I have voted since I was 18. Always feeling that my vote was worth something. That the person and party I voted for was worth something.
So now who do I vote for?
I am a little left if centre but don't want to vote labour. The Eds are not for me, they seem to miss the issues, chase headlines and are having a major knee jerk reaction to Nigel farage.
I believe in being part of Europe (am I a dying breed?) And fairness and equality but Clegg is an arse.
I think the NHS is a corner stone of our country. That the environment matters (and scientists tend to be more accurate than politicians here). That people should earn their place but that not everyone can. So I can't vote Tory.
That despite immigration being undeniably an issue for many, that the racism, bigotry, extreme right wing views of ukip mean I would rather drink battery acid than vote for them.
Greens are slightly further left wing than me but to be honest I don't know much about them. Just that, from a purely selfish point of view, dh and I have good salaries and much as we believe in social justice would like to feel some financial benefit from our work.
So I'm fucked aren't I. I have know idea who to vote for. Just feel depressed and for the first time worried about politics.
