Ok, now I don't like any of the parties at the moment and they seem to be very similar (red Tories/blue Labour etc).

However, if there was a GE tomorrow I would vote Lib Dems because my local MP is Lib Dem and is really good, listens to voters and has done a lot of good work for the area. I don't rate them at a national level and don't agree with most of their policies but locally my MP (who just happens to be Lib Dem) is definitely the best choice.

Who would you vote for if there was a GE tomorrow?

Andy Burnham would be good.

queenofdrama · 10/09/2013 15:03

Labour. Not Ed though. I think it's time for a lady PM.

PhantomMenace · 10/09/2013 15:04

I'd vote UKIP if they were a viable party, which atm they are not. As a fall back it would have to be the conservatives, there is something very unlikeable about Milliband.

I'll never forgive Labour for their self-proclaimed (by Mandelson) provocative immigration policies. I think Labour had a historical role but I also think they are finished for now - they have no leadership, no policies and nothing to say.

UKIP, the rest have had their chances...

Milliband is an absolute gormless arse, the UK would be laughed off the face of the planet if we elected that twat to run us....

angelos02 · 10/09/2013 15:15

No idea - all parties seem to be much of a muchness.

I wouldn't leave Milliband in charge of a paper bag.

NotYoMomma · 10/09/2013 15:19

Labour

Retropear · 10/09/2013 15:19

Hmmm tough question.

I know who I won't vote for -libdems(utterly shafted + CB issue), conservative are anti sahp + CB issue and just sort the rich out,labour would be financial suicide sooooooo.....

ideas please!

SilverOldie · 10/09/2013 15:34

Without a doubt Conservatives. It would be a disaster if Labour got back in to screw up the country yet again.

I'm a Lib Dem but I would vote Labour as they are more likely to win round here.

HavantGuard · 10/09/2013 15:59

I curse Ed Balls' parental grandfather on a regular basis. If he'd dropped the S from his surname his grandson could be a party leader, maybe prime minister.

HappyMummyOfOne · 10/09/2013 16:04

Conservative, Labour just threw money at people to buy votes.

At least the current lot have introduced some good policies and are very much for self responsibility rather than the benefit culture that labour created. Not gone far enough, but a good start in the right direction.

cantspel · 10/09/2013 16:06

Conservative

Anyone who wants to vote green should go and have a look that the greens are making of Brighton. It might just change your mind.

HorryIsUpduffed · 10/09/2013 16:07

No bloody idea. I'd spoil my ballot I reckon.

GingerBlackAndOriental · 10/09/2013 16:11

Labour.

Takingbackmonday · 10/09/2013 16:15

UKIP

AnotherWorld · 10/09/2013 16:56

Honestly I have no idea

I usually vote lib dem. Could never vote labour - and the conservatives make my skin crawl.

Wish there was another option. This charge one way - then charge back the other has to stop.

So I would agonise about it - then vote Lib dem. My vote would make NO difference however as I live in a safe Tory seat.

Conservative

Dawndonnaagain · 10/09/2013 17:16

Those that vote UKIP, have you read their policies? You'd really vote for bringing back hanging, the removal of the human rights act (that means yours as well as 'theirs') and the putting disabled people in places equivalent to the workhouse. No integration in schools or in public?
What are their education policies?
For heaven's sake, can you not see that most of what is spun about Europe is a myth, that what Putin said about us is true and that we need, yes need Europe to survive?

JerseySpud · 10/09/2013 17:17

Conservatives. They are just trying to pick their way out of the shit storm that Labour got everyone in to.

SHarri13 · 10/09/2013 17:24

Green or else I'd spoil my vote.

SHarri13 · 10/09/2013 17:25

Cantspel, anyone voting Tory should go and see, oh wait, all of the UK and see what a great job they are doing Wink
