My constituency is Birmingham Edgbaston

Unfortunately there is not a lot of choice really!!!

IMO the Tories are unelectable (what are their policies?), the Liberal Dems have some progressive policies.....environmental and taxation.....but I worry about their foreign policy stance and also their ability to form a coherent government......

Errrrrrrrrr guess that only leaves one choice!!!

Curent voting intentions:
(I'll not do UK because that depends on my constituency's candidates, and I haven't got a clue what I should pick as my constituency.)
Next elections coming up are local elections in the spring of 2006.
We have a very nice, but very complicated system for local elections - there are 93 seats on the city council, 19 on the ward council, and you have 93 votes for the one, 19 for the other, and may cast up to three votes for one candidate.
It is possible to tick a little box and vote a straight party ticket, or even to tick that box and cast some more votes down ticket, which means the remainder of your votes go party-line. It's also possible to vote party-line but strike some candidates you disagree with.
I'll probably do as I did last time:
Vote straight party Green, strike some people I disagree with, liberally sprinkle extra votes on low-on-the-list Greens I like, or just know personally, on Social Democrats I like or know, and on some protest leftwing parties.

Telford: Wright is local, is a good constituency M.P and is a decent ideological match for the seat.
The Tory candidate, btw, is an irritating carpet bagger from Helmel Hempstead or somewhere similer (I wouldn't vote Tory anyway but still...)

Federally:
Probably NDP, although they have no shot at my riding (Haldimand-Norfolk)
Although this assumes that the election will be after Oct 2, 2005, when I turn 18

Provincially:
NDP
The Tories have proven themselves just plain evil in Ontario, and Dalton McGuinty hasn't been much better

Conservative. I had a brief moment of uncertainty there, but I'm going to stick with the Tories.

Oxford East & Abingdon (incumbent: Evan Harris, LD)

I would vote Labour if I thought they could win, but they can't. So I'll probably vote Green just to try to help the guys save their deposit.

I was really upset over that whole Boris Johnson thing. I thought that the Tories were intent on losing for forever. It seems that they've corrected themselves just enough to keep me as a voter.
