charliecharlie Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Oh Quids... (better known as our dear election Agony Aunt) I need your help, I appear to be wavering, like a reed blowing ing the wind... http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2114/2196747355_cc4a983434.jpgI promised I would not vote for Labour after the Iraq fiasco, but want to use my vote to prevent the Tories winning... I am in a safe seat (Harriet Harman) and I am not keen to vote for her, however am worried that if I vote Liberal I may in some way be helping the Conservatives to get in (by undermining a safe seat).... I keep trying to make my choice and as the time gets closer I just get more uncertain and am in danger of becoming like a rabbit in the headlights.... http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2122/2174810681_04140e2761.jpg Even thought of desperate measure such as spoiling my ballot paper Any advice welcomed, Thanks in advance for your help... Yours gratefully, CharlieCharlie Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11176-quick-i-need-your-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
???? Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Harriet will win, vote LD, no danger of the Tories winning in Camberwell & Peckham and the greater the share of the national vote the LDs get the stronger the message that we're fed up of the same....... and remember the LDs DID oppose Iraq uniquely of the big 3 parties Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11176-quick-i-need-your-help/#findComment-321200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
karter Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 ????, as you are on, which party helped prevent CPZ, helped prevent the bus lanes in both directions and helped keep the preservation and uniqueness of ED business as it stands?

Ladymuck Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Charliecharlie, I hope you don't mind my using your advisor's services too.???? - I'm still not sure either. I truly wish to vote Green Party, but everyone I have spoken to has told me that voting as such would effectively be a wasted vote. Following advice/assistance from Keef/Loz on another thread, I thought I should vote Green at the Locals and vote either Yellow or Red at the Nationals. So, until recently I was leaning towards Yellow. Bear in mind that I do not wish to Blues to get in (the thought scares me to bits). However, my friend Bookworm believes I should vote for what I truly believe in - i.e. Green. So now I am back to the beginning. What to do ???? (or anyone else). If I voted Green, would it really be a waste? What are the chances of the Blues getting in in ED? (Sorry but I don't fully understand the voting system).Time is running out.So to summarise:My allegiance is with GreenUnder no circumstances do I wish for the Blues to succeed.I don't particularly wish to vote either Yellow or Red, but I would - reluctantly - be prepared to do so in the interests of the greater good (i.e. keeping the Blues out).I need sound arguments to help me decide.Thanks in advance.

???? Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I dunno Lady M. It's not as clear cut in D&N I believe that the LDs are the biggest threat to Labour but I've heard arguments to the contrary. Why don't you go with your conscience and vote Green?

brum Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Stick to what you believe in and vote green LM. Otherwise it's just tactical voting, which is so.... 'common'.
