| - time for a change - tax is too high - too many people doing sweet F.A. in public sector jobs, need massive jobs cuts that Labour won't stomach (since this is how unemployment has been managed) |

| A party which on the outset tells more truths than spin |
|
1 |
| A socialist agenda |
|
1 |
| A very good local MP who works well for the constituency |
|
1 |
| All have something to offer, but dont have much trust in any of them |
|
1 |
| All parties are just as bad as one another - however, I feel that as I have always voted Labour I will continue to do |
|
1 |
| All the parties are the same fundamentally. None of the leaders make me want to vote them into power. As environmental issues become more important to me my vote should go to the party which views these issues as important. |
|
1 |
| All the parties have policies I agree with and also those I do not, but the Conservatives have more that I agree with than the other two |
|
1 |
| Although I prefer what the Lib Dems say, I think Labour would be better at implementing policy. It's hard to take Lib Dems seriously as a national government. |
|
1 |
| Although my beliefs lie with the policies of another party I do not believe they will be able to undertake those policies without raising taxes and financially I can not afford this, a case of moral belief losing to personal gain |
|

| Although not exclusivly, this party seems to be closest to the Christian principles I try to maintain and uphold. |

| Angry at Labour over Iraq and civil liberties issues - Green vote would be a protest vote for me |
|
1 |
| Anti- Conservative till they see sense on Europe; anti-Labour, Lib Dem, UKIP and Veritas at all times. |
|
1 |
| Anything to get rid of Blair and his band of fools |
|
1 |
| As a kick up the pants for the major parties who talk about the problems which concern the bulk of people but actually do very little |
|
1 |
| As a lifelong labour supporter, I have become rather disillusioned with the new labour party over Iraq and spin in general. I have therefore decided to vote for the candidate who will best serve the constituency rather than voting along party lines. I do |
|
1 |
| As a protest vote. The Conservatives are not addressing the immigration problems that arise from bringing in foreign spouses & dependants - See Denmark's policies |
|
1 |
| BECAUSE THE OTHER TWO ARE NOT MOVING FORWARD WE NEED REAL CHANGE |
|
1 |
| Basically the Tories are for less interference in our lives than other parties. |
|
1 |
| Because Conservatives are far better than Labour |
|
1 |
| Because I always vote for the under dog. |
|
1 |
| Because I always vote for them |
|
1 |
| Because I do not trust Labour, Liberal Democrats or the Conservatives, also besides all the main issues like war and terrorism, the other issue is our environment. |
|
1 |
| Because I feel that Tony Blair and his government have no morals and are only interested in themselves. They are openly deceitful and corrupt. |
|
1 |
| Because I have always been a socialist and the Labour Party is the closest to my ideal. That is not to say that I have unreserved approval for this partcular Government! |
|
1 |
| Because I would never vote for labour, but think that the Lib Dem's could win this seat |
|
1 |
| Because I've been bought up to think that I am Labour, but I know very little about politics and therefore decide not to vote |
|
1 |
| Because although I feel Conservatives are not as strong as they should be I don't want Labour to win |
|
1 |
| Because i think they serve my & my family's interests the best |
|
1 |
| Because in my local area the Lib Dems wprk much harder than either of the other parties, and address and resolve many local issues |
|
1 |
| Because of Blairs stance on Iraq I feel I can no longer vote Labour. I would never vote Consevative so I am left with the Liberals |
|
1 |
| Because there seems to be no viable option other than Labour??? |
|
1 |
| Because they say they will tackle the most important thing to me, the rising immigration |
|
1 |
| Because they were the only party to came to see what work we did and supported us when an association that I have dealings with when earmarked for closure |
|
1 |
| Because they would remove us from the EU |
|
1 |
| Believe Labour will win election no matter who I vote for, would not consider voting Conservative, UKIP or BNP, would vote Green but they aren't likley to put a candidate forward in my constituency, Lib Dem vote is a token gesture given Labour majority in |
|

| Besides looking at the impact on the Country I feel it is vital to choose the person/party who will do the best for this area as the government seems to TOTALLY ignore the true North of the Country. Alan Beith has served this area well and HONESTLY since |

| Both Labour and the Tories are proven liars and very obnoxious people |
|
1 |
| Both labour and conservative are totally untrustworthy |

