to wonder how all those who voted Lib Dem in 2010 are going to vote in the 2015 GE?

Curious to know if the Lib Dem vote will collapse as predicted or not.

If you don't want to say which party you are going to vote for instead of the Lib Dems, please can you just say "yes" or "no" as to whether you will be voting for the Lib Dems again, "yes" meaning you are going to vote Lib Dems again and "no" meaning you aren't.

In my case, I voted Lib Dems and I will be voting either Labour or Green in 2015.

We live in a pretty safe Labour seat and I do like my MP but we'll both be voting Green. DH has actually joined the party recently.

Voted Lib Dem last time. As was naively hoping for an alliance with Labour not Tories.
Not sure who will get my vote next but definitely wont be UKIP, Tory or Lib Dem (have learned that lesson). Looks like Labour.

Not again

DD cried when she saw the total on her student loan application.

I've always voted LibDem and will never do so again.

That's really sad skylark. I don't think I'd vote LD again because of this even though it didn't affect my DC's. But the thing is nearly everyone who has been to Uni will have these huge loans and the repayments don't start till I think £21K. There was something about this on that Martin Money programme a while ago. He more or less said not to worry about paying it back and the massive amounts owed because one set of parents were thinking of remortgaging their house to help out and he said it was madness.

I agree with everyone who says we need electoral reform.
Sadly, with FPTP, every vote most certainly does not count. Even if everyone voted according to their conscience, we'd still only get Tory or Labour Prime Ministers under the current system - and the power lies with the core executive, not Westminster as a whole.

If all votes counted equally, the LibDems would have 23% of the seats in Westminster to reflect their share of the popular vote in 2010. They don't. With a majoritarian system like FPTP, only the 2 big parties really benefit. That left the LibDems with a paltry 9% of the seats. Not that I am excusing the way Clegg betrayed the students in the interests of forming a coalition, but it does go same way to explaining it - how else were the LibDems going to get any of their policies turned into legislation? It was all one big trade-off.

Liberal Democrats always put themselves forward as the moral and ethical political conscience. Unfortunately under Cleggy, they have crashed and burned. The Tories are what they are but the LDs have become hoist by their own petard.

I'm in Scotland and feel that I will probably vote tactically (Labour) for the first time ever to dilute the SNP vote.

LD again.

I think they've done the best they could in coalition.

If the Great British Public actually gave a shit about tuition fees and had elected a LD gov't on that basis, then the LDs would have abolished tuition fees. Didn't happen. Bloody democracy (well, bloody FPTP).

2 liberal democrat flyers/magazines delivered today. I am thinking that by the election time I will be able to wallpaper my entire house with them- or maybe make a tree to replace the ones they have destroyed.

Green

LD again for the reasons Boulevard gives above.
I would be happy to see the same coalition back again in place of a LibLab or (god forbid) a ConUkip one.

Green, I think. Might go Labour though if I think they have a real chance of being elected here (safe conservative seat).

I probably will vote LD...... but purely for a tactical vote. Here it is either them or Conservatives.

If I lived in the same place I would be voting for the same MP, because I think that the MP I voted for has done a good job.

I am likely to be moving again before the vote happens, and I'll be voting for the individual MP not for the party.
