are you happy with how you voted?

i currently work in the nhs and am about to go into policing within the next month. 2 areas that are about to get axed massively.

are you happy with how you voted? i am the only one in my household and in my workplace who feels i was true to my beliefs and is still happy with how i voted.

are you still happy or do you think your were duped?

i voted labour and i would again.

Yep. Voted Tory, still happy with it.

Sorry, probably not what you were angling for.

Not at all happy. My DH and I voted Tory and they are completely screwing it up!

The changes they are making are far too soft and way too slow. The problem is Cameron is far too centrist and the Coaltion can't make hard choices. I hoped for a less statist government to reverse the Labour years. I expected the axe to swing far more rapidly over the public sector, with an end to final salary pensions etc etc. I wanted benefits slashed (£500/week max ... I want £200/week max).

At this slow pace the economy is going to be still stuffed at the next election. Labour will get in ... currency will collapse ... IMF will have to bail UK out etc etc.

Very. Labour party member, voter and constituent here. Just frustrated at myself that I didn't do more to help the national campaign.

Liberal activists voted for the coalition agreement at the conference in Birmingham by about 96%, or something like that.

anastaisia · 02/08/2010 11:56

Lots of liberal activists are very anti Labour though Gabby - some of us are much happier that the Lib Dems went with the party they have civil liberties in common with rather than left leaning economic policies in common with.

GabbyLoggon · 31/07/2010 12:01

I suppose if things go as predicted, there will be a lotof anger towards the Fib-Dems in six months time.

Nick Cleagg has worked for the Tories before. And the Liberal activists are very anti-Tory.

Power is keeping the plaster on the wounds at the moment. But Vince Cables body language speaks volumes.

Voted LibDem. Regret it deeply. Would vote Labour if there were to be an election tomorrow. (I was a member of the LibDems for years and have returned my membership card in shame and disgust.)

I think Conservative voters are very interested in politics, which is why they turned out in large numbers to vote the socialists out. They wanted change and an end to the damage that the socialists were inflicting on the country. The socialists were kicked out of all but two seats in the entire East of England. East of England working class and middle class voters turned out in droves to end the socialists' reign.

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 22/07/2010 12:28

Giddy - I'm not sure if the old voting Tory shame is as strong these days (or at least it wasn't pre-election).

I think the reason we see so few Conservative voters on threads like these is that Conservative voters are, by and large, less interested in politics.

I voted labour

have just got back from my holidays. You have no idea how depressing it is to come back to this lot dismantling the welfare state and taking us back to casual philanthropy and the like

...it's going to be like the thirties by the time we have the chance to vote them out again; I'm afraid that by then the damage will be just about irreparable

am i allowed to celebrate the fact that my thread has got to 10 pages?

i dont think ive ever had such a big one.

back to topic. just before the election there was much interest in how the mn contingent was going to vote. seems there are rather alot of labour voters on here. so how did the condems get in?
was it just the people who couldnt make up their mind and went for libdems as a protest? cross with labour, couldnt bring themselves to vote tory?

I voted Labour - and will do again. I would probably never have voted Lib Dem - but that doesn't stop me being dissapointed in them.

wouldliketoknow · 21/07/2010 19:50

i can't vote, not brit, but i believed in nick clegg, what a lie, sold his ideals for a fancy position, locally, we have a lib dem mp, who is the best, wouldn't change him for the world, alternative is tory, so. but general parlament, devastating, who knows what state the country will be in in 5 years... worst part, m ost people voted lib dem to keep the tories out, let that be a lesson to us all, from know on labour.

I voted Lib Dem - and will do so again when hell freezes over.

sue52 · 21/07/2010 17:37

I voted Labour. I live in a traditionally Tory area so I knew it was a wasted vote. So glad I didn't vote Lib Dem, I would have felt betrayed. I could never bring myself to vote Conservative.

drymartini · 21/07/2010 17:07

I voted labour so delighted with the result, considering there was a very slim chance they'd get returned. And frankly, who wants to be in government anyway - a poisoned chalice. To those looking for more Euroscepticism, I think it is extremely unlikely it will come, with the US senate blaming us for everything and Obama using 'Britain bashing' to build bridges with the Republicans, Europe is our only big alli. China here we come!