1 |
| Can't see Lib Dems running a government and can't face the Conservatives ever being in power again after their last disgrace. |

| Distrust Tony Blair. Oppose his reasons for war in Iraq. |

| Do not agree with manifesto points |

1 |
| Do not consider present government to be true labour |
|
1 |
| Do not trust Labour. Do not like Liberal policies |
|
1 |
| Do not want Tony Blair as PM for another term.I have been loyal Labour voter in past. He took Britain to war illegally in Iraq and made me ashamed of my country.Therefore IF I decide to vote at all this time it cannot be for Labour + do not want a Tory Go |

| Generally provides a counterweight to most of the policies of the mainstream Parties |

1 |
| Generally the broad view of the conservatives are nearer to my own feelings, but I have no faith in any of the current leadership of the party, and several of there policies are becoming weak, but this is true of most of the others, the only strong leader |

| I FEEL THE CONSERVATIVES WOULD TAKE CARE OF A WIDER RANGE OF PEOPLE THAN ANY OTHER |
|
1 |
| I agree with more of the Liberal Democrats policies than any of the other parties. |
|
1 |
| I always look at what each local candidate has to offer and vote for the person who will best please me. |
|
1 |
| I always vote S.N.P. but as I DO NOT want either Labour or Conservative in power might vote Lib.Dem. in the faint hope of keeping the other two out. |
|
1 |
| I am 'strong' Labour but would not be voting Labour in this election if it were not for the fact that my Labour MP opposed the war in Iraq and always stands up to be counted. |
|
1 |
| I am a Civil Servant working for the Dept. of Work and Pensions. labour are sacking 30000 workers from this department and the Tories have made a pledge to privatise the job I do. |
|
1 |
| I am a member of the Labour Party, but am loath to vote for the warmonger Blair |
|
1 |
| I am against the war, id cards and tuition fees. So are the Lib Dems, so I'm voitng for them. I'm not entirely sure what they're for. |
|
1 |
| I am british, want to stay british and want britain to stay british. Not be controlled by brussels or be over-run with immigrants |
|
1 |
| I am happy with the way the current government affects my life in general |
|
1 |
| I am not a huge fan of the Conservatives, but they are the only realistic alternative to the Labour party and I cannot stand Tony Blair and his cronies. |
|
1 |
| I am not happy with our present MP. |
|
1 |
| I am old Labour but this is a marginal seat. I prefer new Labour to the Tories. |
|
1 |
| I am unable to vote for Labour because of the war, but unfortunately the Conservatives also voted for the war, which leaves the Lib Dems - I am not sure, and extremely confused.The one thing I do know is that I will NOT vote for Tony Blair |
|
1 |
| I am very concerned about Europe. |
|
1 |
| I am voting for my local MP, Jeremy Corbyn, who is a good constituency MP, cares about local people, and has a record of standing up for what he believes in rather than just in it for personal ambition. |
|
1 |
| I believe I should go through the process of voting but wish to register a protest wthout supporting either of the two totally corrupted and undemocratic major parties or any other party I shore little in common with |
|
1 |
| I believe a change is needed from the labour/conservative cycle that has run this country down since the 1970s |
|
1 |
| I believe in independence for Scotland but not necessarily in the long term policies of the SNP. |
|
1 |
| I believe in some of there poilciys but unlikely to win but it lets the other poarties know that i am not happy with their policies |
|
1 |
| I believe that Scotland should be independant |
|
1 |
| I believe that the Liberals are best for this local area even though I don't believe that they are better for the country as a whole |
|
1 |
| I believe we badly need proportional representation in order to become a democracy. |
|
1 |
| I can't really say because I don't believe the spiel they say when it comes to election time. |
|
1 |
| I can't stand tony blair or any of the labour leadership. They came in on a lie (ie with conservative policies) and they've been lying ever since. |
|
1 |
| I cannot afford a labour goverment. This goverment is hellbent on pauperising everyone in the UK who is on limited income and I hope that I will not live to retirement age as I could not countenance a life living on the breadline and one which I would ha |
|
1 |
| I cannot vote for SNP as they (obviously) are not standing in my constituency. Of those that are, the Conservatives are by far the best option. |
|
1 |
| I couldn't vote conservative if they were the only party standing; the Lib Dems have no chance and kennedy is very weak as a leader, although I like their policies; my vote won't count anyway, as this area is solid Plaid Cymru |
|
1 |
| I do not agree with the philosophy of the conservatives |
|
1 |
| I do not believe in political parties: I always vote for the best candidate, without any consideration of which party he may or may not represent. |
|
1 |
| I do not consider the Labour party to have the best policies. I consider them to have the least bad policies and although I do not think they are doing a wonderful job, they are head and shoulders above the other parties. |
