Same her. Since NCP, Socialists and Liberals fall out, only Labour is left. So I guess I vote for the lesser evil...
Labour
Too long, comrades, too long, I say! We shall no longer be bound by our cruel tyrants; we shall no longer see our republic torn apart by power-hungry autocrats. This shall be a glorious day, where every labourer shall be free from slavery, and where every person, no matter their sex, can live their life as they choose!
Socialists!
Socialists!
Since the NCP is now almost totally facist, that leaves me no choice but to vote Liberal! again.
Give us back a real conservative party before the entire country breaks down!

We have a choice between militant communists, militant reactionaries/fascists, communist militant appeasers and the Liberals.
Pardonne-moi? Where, exactly, do you find anything militant about the Socialist policy? If anything, our strong aversion to warring imperialism should make us pacifist, not militant. Sure, people are threatening revolt, but on the other hand, what is one to do when given the message that, should a certain party be elected, one will face virtual eradication?
LABOUR
Liberal tax policy is as unacceptable as NCP's proposed tyranny. Labour has turned left and is electable again, as it supports workers councils on the local level. I'm fine with keeping parliament and not transforming the federal government.

Though the rhetoric of some Socialist supporters continues to worry (and sometimes disgust) me, I believe that I shall vote Labour. Hopefully enough Labour votes will come to moderate out the radical (and hypocritical) Socialists, since I predict a Labour-Socialist coalition will win this election. I guess we'll see.
Also, mildly interesting that the new Labour party is still secularized, despite the obviously religious undertones of the party

I'm going to laugh so hard if the Socialists manage to get into power and they have a Socialist revolution to deal with
Socialist Manifesto said:
#1. Parliament to be removed and replaced with a Grand Council, answerable only to worker's committee's. This will disenfranchise a signficant number of the population. Freedom? Pshah...
#2. Land reform. Land is to be stolen from its current owners and redistributed to workers. This is an act of violence.
#3. Inheritance to be abolished. Theft by the state. Another act of violence.
#4. Property owned by emigres and rebels, to be seized. Who, pray tell, are the rebels? Honest, hardworking Britons, whose only 'crime' is to have more than 'the state' thinks they 'deserve.' Tyrrany, fellow Britons, Tyrrany.
#5. Nationalization of industry, banking, transportation, and communications. This isn't the founding of a 'Workers Republic'...it's the founding of a Communist State. The Republic would be dead.
You seek to tar the right with 'fascist' and 'tory'...but you yourselves want to return us to slavery...strip us of the right's of man (no vote, no property rights, no right to fair compensation, etc.)...
No, the socialists are NOT a pacifist party. And they are certainly not a party that can claim the mantle of 'defender of freedom.'
The socialists are intent on class warfare, of violence and civil war throughout ALL of Britain. Even now, they are organized and are awaiting the chance to rise up and start ANOTHER civil war.
I say we rise up and vote Liberal. That we say no to their ideology of eternal class struggle, and yes to government of all the people, and BY all the people. Their tyrrany SHALL NOT STAND. Britain's future is in your hands:
VOTE LIBERAL
You say that the country shall no longer be free when the labour councils rule. Is it then free, when half the citizens of our nation are barred from the vote because of their sex?
You say that the confiscation of land and inheritance, to be redistributed amongst the populace, is an act of violence. Is it then not violence, when the exploiters of the poor continue to hoard their lands, passing it on from generation to generation, never giving the common man a chance of seeing the tiniest bit of reward?
You say that it is tyranny to confiscate the possessions of those who seek to harm our republic. Is it then not tyranny to bereave the poor of their lives, when they seek to confront those who oppress them!?
You say that the republic is dead, because the state takes control of banks, transportation and communication - Is it not dead, then, when a person is tied to his or her birthplace, stripped of rights, forced to work for the gain of the few, enslaved and killed in his or her search for the freedom that ought to belong to any living human being!?
We do not wish for violence. We do not wish for yet another struggle, for yet another bout of meaningless slaughter. What we want is liberty, equality, and a good life for all citizens, no matter their sex or heritage. That, my comrades, is what we want!
#1 Worker's Councils are democratic. The only disenfranchisement will be that of the parasitic leeches who feast on the toils of the workers, who will become workers in turn when the places of work at nationalized.
#2 What right does some aristocratic lord have that lets him own vast tracts of land and practically enslave the farmers? Land is not stolen. Land belongs to everyone.
#3 Inheritance is the act of giving some spoilt brat fortunes for simply being lucky enough to have been born into a wealthy family, whose father probably inherited the wealth himself. The money should be used for the betterment of the nation, not to allow a fool to lounge around for the rest of his life on a fortune that he never earned.
#4 Rebels, contrary to being "honest and hardworking", are those who criminally resist the will of the people and the state. Yet the NCP seeks not only to arrest those who hold differing opinions, but to murder them in cold blood, while the Liberals allowed them to get into this position in the first place.
#5 Nationalizing vital institutions is one of the principle tenets of a worker's republic. These industries should not be controlled by the selfish elites, but by the worker's themselves.
Yes, a Worker's Republic would be the death of this present Republic. But this Republic is imperfect, blemished by the genocidal promises of the NCP and the laissez faire attitude to social and economic problems of the Liberals.
The revolution would not enslave anyone, but would equalize everyone. Everyone would be given a vote, as everyone would become proletarian.
And the accusation that we await the chance to cause a civil war is nothing but scaremongering and lies. We have always wished to see the Revolution achieved at the ballot box, but if the NCP seek to murder us for being rational, then we have a right to defend ourselves. We are peaceful, but we will not roll over and be destroyed by the tyranny of the reactionary.
National Conservative!
Fight fire with fire
For a second there i thought i was going to be the only voter for NCP :'(
Britain is doomed if any other party but the NCP is voted in, We must vote NCP and Follow Germany's Method to deal with this potential Revolution!
