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?

My MP at present is a fantastic MP and I woulkd not hesitate to vote for her - Justine Greening. We are moving and I shall still Vote for Stephen Hammond but not with the same conviction. I would be happier with a different leader; I have met this one :(

Labour.

Conservative are the rich person's party and are selling off the country.

Lib dems have lost my vote, they are no longer a party.

I don't know who I'd vote for but i can tell you that I will NEVER EVER vote for Libdems again, no matter what they do next or who's the candidate or leader. They're disgusting.

My MP is Jacob Rees-Mogg and I will be giving him a peace of my mind when he knocks on my door in 2015

Sorry, peace should say piece obviously. I definitely do not feel peace towards Jacob!

Conservative

I have no idea. I can't vote Tory, it goes against everything I believe in. I won't vote Lib Dem again due to the coalition embarrassment. But Labour don't seem to have any substance. I really hope they step up their game or we'll end up with a Conservative government purely because they seem to be the only organised party.

Green. But it would make no difference because there is no way my constituency would return anything than a labour MP.

I would like to vote green in local elections, but they never stand in my ward.

"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."

Ooh name calling, how adult.

Now if that had been written by anybody else i would have argued it but given you freely admit your DH is SE and takes a low wage (and leaves the rest in the business for expenses) and the tax credits enabled you to ot work and save them for a second house purchase then forgive me if i dont believe the above.

I'vel always voted LibDem as I really like our MP Charles Kennedy.
But I also hate their betrayal to their roots, so It will probably be SNP for me.l

Tricky one. I live in a seemingly unshakable Tory seat and the only oppostition is LibDem but they are still many thousands away from being a viable option here.

I come from an old labour stronghold but never voted for T Bliar. So usually go for LibDem.

This time round, given their capitulation in order to rule...I dunno. Probably the lesser of two evils depending on the local candidates, likely therefore still to be LibDem.

Economically I am definitely a Labour voter. But I know that if they get back in they will open the doors to unfettered immigration again. This has been extremely bad for me personally in regards to wages in my husband's profession being decimated. I'm also not convinced that it hasn't stagnated my wages and caused the cost of housing to rocket. I'm concerned about how it will effect my local services which are already stretched.

Therefore I won't vote for Labour. I think on that one issue I would probably vote Tory. Except there is not point where I live as they don't stand a chance. So either spoiling my ballot paper or making a protest vote, possibly for UKIP, but only if I could be certain that they wouldn't actually get in.

Seasick so you would vote UKIP as a protest vote only if you we're sure they wouldn't get in? Sorry but I don't get it, you either support them or you don't. It's very immature to vote as a protest. A vote is still a vote. You like them but are not ready to admit it yet or perhaps not on MN. Very hypocritical imo.

Every financier in the world has commented that our cuts have been too deep and too fast.

No they haven't.

Those on benefits dont stop adding to their families
Daily Mail myth, this is not reality, this is what I mean by I want the narrative changed. You believe what this government has chosen to continuously tell you and the more it's repeated the more you believe. You do not seem to comprehend that this coalition are using 1984 as a handbook.

heidihole I have a very long memory, which is exactly what would prevent me voting Conservative.

I

I have voted Labour in all past elections but there is no fucking way I would want ed Miliband as pm. I would probably spoil my ballot paper with 'batman' or similar.

I'm really surprised at the number of people saying they would vote Labour.

I know MN is very left-wing but it's still surprising.

Although, it explains why so many threads go they way they do.

I do work, I am a company director. However, previously I was a sahm and my family were in receipt of FTC, they still are in fact as it is worked on the previous years income.
You are showing your naivety again if you believe a business owner is in a position to pay themselves all the profit the business makes.
How do you propose they are able to run the business if they take the money for jollies or even to pay the bills.
But of course you don't seem to have the intelligence to understand this, you'd rather spout tour usual ill informed bollocks.
People who earn less the 16K receive FTC, the top up is hardly enough to pay a large mortgage, feed and clothe a family, run a home, etc.
Sometimes I wonder what planet you are on.

Conservative.

A lot more spending/welfare cuts to be made. I do not want to go back to a profligate Labour spendthrift environment

Labour. I live in a Tory stronghold so my vote is wasted. Like Someone else said up thread its all elderly voters, landowners and bankers here. Those that do live in poverty have been duped into thinking immigration is their biggest problem.

Labour didn't create "the mess" the mess is due to neo-liberal economic policy, the greed of bankers, the way in which money is created into the system and globalisation. I don't think Labour can realistically tackle any of this but I think it will kill them to have to carry through the privatisation agenda, whereas the Conservatives are purely self serving toffs.

Labour definitely. Can't wait to get rid of this Eton riddled government. Hope Ed has gone by then though and think the Tories will get in whatever.

A lot more spending/welfare cuts to be made.
Really? There are disabled people losing their homes because of welfare cuts and you really think there should be more?

Bimbabira No, it would be exactly that. A protest vote. I do have a certain amount of sympathy with some of their policies, for example I would like much lower limits of immigration, and I would prefer much looser links with Europe. But I don't want them to get in because I suspect that their economic policies would be terrible as would rights for women etc. Plus they have some right fruitcakes involved who I wouldn't really like to see in power.

A protest vote is just that. Their two headline policies - Europe and immigration - are things the majority of voters are concerned about if the polls are to be believed. And none of the major parties will deal with them apart from the Tories with immigration possibly. Support for UKIP is scaring them into dealing with these issues and that's exactly why I would be making a protest vote.

I really can't believe there are people that want more welfare cuts, do they have their eyes closed? They have gone too far as it is.

I wonder how many people vote for the party which will do themselves good, or the country as a whole.