|
1 |
| I do not like large over bearing goverments such as Labout whom appear to believe they have the right to intervene and interfear in an individuals life. I am no fan of the nanny state, huge amount of pointless and meaningless red tape which is a trademark |
|
1 |
| I do not trust any party but vote regarding local issues and the parties response to those. |
|
1 |
| I do not want to see howard as prime minister. |
|
1 |
| I don't believe any of the parties will do any better than each other. I don't like all their policies but they seem to be the lesser of the three evils. |
|
1 |
| I don't like Tony Blair or Michael Howard. The Lib Dems are the best of a bad bunch. |
|
1 |
| I don't like michael howard |
|
1 |
| I don't like voting for extremists which is how I view the Labour and Tory parties. |
|
1 |
| I don't really trust either of the major parties and believe that the Lib Dems are sensible enought to ask for help if they need it and would perhaps listen more that anyone else to what the people really want. |
|
1 |
| I don't think there's a great deal to choose from at the moment, so it's a case of 'better the devil...' |
|
1 |
| I don't trust Conservative governments at all, Labour has lost a lot of my trust therefore maybe its time for someone else to have a go! |
|
1 |
| I don't trust either of the other parties |
|
1 |
| I dont feel I can trust the other parties I am a very disallusioned ex labour voter |
|
1 |
| I dont like socialist governments. |
|
1 |
| I dont think the other parties will sort immigration out as good exept the bnp |
|
1 |
| I dont want labout to get in or lib dems and I think conseratives should have a go but I am wary |
|
1 |
| I feel betrayed by TB over IRAQ Having voted labour last 2 times I am a reluctant transfer to Lib Dem as Labour have done supurbly with the economy. |
|
1 |
| I feel naturally inclined towards the Conservatives |
|
1 |
| I feel we have been dragged into the EU without any choice. I want to keep our currency, I want to keep our National pride, I want the UK to handle UK laws, I would like to see the UK being run by members of the UK, I feel all we fought for in WW1 & WW2 |
|
1 |
| I guess it's an hereditary thing - my family always voted conservative, and as a child, blue was my favourite colour. Nowadays I think that there is still a certain amount of that influencing my election choice, although I have to admit that the Conserva |
|
1 |
| I hate labour and the conservatives are the only party with a chance of beating them. However I do not support the lib dems so i do not prefer them to the conservatives |
|
1 |
| I have always been a union person, and feel that the Conservatives are totally against working people. |
|
1 |
| I have always voted Labour in the past but wish to register a protest vote because I am so angry that they took the decision to invade Iraq |
|
1 |
| I have always voted Labour, I do not blindly follow the party line and in fact strongly disagree with a lot of Tony Blair's ideas, especially the war on Iraq; however my local Labour MP Chris Ruane will get my vote as he is an honest and fair man who has |
|
1 |
| I have always voted Labour, but this time , although I will vote Labour again, it will be because none of the other parties offer much either. The devil you know is better than the devil you don't. as they say. |
|
1 |
| I have always voted for Conservative at General Elections and most other elections as well. |
|
1 |
| I have always voted for Labour and at the moment I dont think there policies are brilliant but woiuld rather have them leading the country than either of the others |
|
1 |
| I have always voted labour, but can't do that this time because of the awful way that monster blair has behaved. |
|
1 |
| I have belief in Labour anymore in doing the right thing for the people who vote for them. COnservatives have their good points, but not for people like myself, we are the minority in regard to the conservative party, when in fact we are really the majori |
|
1 |
| I have liked what they have to say, but my husband rubbishes them and says its all colly twaddle. I think to be honest they are all the same, make big promises before hand and then whoever gets in, it all goes out of the window. |
|
1 |
| I have lived under both labour & conservative governments,both useless in my opinion so why not give the lib dems a go? |
|
1 |
| I have more faith in the SNP to deliver what they promise |
|
1 |
| I have tended to vote Liberal Democrat in the past , and that would be my preference out of the three main parties, but I feel compelled to show support for an environmental agenda at this time. |
|
1 |
| I lean towards the Liberal Democrats but I am voting for them mainly because they have a strong, local candidate who has already done a great deal in support of this consituency |
|
1 |
| I like the local candidate. I don't like Labour or Tories. |
|
1 |
| I like to vote for the person most likely to do good work within my constituency. This is regardless of party. Bob Russell was the best for Colchester. But I have moved away from him. I have not been canvassed by any of the parties where I now am. |
