| A combination of both Scottish and British reasons |
|
1 |
| A roughly equal mix of UK and Scottish issues |
|
1 |
| Actually I voted mostly according to what's going on in the world as a whole and by thinking about how I want Scotland to work in the future, bearing in mind our global responsibilities. So yes, Britain's foreign policy and defence decisions were obviousl |
|
1 |
| Always vote Tory |
|
1 |
| An Overall Mix of issues |
|
1 |
| Because it is the way I have voted since I became of age to vote |
|
1 |
| Because it isn't a real party |
|
1 |
| Candidates who are aware of what is going on in Scotland and Britain but also our place in the world as a whole. |
|
1 |
| Dawn raids. Trident |
|
1 |
| Environmental concerns are global |
|
1 |
| Equally for what is going on in Scotland and on specific issues, some of which are local but under the Executive's, rather than the local council's remit. |
|
1 |
| Exclusively according to what was going on in Scotland. Reserved matters are irrelevant in elections for devolved government |
|
1 |
| Fed up with Labour and Lib Dems constantly attacking sporting estates in Scotland. They should have listened to the practitioners not the pressure groups |
|
1 |
| For a truly democratic say in the future of Scotland |
|
1 |
| How I see govenment decisions effecting my and neighbours lives. |
|
1 |
| I agreed with its policies and manifesto commitments |
|
1 |
| I always vote Conservative regardless of what is going on |
|
1 |
| I always vote Labour |
|
1 |
| I always vote conservative |
|
1 |
| I am a member of that party. |
|
1 |
| I believe that the UK is a spent force and that the only way that w can have a decent society, like those I have found on the Continent, is by having an independant Scotland |
|
1 |
| I believe the war in Iraq brought an increased risk of terrorism and now feel Scotland would be better seperate from a warmongering British nation. |
|
1 |
| I cannot agree with the Nationaslists |
|
1 |
| I felt I had to vote this way to try to keep SNP out. |
|
1 |
| I felt that the people of Scotland have the right to say whether or not they wanted independence and that therfore no party had the right to oppose a referendum |
|
1 |
| I had a quick look online at the main parties manifestos and decided from there. |
|
1 |
| I thought abuot what issues effect me |
|
1 |
| I voted Conservative because I consider they are the best party. |
|
1 |
| I voted SNP as I believe both that it's the best party to ensure Scotland becomes independant, and because Alex Salmond is one of the few politicians whom I believe to be truly honourable. |
|
1 |
| I voted for the SNP party as I think we need fresh blood in Scottish politics and I wanted to give the SNP a chance to prove themselves. I am sick of Labour's endless taxes and handouts to those who can work but choose not to. I am disgusted that crime ha |
|
1 |
| I voted for the candidate who was most likely to address issues that are important to me |
|
1 |
| I voted on which party would be best for Scotland as a whole and then for the candidate who would best represent the needs of the constituency that I live in. |
|
1 |
| I wanted to try to oust the current holder of the post. |
|
1 |
| I wouldn't vote for any other Party |
|
1 |
| It is my preferred party |
|
1 |
| Labour/SDP has lost direction and are now doing nothing - Badly |
|
1 |
| Like income tax for local taxation, like more powers for Scotland and don't like some of current empahsis in LP |
|
1 |
| Moral/political principles, independent of events and national boundries. |
|
1 |
| Mostly for what I believe affects me personally. |
|
1 |
| My belief in an independent Scotland. |
|
1 |
| My feelings about polititians as a whole |
|
1 |
| My own needs |
|
1 |
| My own personal choice but Labour have outrun their time |
|
1 |
| Tactical vote against the SNP |
|
1 |
| The first two choices do not give me much of an option. I voted the way I did for a combination of both of these reasons, no more or less. The issues are equal. |
|
1 |
| This is a bad-worded Q. (a)I want to say yes to the first two options, and (b)because Scotland is an integral region of the UK you cannot split the options in the way this Q does. |
|
1 |
| Thought they would shake up Labour - refuse to vote Lavour this time because of the too severe smoking ban, and Gordon Browns pension take and 2 week bin collections due to his land fill tax |
|
1 |
| Vote determined by who was best on environmental issues |
|
1 |
| Want independence |
|
1 |
| Wanted Labour out. |
|
1 |
| We needed a change from not listening labour |
|
1 |
| While I consider Scotalnd and local isasues I am involved in, I feel the national (british sense) is very important to consider as Scottish Political parties are strongly influenced by British Political Parties |
|
1 |
| a balance between what has been happening in Britain as a whole and my feelings about the performance of the previous ruling coalition |
|
1 |
| according to what was going on locally in north lanarkshire |
|
1 |
| as this caused problems for labour and snp |
|
1 |
| because I fell my MSP does a lot for this area therefore deserves another term |
|
1 |
| cos i hate the snp cos af far as im concerned the snp stand for scottish nazi party |
|
1 |
| for independance. So that a real socialist party can represent me in an independant scotland. Labour is not socialist nor is it democratic |
|
1 |
| going to change council tax |
|
1 |
| i always vote labour |
|
1 |
| iraq |
|
1 |
| mostly because of what was going on in Scotland AND Britain |
|
1 |
| the best policies |
|
1 |
| two main reasons were the war in iraq, our present relationship with the bush administartion and the US and the decision to renew trident- all which meant i could not vote for labour. |
