If I vote Tory, would I be shooting myself in the foot, as a lone parent?

Just that really. I am musing. Never voted before and never been interested in politics (though I am fascinated by it all now) so I am feeling a bit blind with all this! I keep changing my mind about who to vote for.

I want to go back to college either this or next September rather than getting a job just yet. DS is 18 months. Do you think that I would be able to do this under a conservative government, or will I be forced to work? Thinking childcare costs etc. I can't find anything in any of the manifestos about it - does anyone know what the other parties have said or are likely to do?

Yes. I was a lone parent and will now never vote for the Tories, would be like a turkey voting for Christmas.

Lib Dems - preserve existing childcare support programmes until public finances permit better ones.