|
1 |
| I live in Wales and agree that the other parties are more for England |
|
1 |
| I live in a 'one-party' Borough and therenis no way I'd vote for that party |
|
1 |
| I live in a predominently labour voting area, quite often there are few candidates other than labour to vote for, but at the moment I would vote for anyone but labour, which I think will be the conservative party |
|
1 |
| I live in a seat which is a three horse race, both Respect and Labour contain considerable numbers of gangsters and vote frauders. Normally I would vote tactically. |
|
1 |
| I live in a very safe labour seat. It is unlikely to make any difference who I vote for and I know this. Chances are I'll spoil my ballot paper in protest. I will not vote labour. the conservatives have no chance in my seat, lib dem comes second so I |
|
1 |
| I look at a cross section of all parties on all issues before deciding |
|
1 |
| I look at the benefits my local candidate is promising in my local area |
|
1 |
| I object to the main parties |
|
1 |
| I prefer Labour even though I strongly dislike Tony Blair |
|
1 |
| I prefer this party to any of the others |
|
1 |
| I really don't want another term under the labour government |
|
1 |
| I see myself as a working class man and feel that the labour party best represents my needs |
|
1 |
| I see politicians as employees of the people. If I dont feel the candidate is suitable for the job I wont vote for them. The candidate of choice should be honest, trustworthy and explain themselves clearly and concisely preferably without constantly refer |
|
1 |
| I tend to assess the local candidates to find the one who will probably best meet the local needs within the context of their parties national committments. |
|
1 |
| I think Britain would be better off out of the EEC and I want us to keep the pound and our own identity. I dont trust the French and Germans as they play by there own rules only when it suits. |
|
1 |
| I think Gorden Brown is doing well on the economy, i don't agree with all their policies though |
|
1 |
| I think Labour has been a disaster with worse to come and have to be removed |
|
1 |
| I think that I have a responsibility to vote but none of the current parties atacts me. |
|
1 |
| I think that all parties are as bad as each other so if I had to choose I dont think it would matter which one I chose so off the top of my head labour |
|
1 |
| I think that the Liberal Democrats should get a chance to show how they would run the country.They really cant do worse than Labour or Conservatives, but they may just do alot better! |
|
1 |
| I think that the labour and conservative party have got too complacent and are out of touch with both national and local issues, and would like to give another party a try. |
|
1 |
| I think the country needs a change and they should be given a chance to prove themselves. |
|
1 |
| I think we are in need of a change. |
|
1 |
| I used to vate labour, Tony Blair has let the country down on immigration, NHS, Iraq, pensions and I no longer trust him. I have never voted conservative and do intend to. I am voting Liberal because some of their policies I agree with even though they wi |
|
1 |
| I usually vote Labour but feel the need to protest. In addition, I feel that we need more liberalism, and a vote for the Lib Dems is my way of expressing this. |
|
1 |
| I usually vote labour but will vote lib dems because of the Iraq war. |
|
1 |
| I vote based on the strength of my local MP, his record and previous action within the community and on the more national level |
|
1 |
| I vote labour,as I would not trust a Tory since Margaret Thatcher tried to make this a two tier country .Just rich and poor. |
|
1 |
| I vote to retain an MP (NOT a party) that I regard very highly |
|
1 |
| I voted Labour because I am of working class and believe that Labour is the only political party that is more in tune with working class people |
|
1 |
| I want someone in power who works for the people to bring about the best for them not a mindless government who are out of touch with the general public |
|
1 |
| I want the existing MP to continue representing me |
|
1 |
| I want the labour government to know how angry I am at the way they have handled the iraq war and education. So I voting Lib dem, as I would never vot conservative, and I think that this is the best way to get the message across. |
|
1 |
| I want to get rid of Tony Blair |
|
1 |
| I want to see the Fox Hunting ban overturned and the Price of Houses stabilised as they are out of control(over priced) |
|
1 |
| I will not vote for labour under tony blair who, I believe, was misleading regarding the war in Iraq. |
|
1 |
| I will vote Labour because I think Tony Blair did the right thing`over Iraque' anyone in his position given evidence that he was given, would have had to make the same decision. Protect the country and the people. Take no chances of being to late!! |
|
1 |
| I will vote Labour because I think all their failings will come home to roost in a third term. If the Conservatives get in they will face all the problems stored up by the present Government and be unfairly judged. I want Labour to be in power when all th |

