To ask for help who to vote for?

[GaryShitpeas]

I had no interest in politics before it started affecting me when the last lot of dickheads came into power

And never voted cos it bored me reading about it and I never thought it would affect my life. I realise it's this kind of apathy that is partly to blame for the situation we are in now and I'm really embarrassed.

Anyway I genuinely don't know who to vote for other than I'm not voting for the current lot.

Basically to give an idea of what matters most to me. I'm 35 mum of 3 (working but skint) and live in a rented council house. I care about the poor, the disabled and the elderly being looked after and tbh I have no qualms claiming tax credits in fact we need them and don't want to lose out there. The cost of living is a big worry (Hence the need for tax credits) and I care about housing and it being affordable, and think there should be way more social housing. And also better regulation of the private rental market. I also want some hope of being able to afford to buy my own home before I'm too old to get a mortgage! And want my kids to have the same chance. I also care deeply about the nhs and want it to be looked after (or at least saved?)

So. Any ideas? Or all they all full of bullshit? (I suspect the latter tbh)

That's all very well but there will be constituencies where voting labour will let in UKIP instead of tory or liberal.
This is one election when strategic voting may be vital.

I've done the test on 4 of the links on this thread and got green twice, labour once and lib dem once. I think I might vote green and see that we do have a candidate standing in our constituency ( not everyone does and we didn't last time).

I did think I was in a safe labour seat though but I've looked up the results from last time on Wikipedia, to find that there was a big swing from labour to lib dem and the conservatives such that labour only just scraped in.

Our MP is a high profile shadow minister who I think is quite unpopular, so anyone could win TBH. The area is traditionally labour and instinctively anti Tory (Northern mining town) but I also wouldn't bee surprised to see increasing UKIP support.
