Quick question, I was told that you guys vote for the party, not the person directly, is this true?
You vote for your local MP, which means little if there is a big majority for one party. The party with a majority of MPs forms the government. Westminster has long been a rubber stamp legislature for the party machines and the EU, and favoured candidates get parachuted into safe seats. Ironically, you probably get more freethinking in the unelected House of Lords. People have become more cynical about politics as the House of Commons has been emasculated, and as the parties have few real differences between them.

almost sounds like the U.S. government, only with more free thinking
Well,the SNP get 55% of...8%,thus 4.4 % on a national level...
Governments are formed by the 3 major parties...
So,to keep the poll mainstream,those 3 party choices were the right ones...
Lib Dems are wishy washy. Cameron gives me the creeps, he's like a used car salesman. Gordo is hardly great, but the lesser of 3 evils.