1 |
| I wish to make a stand on the Iraq war also our incumbent (Labour) politician is Not an asset to his party! |
|
1 |
| I would be better off finacially with the lib dems |
|
1 |
| I would be voting for the local Conservative candidate who I rate highly. This is a safe Tory constituency. |
|
1 |
| I would like Labour to be beaten in my local constituency, to send a message to the Prime Minister that his levels of taxation are too high, and that many people do not trust him over the war in Iraq. I am therefore voting for the second placed party in |

1 |
| I would like to have a little to do with the European market and limit imigration. |
|
1 |
| I would like to see an end to the situation where we have two dominant political parties in the UK as I would prefer a more consensus-based style of Government. |
|
1 |
| I would never consider voting Tory, I have voted Labour in the past but will not this time because of Tony Blair and Iraq, amongst other reasons, and the Lib Dems seem to have quite a reasonable stance on many important issues, so I will vote for them eve |
|
1 |
| I would never vote Labour. I don't like my local conservative candidate. I like the local lib dem candidate. I would only vote for someone I could talk to and relate to. I think that the lib dems offer an acceptable alternative |
|
1 |
| I would never vote conservative as i disagree with their policies and I am tired of the Labour govt and mistrust their leadership and honesty to the public |
|
1 |
| I would never vote for Tony Blair. I have distrusted him from the first day he was elected and events have done nothing to dissuade me from this view |
|
1 |
| I would not vote conservative and Labour have let me down so that only leaves me to vote Liberal Democrats. |
|
1 |
| I would rather vote for an independent candidate but one is not available in my constituency |
|
1 |
| I would vote Labour but I am scared of our relationship with the USA. The Lib Dems opposed the war, so hopefully they would oppose military action against Iran |
|
1 |
| I would vote Labour but I simply cannot bring myself to endorse Tony Blair's stance over the Iraq War. Plus, my MP is Tessa Jowell, whom I have no respect for whatsoever. For me, the war is the overriding issue of principle and overshadows anything the pr |
|
1 |
| I would vote for lib dems but I dont want the tories to get re-elected ever so I have to vote labour. However I admire Tony Blair greatly and think he makes the best statesman |
|
1 |
| I'd like to vote Tory but I can't endorse their support for ID cards and the pledge to legalise hunting with hounds. |
|
1 |
| I'd vote based upon the MP that would do the best job locally |
|
1 |
| I'm trying to choose which party will be best for the country, rather than teh one promising the most 'bread and circuses' |
|
1 |
| IT ADDRESSES ISSUES THAT NO OTHER PARTY ADDRESSES AND THAT I BELIEVE ARE VERY IMPORTANT IN THE LONG RUN |
|
1 |
| IT IS THE ONLY CHANCE TO GET TONY BLAIR OUT |
|
1 |
| I`m sick and tired of Labour and Tories,so Lib Dems are worth a try. |
|
1 |
| If I thought that a parties manifesto could be believed I would have more confidence in voting! But once in power they are all out for their own ends. |

| In this constituency we are currently represented in Parliament by LibDem Phil Willis. He has been, without doubt, the best representative that we have had since I have had any interest in politics, and I believe that we would be best served by retaining |

| Ineffective and embarrassing MP |

| Influance from family members |

| Integrity is all important, and when a Party feels the need to given an important role to unelected people to do its dirty work we are in serious trouble. It leads to serious lying and cover-up. It means we, the voters, no longer have a voice. That is ins |
|
1 |
| It doesn't matter who you vote for they all tell the same lies promise you the moon and stars and then nothing once elected |
|
1 |
| It is a safe seat with a large magority, if I voted for another party it would make no difference, |
|
1 |
| It is the lesser of evils |
|
1 |
| It is the only party that I feel that I could vote for and hold a clear conscience. |
|
1 |
| It is unlikely that the incumbent, Ian Gibson, will lose but the Labour party need a salutory shock and a reminder as to whose country this is. |
|
1 |
| It would have to be the party that addresses my issues particularly rather than just best policies |
|
1 |
| JUst think Labour are slightly better than anyother party |
|
1 |
| Just cannot vote for the 2 others |
|
1 |
| Just to get blair out, the tories have the best chance unfortunately. |
|
1 |
| Labour I used to be a borough councillor i was a labour concillor but fell out with the party crossed over to the tory's but now I do not like what they are doing |
|
1 |
| Labour always gets elected here |
|
1 |
| Labour and Conservative parties are liars. They say anything to get elected. When they are in power they do as they please. I want to give the Liberal Democrats a chance. |
|
1 |
| Labour candidate in my constituency is very weak and pro-Blair. Important that Blair and colleagues should be taught that they cannot take Labour support for granted - they no longer listen to party members, and the Government has lost its way as a result |
|
1 |
| Labour has helped me financially more in my circumstances. |
|
1 |
| Labour has not done anything particularly badly during their term in office and I see no reason for change - The conservatives have not done anything to persuade me that they would do things any better other than bad mouth the other parties. I'm not inter |
|
1 |
| Labour has the greatest commitment to social justice |
|
1 |
| Labour have done a terrible job. No other party could make as much of a mess! |
|
1 |
| Labour have made it very difficult for anyone who isn't on benefits to get ahead. My partner and I both work full time but cannot afford to buy a house whereas other people in my aera own their own house but only have one member of their family working. |
|
1 |
| Labour is not the party I grew up with, it has moved uncomfortably far to the right, but I've tried tactical voting in the past and it didn't work so I'll stick with them - for now. |
|
1 |
| Lack of a real party to represent my policial ideals - liberals may come close and therefore I'm inclinded to vote for them |
|
1 |
| Lack of decent alternatives |

