How Do You Decide Which Candidate...
you will vote for? Do you listen to the Debates? Do you research online? Do you put a lot of effort in finding out what the Candidate is about?

Re: How Do You Decide Which Candidate...
If I vote, I usually just vote my ticket. None of them are worth a damn. They all have their own agenda and it usually doesn't benefit people like me.

Re: How Do You Decide Which Candidate...
I vote on party policy alone since the UK system is to vote in a party rather than a candidate. I'll listen to debates and what they have to say but unfortunately the two biggest parties are both so centre right (Labour should be traditionally left wing!!) there is no choice.

Re: How Do You Decide Which Candidate...
I don't follow Politics anymore and haven't voted for prolly 10 years or more. I simply tired of picking the lesser evil when it came to candidates so unless I truly like one particular politician (which is extremely rare), I don't vote.
I also don't blame my plight on the current Political Party as I waive my right to do so by not voting and I realize this. AFAIC, none of them really do much in the way of good without balancing it with healthy portions of bad. I can find things I agree and disagree with in all candidates so it comes down to who's packaged the half truths the neatest.

I think the whole world is interested in that. I just don't want Mrs. Opportunist to win,

Re: How Do You Decide Which Candidate...
Wish you could all add your votes so she won't win. That one has me worried!!
