so if another election was called tomorrow, would you still vote the same?

I think there are probably quite a lot of people that wouldn't.

A lot of disilusioned people no longer believing in their respective parties (loss of support on all sides imho).

so - would you?

Would you in fact vote at all?

I would vote the same..labour

muminlondon · 11/05/2010 19:14

If we had PR I might vote Labour and Green (not sure which order). But with first past the post would probably vote Lib Dem again.

If I lived in a Labour seat would probably vote Labour.

ARbaby · 11/05/2010 19:12

I voted libdem and wish I hadn't. I would vote Labour as I have every other time.

kerstina · 11/05/2010 19:11

Yes i would still have voted Labour .Gordon Brown is the only genuine one out of the three of them. He really has strong convictions and you could tell he really wanted to help people rather than just help the rich get richer.
So glad i did not vote for the Lib dems i would feel so betrayed.

curiositykilledhaskittens · 11/05/2010 19:09

If there was PR and we had a candidate I would vote green. If the lib dems do a deal with the tories I would vote labour. I voted lib dem.

Peabody · 11/05/2010 19:00

I voted Lib Dem because I wanted them to get in over Labour (was a marginal seat) and they did. But if there was any form of PR I would vote Green.

MarineIguana · 11/05/2010 17:52

I voted lib dem and I would revert to Labour. I'm really a labour supporter but haven't voted for them since the iraq war because I think it was wrong and I want to hear an apology. I also voted tactically this election to keep the tories out of my seat.

However the whole thing has made my labour sympathies come back stronger than ever and realise it's time to put Iraq behind me maybe.

mumutd · 11/05/2010 17:37

Would still be labour for me. Maybe the question should be, all those that voted Lib Dem - would what has happened over the last few days make you change your vote and if so, which way would you vote?

Cammelia · 11/05/2010 17:30

Yes I would vote the same again - we finally succeeded in ousting the very unpleasant Labour MP

KaraThrace · 11/05/2010 17:26

I am with everyone who voted LD but would revert back to Labour - I too feel bad. I voted LD based on local MP but would not again.

nighbynight · 11/05/2010 17:06

yes, my choice would still be the same.

DramaInPyjamas · 11/05/2010 17:05

I'd vote the same. Even though I feel it's a wasted vote as they have no chance.
The same party gets in here - year in, year out. And probably always will.

Yes, would vote the same (Lab), but like tatt would vote differently if we had AV or some version of PR.

scaryteacher · 11/05/2010 16:48

'Yes I would vote Tory agan and if it were an AV election I woud put a 1 against the Tory and refuse to have my vote transferred to any other candidate. I feel that strongly.'

Totally agree, unless there were 2 Tories on the ballot paper.

tatt · 11/05/2010 16:46

If we had PR I would vote differently, because my vote would actually matter for once.

I was a wavering lib dem.

Glad I didn't vote for them as Clegg has really got on my last shredded nerve these past few days.

I think the Monster Raving Looney party will have a bumper crop of votesvery soon next election.

mrsruffallo · 11/05/2010 16:37

No, I would still vote Labour.

ShinyAndNew · 11/05/2010 16:23

I would vote Labour instead of Lib Dem, not that it would matter as even during the Thatcher years we were a safe Labour seat. Labour got in here anyway and probably always will.

Tory instead of UKIP. The Tories were thought to have absolutely no chance in my constituency but did very well, so would revert back.

Blu · 11/05/2010 15:10

Yes, the same. Labour.And would prefer it if it were still G B.

BUT I think the LD candidate in our constituency would have made a better local MP.

SoMuchToBits · 11/05/2010 15:07

I would also vote the same. Even though I know my candidate won't get in here (came 2nd, but large majority for winning party).

if we have another election in October, I will have to organise another Playmobil one (but with more canvassing, proper manifestos etc this time)