1 |
| Leader + cabinet. How they come across and put their point across. |

1 |
| Lib Dem is the only party with a local candidate otherwise i would vote Labour |

1 |
| Lib Dems appear honest while the rest act like children in a school playground |

1 |
| Lifelong adherence to leftwing policies. |

1 |
| Local candidate with convincing track record. |

| Local representation of my views |

1 |
| MY FAMILY HAVE ALWAYS VOTED FOR LABOUR, I DONT REALLY KNOW MUCH ABOUT OTHER PARTIES |
|
1 |
| More affraid of what will happen if a new party comes in. Better the devil you know! |
|
1 |
| More help for pensioners |
|
1 |
| Most likely party to get rid of T Blair and present government |
|
1 |
| Must stay with Labour as the Conservative alternative is frightening....we had enough in the past of Maggie Thatcher and destroyed communities. Michael Howard was one of her henchman! Charles Kennedy is in cuckooland. |
|
1 |
| My over-riding desire is to get rid of this dishonest, dishonourable, dogmatic Government before it does any more damage to our institutions and traditions. I will vote for the party most likely to unseat them. |
|
1 |
| My sitting MP will in all probability get in again. However, he is an embarrassment. |
|
1 |
| My vote is for independance |
|
1 |
| My vote is purely a protest vote against Tony Blair and his cronies. I have never voted conservative before, but I have had enough of the current lot who ride rough shod over us all. They forget that they are there to serve us. |

| No can give real solutions |
|
1 |
| No one political party will be able to fulfil their ideas. I'd rather not vote for the top two. |
|
1 |
| No party currently reflects my views, id most likely vote UKIP as a protest vote, although they dont really reflect my views more than any other party either. |
|
1 |
| No trust in Labour and Tory supported war |
|
1 |
| None of the parties address all the issues I have. I am going with the party which is closest to what I would want from a government. |
|
1 |
| None of the parties completely co-incide with my thoughts but the Tories are the best of a bad lot. I would never vote Labour and Lib Dem would be a wasted vote. The other parties are not worth considering for government. |
|
1 |
| None of the parties think as I do |
|
1 |
| None of your business |
|
1 |
| Not happy with current Labout Party. Not happy with all policies of Lib Dems. Not happy with any Conservative policy. UKIP and BNP no way. So Lib Dems looking least of all evils at the moment. |
|
1 |
| Of the parties able to get in the conservatives have the least bad policies |
|
1 |
| Our MP is conservative and he is fighting an issue of police and judicial corruption on our behalf. |
|
1 |
| Our local Labour MP has done a good job |
|
1 |
| Our local MP is lib dem and works really hard for us, I want to keep him as my MP. I know the lib dems as a party have no chance of winning the election, but I want to keep a lib dem MP. |
|
1 |
| Our local MP just does what the PM says regardless of what her constituents want or what is good for the local area. |
|
1 |
| Our present M.P. (Conservative) has been extremely helpful (over and above the call of duty!) to my daughter, who needed help, advice and information. Therefore he gets my vote. Incidentally, my family and myself were always Labour voters over four genera |
|
1 |
| Overall Labour is doing OK - not brilliantly - but OK |
|
1 |
| Overall policy approach - current, historic and likely in the future |
|

