to ask how you would vote if there was a General Election tomorrow?

[coco87]

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?

- 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

The legacy I'd like to leave for our children includes a health service and education system that aren't run for profit and no dependency on food banks. It's got naff all to do with handouts.

What tangible improvements to the country and people's lives have you seen since ConDem came to power?

Oh - I would probably vote Labour, which is the party of the current MP. She seems fairly level headed.

But beepoff (and I'm not suggesting you're wrong, btw), spending as it was under Labour could not possibly continue. It couldn't. You cannot continue spending money you don't have! Whilst I'm not saying I agree with all their policies, whoever got in power this time round, was going to have to make deeply unpopular cuts.

I've just got no idea. I've a "small business" but I won't vote Tory as they hate me and mine (DH is paralysed). Last time I voted Lib Dem but that's a vote for the Tories now so that's no good.

I'd vote Labour except I hate Ed Miliband and I don't believe they are the party of labour any more (and they're kicking out the unions just to underline that right now!). I used to vote Labour but they are just such horrifying traitors and I can't cope with it. At least you know the Tories will screw you. When Labour does it it just hurts too much.

IDK where I fit any more. I don't think any major party is interested in my vote, my view, or anything to do with my life at all, frankly. There's nothing that represents me out there.

In our locals I voted Pirate Party. They honestly had the best policies. I'd vote PP in a general if it were an option.

I live in the bluest of blue rural areas, so my vote counts for nothing. I still vote though. I'm one of the 2% that do vote for the Labour guy. If more people voted where I live things might change, but it's basically old people, farmers, landowners, and the wealthy who bother, plus me and about 10 other people. If we had a choice it might help. Last local election, all candidates were Tory or UKIP. I spoiled my paper.

I should add that living where I do I see day in, day out the results of Tory power. No facilities, no help, no wealth unless you were wealthy anyway, lots and lots of poverty, very poor tertiary education levels, and lots of cap doffing. Why do they still get in? Because they pay the race card, every time. Hence i'm living in the UKIP capital of the UK. Because people are a bit frightened of Romanians.

Don't know, but probably Conservative although with misgivings. For example I agree with a lot of their policies in principal for example bedroom tax, but the implementation is shitty - for example it exempting the over 65s (who are probably the age group most likely to be able to size down) and no quick and easy system for the disabled who need more space to get an exemption. In principle though, a social house shouldn't be 'for life' it should fit your needs at the time.

How ever, I don't trust Labour - the last government was economically incompetent and didn't work it in the poorest's best interests - all the problems with have with the high cost of housing are due to many of their policies. I especially detest Ed Balls. He is an absolute arsehole. (What Yvette Cooper who I do quite like sees in him I do not know).

I would vote Lib Dem except their policies on Europe are untenable to me.

So all in all that brings me back around to the Conservatives. What I'd really like is a new evidence based centre right party who understood the causes of poverty and the barriers that poor people and disabled people faced. Enabling the disadvantaged need not be solely the left's area.

Lib Dem, down with Pony Lady!

Its Lib Dem or Tory here, although since they played with the boundaries last time its pretty much Tory whatever happens.

Actually, the cuts is also a myth spun by the Tories to cover up there bid to make the top tier of earners, richer. Every financier in the world has commented that our cuts have been too deep and too fast. Had we been a little more gentle and a bit slower, we would have been coming out of recession earlier.

Labour. Mind you I think Miliband need to be filmed saving a toddler from drowning or similar to be in with a chance

My principles are conservative with a small 'c', but Teflon Dave who has systematically victimised those least able to help themselves, such as the disabled, desperately needs a reminder that he isn't God; so he's not getting my vote.

So I might vote UKIP since they have no chance of getting in tomorrow; too many of their members have said the wrong things lately.

(I have often systematically voted for whoever is least likely to win, so that I'm not feeding the big egos.)

People are keen to blame others for everything. Personal responsibility seems to have gone out of the window.

Those on benefits dont stop adding to their families, WTC enabled people to choose to work very few hours or to have an adult in the house not working and many simply give up work (or never did in the first place) and claim they cant work as they have a child! But its not their fault, its everyone elses

If benefits were a true welfare state then no caps would have been needed but sadly labour made benefits pay more than working for many and reversing that will take time and the party made out to be evil etc.

Whilst not perfect, the conservatives are at least trying to get us back on an even keel which our children need.

Hope you've got a tally for us, OP

The last and previous Labour governments were absolutely brilliant for me and my family.
I would never vote Conservative because of the mess they are making and have done historically.

Tories, Lib Demo are popular and then people vote for their real choice!

Labour got us into the recession and I wouldnnt trust Ed Millband to cut my toenails.

Labour but I want a strong leader.

Happy

Your naivity is stunning
One in 5 WORKERS earn below the living wage, this is why we have WTC, you loon.
It has enabled very few people to have a sahp, but as WTC is only available to the very low income families their out goings must be very low to afford this.
Most people who receive Tax Credits are working.

Some people have terrible memories! Can people not look around and see the pile of pig shit that labour have got us into with their unsustainable borrowing and throwing money at crap?

I'd vote Tory or ukip and good luck to them trying to dig us out of labours mess.

Anyone voting labour will deserve it when the UK goes bust like Greece and there are riots in the streets.

Labour.

APNI - Alliance Party Northern Ireland. Am loving the tumbleweed through this thread - no comments from NI...as we don't talk about politics here....

There is no party that supports families like mine anymore. I used to vote conservative, but never again since the child benefit debacle and the shafting of the single income earning family. I am no fan of labour and the lib dems are just prostitutes who will get into bed with anyone to gain power. I really am disillusioned by all of them. I think I will just write "none of the above, they are all a shower of shits" on my ballot paper. Shame really that we don't have a decent party that represents normal people

The mess they are making, we are out of recession. Surely you mean the mess Labour made......
