(14,738 posts)That's something that most of us actively avoid.
Mind you, with less billboard adverts, and less people putting party signs in their windows and front gardens, this has been an easier general election to avoid then most. The 3 main parties really need to start getting people motivated to join in with them.

(135,425 posts)Were I a voter in UK, I wouldn't give them my vote, but I do find this funny as hell:
And the Liberal Democrat one? It's like "Join the party and get assaulted in a dark alley while listening to your headphones on dark, miserable streets...." Labor and Conservatives are cars that will MOW YOU DOWN!!!!!
WTF were they thinking???
You shouldn't actively avoid them--even if you disagree with them, they are worth one view so you know for certain there's nothing on offer that you might like.

(14,738 posts)...actively avoid party political broadcasts.
I did however make a point of attending a local constituency debate, as it's your local MP you actually vote for rather then the party leaders.

I have posted a little write up of the local hustings I attended in the "Who's Your MP" thread in the UK forum though!