| Party contains more members who support policies with which I agree |

| Party most aligned to my views and we need to get the current Govt out! |

| Probably the bets of a bad bunch |

1 |
| Protest vote |
|
1 |
| Protest vote against Labour |
|
1 |
| Protest vote against mainstream political parties none of which I trust. |
|
1 |
| Purely voting Conservative this time against Labour's policy and ban on hunting |
|
1 |
| Reaction to war in Iraq,Labour's private finance initiatives, Labour diktats to health service and education workers etc regarding standards. Policies made up as they go along to follow public opinion. etc etc etc |
|
1 |
| Sadly, Labour are currently the only party capable of running the country. |
|
1 |
| Simply due to devolution |
|
1 |
| So Blair loses |
|
1 |
| Some of their policies make sence, and from the last election, they were honest enought to admit if you want services improved sometimes you have to pay for them through taxation |
|
1 |
| Staunch labour voter, but do not agree with new labour policies - can find no alternative |
|
1 |
| Stay with you beliefs |
|
1 |
| THE POLICIES ARE SO SIMILAR IN MANY OF THE TOP ISSUES, THAT IT COMES DOWN TO WHO ONE TRUSTS THE MOST TO CARRY OUT THE POLICIES. I DO NOT TRUST TONY BLAIR AND HIS PUPPET CABINET, AND VAST PROBLEMS WITH THE ECONOMY, PENSIONS ETC., ARE JUST ROUND THE CORNER |
|
1 |
| THE TIME HAS COME FOR MORE CONCENSUS POLITICS IN BRITAIN - NO SINGLE PARTY HAS A MONOPOLY ON GOOD IDEAS! |
|
1 |
| THEY ARE THE ONLY PARTY WITH A REALISTIC DRUG POLICY APART FROM THE GREENS |
|
1 |
| THey are the only party who have 'green issues' and I do not believe the ploicies of other parties |
|
1 |
| Thats my buiness |
|
1 |
| The 'Labour' party is my party of conscience, but they are willing to sell this country 'down the river' to achieve the political dreams of a handful of lefty dreamers! Therefore my future political allegiance is to any party that will give Britain back t |
|
1 |
| The Conservative candidate is an excellent MP and works very hard for our benefit |
|
1 |
| The Conservatives are honest and the present government is all spin and lies |
|
1 |
| The Conservatives are only slightly different to Labour do not want to listen to the electorate |
|
1 |
| The Conservatives are the least bad option |
|
1 |
| The Conservatives have promised to save our local special schools (we could only save one ourselves). I feel so strongly about this that I am even prepared to compromise my other beliefs. |
|
1 |
| The Conservatives will win our seat, but it would be great to have one Green MP in parliament. |
|
1 |
| The Lib Deb representative in my area is doing a very good job, and I'd like to see him re-elected |
|
1 |
| The Welfare state is safer in thier hands |
|
1 |
| The ability to pay council tax |
|
1 |
| The ban on hunting was not democratic.Although I do not hunt I feel it was a spitefull vindictive act by a goverment against those they percieved had kept them out of power. |
|
1 |
| The candidate is the best to represent our constituency - regardless of party. |
|
1 |
| The conservative MP in our area is very good and although I will probably vote conservative I think the policies of the 3 main parties are rubbish as presented by them. |
|
1 |
| The conservative party holds views closer to mine than any other |
|
1 |
| The conservatives are the best chance available from a poor selection! |
|
1 |
| The deciding factor is often which one does the least harm |
|
1 |
| The immigration issue is a big one and whatever government takes over will have to get a rein in on this. My vote is to demonstrate my renewed national pride, it is to register my discomfort in the biggest way possible. |
|
1 |
| The lesser of two evils. The lib dems won't achieve anything at all. |
|
1 |
| The local MP is Lib Dem, and has been doing quite a good job. The Lib Dem majority is very small, and unless the Tories come up with a good reason to choose them, I'll go with the current guy. |
|
1 |
| The official labour candidate was chosen from an all female short list which was deemed necessary by the National Executive. The Labour AM for the area has decided to stand as an Independant |
|
1 |
| The one which give me more money |
|
1 |
| The other parties are worse than Labour although I do not agree completely with alot of the current Labour policies. |
|
1 |
| The other two have had a go at running the country and not done a very good job of it ,so let somebody else have a go |
|
1 |
| The other two main parties are saying what the public wants to hear. I don't trust either of them. Therefoer I have no choice but to vote Lib/Dem |
|
1 |
| The party I want to vote for is not putting up a candidate in my constituency |
|
1 |
| The party I would probably support has not put a candidate forward in my constituency. |
|
1 |
| The party I would vote vote is not standing in my region therefore I will vote UKIP as the next best thing. |
|
1 |
| The party OVERALL most closely represents my views. |
|
1 |
| The party has the most trustworthy politicians |
|
1 |
| The party with the least worst policies/attitudes |
|
1 |
| The present party i am not happy with a lot of there promises which have failed to happen so think someone else decerves a chance |
|
1 |
| The reasond are personal and private. However, if Gordon Brown were leader, I would be able to respond that he is the best leader. |
|
1 |
| The sitting MP is an honest man, unlike some of the Chanty Wrastlers that are on offer |
|
1 |
| The trust worthyness of the party |
|
1 |
| Their policies are in line with what I feel is best for the country and fair for the people living in that country. |
|
1 |
| There are a few things that I agree with more than the others |
|
1 |
| There are no real opposition parties but I am very unhappy with current labour party |
|
1 |
| There are only 5 parties in my constituentcy and I will not vote for 4 of them, so that leaves only UKIP! |
|
1 |
| There is good and bad in all parties although my opinion of politicians is very low ! I am torn between voting labour to stop conservatives or liberal to give them a try. |
|
1 |
| There is no Green Party candidate in my ward. |
|
1 |
| There is not a Green candidate in my constituency. The Liberal Democrat has held the seat for many years and has consistently done the job well. |
|
1 |
| They appear to be the most proactive/positive on gay rights. |
|
1 |
| They are against staying in the EU |
|
1 |
| They are eco-friendly. However, I don't know what their specific policies are. |
|
1 |
| They are no worse than the rest |
|
1 |
| They are the best of a bad bunch. |
|
1 |
| They are the least worst option, ie fewer obnoxious policies than the others, but I don't agree with some of their other policies. For instance, I really want a pro-Europe party which will take the utilities and transport back into public ownership, and r |
|
1 |
| They are the only ones I think I can trust |
|
1 |
| They have a manifesto that I feel more comfortable with. |
|
1 |
| They have ideas for Local Income Tax to replace Council tax. |
|
1 |
| They have stronger language policies than the other parties. |
|
1 |
| They seem to want Britain to be British |
|
1 |
| They were NOT in favour of invading Iraq. |
|
1 |
| They will handle the council tax alot better |
|
1 |
| They will keep the Education Maintenance Allowance, I dislike the leader less than that of the opposition |
|
1 |
| They will reduce/abandon tuition fees |
|
1 |
| They would definately stop asylum-seekers. |
|
1 |
| They've never had a term in office so why not give them a try!! |
|
1 |
| Think they are slightly more likely to be a change for the better |
|
1 |
| This Government must be got rid of and the conservatives need to WAKE UP if they are to govern efectivly and we need to get out of Europe. |
|
1 |
| This country could do with another party in charge. |
|
1 |
| This has always been a Liberal stronghold. We don't always have a candidate for my 2nd choice which is Labour |
|
1 |
| This is what my parents have brought me choose, as they are labours votees. |
|
1 |
| This party has the best balanced policies and views that meet with my own needs |
|
1 |
| This party is more honest about its policies. |
|
1 |
| Time for a change but not the Conservatives |
|
1 |
| To be truthful, until politicians generally get their act together, I will continue to be sceptical about so-called 'democracy' in this country and all that suggests. Today, the Lib-dems suggest they are the most credible - but then, they are not likely t |
|
1 |
| To emphasise that the main parties must take the strongest possible action over immigration & asylum |
|

