shock:

    I voted Conservative at 7.30am this morning. Am taking the rest of the afternoon off work to get out the vote in Ealing Central & Acton constituency – good times!

    Sorry Mes, I’ve removed it. It was a bit much :P

    Well the big question is, will the nation follow the TRF mood for a Labour/Lib Dibs coalition?

    If so, who’d have thought John Major may be the last ever Tory PM if we get PR :mrgreen:

    Yep, PR Pompete

    Rhinos, Winos and Lunatics allowed a voice in the ‘mother of all parliaments’ – bring it on…and remember, today and tonight wasn’t what ‘they’ wanted, it was what ‘we’ insisted upon: keep ’em in or kick ’em out – democracy

    Envious eyes elsewhere

    Enjoy the night all
