Our polling cards have been delivered so we're ready. Do many of us actually know much about our MP to know whether to re elect him/her?

I haven`t got my polling card yet but have had leaflets through the door about what the Tories will do for Wiltshire if elected!!

who do you think will win? i know which party i will vote for but i think that is just lifelong conditioning, as the older and wise i get i dont really see anything much between them. Tina

I think Labour will win although I am not voting for them!

i am not sure although if i was pressed then i would have to say labour, i also will not be voting for them but apart from being a life long voter of another party, i cant stand John Prescott and Gordon Brown at any price. Tina

It'd be very odd if Labour do win. No-one I know will be voting for them. How can they win without anyone voting for them? lol

Hi Tracy, Almost everyone I know will be voting Labour, despite some misgivings. I would like to vote Lib Dem but around here they don't stand a chance and I would never vote Tory so I'll probably vote for Labour as well. Gwynne

I would vote for Labour but being in a strong Tory area, I will vote Lib Dem as a tactical vote. Jacky

I've just emailed my MP (Bill Olner, Labour) to say that as he has never responded to my emails over the last parliament, I will not be voting for him!

You don't need to vote Labour; someone else will do that for you. A judge found six Labour Party councillors responsible for corrupt and illegal practices during the poll last year. Thousands of postal votes were used fraudulently (up to 2000 in Bordesley Green alone) and the system would disgrace a banana republic, according to the Judge. I think this sums Labour up perfectly.
