Inspired by a Blog I read, title is a joke (like the green party).

Housing - I think High prices are caused by supply and demand, but an excess supply of money, rather than a lack of supply of housing (however many poor people there are, there are lots of people with money buying up housing at the market rates, and the price of goods is set by what the market will bear). - But whatever your theory none of the parties have any solution, targets to build 100k or 300k houses are just targets, they have no plans on where to build and how to make them cheaper, some parties even want to increase local powers = more nimbyism = less building / fact.

Deficit - None of them have a scooby. Some want to raise taxes, but even if all the taxes talked about passed parliament and are paid in full with no dodging, its a few billion here and there. Parties talk about tax dodging and stopping this, without saying what how and where (seeing as tax dodging is nothing new, the details matter, as it may turn out they can do jack all about it), even then its another few billion here n there, the deficit is 70-90 billion depending which source you read.

Immigration - They are all pro immigration apart from UKIP, UKIP want the Australian system as a solution, Australian immigration is proportionally 3 times higher than ours = the lot of em are clueless on how to deal with the issue or don't care.

Public services - None of the parties want to discontinue any public services = None of the parties can in that case offer any real reduction in the running costs. The lib dems want to give them a pay-rise (I agree), they are either needed so you pay em decently, or you decide you don't need them full stop and fire them (unnecessary managers, quangoes, bladebla and etcetera etcetera).

As you can see, the voting choice is clear.

Vote for the party that will do the least damage? Any suggestions Aron?

1 million vote NOTA, 1 person votes BNP = BNP wins.

Lib dems.

They won't push through with their 'mansion tax', they don't really have any strong views for or against anything (at least in practice) and they keep the more insane side of the other parties in check.

Don't disagree , I don't really think a NOTA is a serious option of course . If nobody wanted anyone on the ballot then what exactly would be the alternative? I've heard a suggestion we could , or should , have a system based on referendums for all major issues . A similar system has been used in California I believe but does create a lot of red tape and there is still the problem of voter apathy so I'm not fully convinced on that either.
If only we could cherry pick policies from them all .
