Question So Election 2010, have you decided, still unsure or couldn't care less?

As the scaremongering of a hung parliment continues, I wonder if the normal apathy of the UK voter will be shaken off this time?

So will you be trotting down to the polling station to place your X or do you only vote for X factor

I think this time it appears as though it is going along the American lines, tv debates etc more and more media savvy.

I think lib dems have the best chance since they formed but I think when it comes to putting the x in the box people will vote for one of the two that have already been in power.

I suspect a tory win this time.

Yep, my X will be going with the Tories, Too long have we been shafted by a Labour Government.

Guarantee a pound to a pinch it will be a hung P which is about as much use as a wicker rescue boat.

I feel like I have to vote - maybe it's a female thing, I'm very very aware that it's still not so long ago that women were going to incredible lengths to get me the right to vote, and that I shouldn't just dismiss that with a "can't be bothered".

I can't bring myself to vote for either the Labour or the Conservative candidate, locally. I've had to deal with both of them in their "professional" capacities, one as an MP, the other as a councillor, and I was let down by both of them. But I need to find out more about the other candidates - no info through the door about any of them yet.

Meanwhile, having fun with the #nickcleggsfault hashtag on twitter.

The blue ones for me.. Nick Clegg is doing OK, but IMO the party has no depth to it. Brown is on death row just eating his last meal

Well I have always been tory boy then a couple of weeks ago I had this overwhelming wobble and started to think Lib Dem.

That was until the TV debates started and my votometer flicked striaght back to the tories.

Charlie Brown was as usual a petty argumentative muppet and Clegg was just stuck on repeat.

So DC will be getting my casting vote.
