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?

Labour.

DiseasesOfTheSheep · 10/09/2013 18:22

Tory because it makes sense to me.

So i meant increased income support payments. I'm in Jersey, we have our own goverment but are under the crown. So different benefits system.

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 10/09/2013 18:24

Distrusted Campbells.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 10/09/2013 18:29

They're all shite, well the major parties anyway.

Ideally Green, but obviously it'd be a wasted vote, so I'd have to go Labour. The Lib Dems are dead in the water. And the Tories can all go to hell in the handcart they're trying to take the NHS/arts/schools/everything else it's worth having a society for to hell in.

AWeeBitConfused · 10/09/2013 18:31

SNP

quinkstink · 10/09/2013 18:33

Labour

arkestra · 10/09/2013 18:34

Would vote Labour, as I have done all my voting life, but have promised myself not to if Ed Balls is Shadow Chancellor at the time. I just think his being there is an expression of absolute intellectual bankruptcy on the economic front. I don't mind Ed Milliband so much actually.

So Lib Dem then for me I guess Shock

slapandpickle · 10/09/2013 18:35

Depends on the MP. Have lived in a few diff areas - if Eastbourne libdem no question, the MP is fantastic bloke who cares about his constituents and campaigns for disabled people, one of the rare good guys. Have lived in Battle and pointless voting there as useless sex scandal Tory MP gets something like a 70% majority every time. Currently seriously wavering - sitting Tory MP and only viable competition is labour whom I am not keen on either. could never vote tory after what this govt have done and not keen on lib dems as a whole again due to coalition. UKIP racist and insane. May spoil ballot paper.

If I lived in Brighton Pavilion would def vote Caroline Lucas :D Green if viable would be my vote of choice. Roll on proportional representation!

BMW6 · 10/09/2013 18:37

Conservative.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 10/09/2013 18:37

Honestly don't know, I've always voted lib dem.

I have a feeling it would be conservatives for me, which feels seriously odd.

Lorelai · 10/09/2013 18:37

I'd vote Lib Dem, as previously, mainly because we have a Tory MP, and Labour only get about 4% of the vote here, so the only way to get the Tories out is to vote Lib Dem.

happycrimblechuckie · 10/09/2013 18:37

I would vote Labour as I have done all my life until I fell for Cleggie's backstabbing ways last time, I was so impressed by him and Vince Cable I was blind to the fact that he could think of siding with Compo to form this ass face of a government we have now, I was sure he would go with Labour. The only reason I changed was because of the Student fees and look what the twats have done to our Universities. I hate this Govern,ent and that is that!

picnicbasketcase · 10/09/2013 18:39

Labour. I can't believe anyone would still vote Conservative when they're doing their level best to destroy everything we should be proud of in this country, not to mention ruining people's lives. I guess anyone who would must be either very rich or very old and nothing they're doing is making any difference to them.

ravenAK · 10/09/2013 18:40

Labour. Always. Only way to turf the tories.

picnic they are getting us out of the recession Confused what do you suggest?

Lorialet · 10/09/2013 18:47

UKIP.

ziggiestardust · 10/09/2013 18:48

Whoever got in power after Labour/Gordon Brown was going to have to make some pretty unpopular policies, IMHO.

hardboiledpossum · 10/09/2013 18:48

Green or labour.

dreamingofsun · 10/09/2013 18:49

drinkfrom - i imagine picnic wants them to give more handouts to people. she obviously doesn't care for the LT or what sort of legacy we are leaving our children as long as we have ST gain and lots of handouts

PrimalLass · 10/09/2013 18:49

SNP.

I have voted Lib Dem all my live, when I was in Ming Campbells's constituency. Am now in Gordon Brown's and he can't seem to turn up to Westminster these days.

The Tories make me want to weep.

TidyDancer · 10/09/2013 18:50

Labour.

May have considered LD until they got in bed with the Tories and then they became a no way never option.

Though I am not a Miliband fan.

CharityFunDay · 10/09/2013 18:50

Labour, with misgivings.