| To get Labour out! |
|
1 |
| To give them a chance as other parties do not keep to their promises |
|
1 |
| To keep the MP in office |
|
1 |
| To keep the conservatives out. |
|
1 |
| Tony Blair has consistently lied to the country and cannot be trusted |
|
1 |
| Totally disillusioned with the major parties, all they are really interested in is preserving the status quo and looking after their own narrow self interests. |
|
1 |
| UKIp is the only anti-Europe party. The Tory position on this is very weak. |
|
1 |
| Under Tony Blair Labour is the least worst party. Without him they woyuld be the best party. |
|
1 |
| Unhappy with labour government, don't agree with many of the other parties policies. Dont think any government can make the radical changes that are needed, in the time they would have. Feel Conservatives would try and change things the most from all the |

1 |
| Well Blair has done quite a good job overall since being in power, it has taken time to correct what the tories made a mess off & Im worried should the tories come back in power it will go back to sqaure one again. |
|
1 |
| Well the conservatives made a complete mess of everything when in power, labour came in to try and tidy it up but haven't succeeded just made unrealistic promises. They should move over and let the lib dems have a go surely they can't do any worse! |
|
1 |
| Well, I said other reasons because it cannot be attributed to just one specific reason. I would say i'm influenced by... I know I will not vote conservative, they've already had a good go at it, I am fairly sure I wqill stick with Labour. My reasons for |
|
1 |
| What the party has managed to do for the country in the past. This will carry on in the future. |
|
1 |
| Which party leader is the most charismatic, don't like slimy men - I don't feel that I can trust them |
|
1 |
| While I am yet to be convinced that Labour has earned my vote I feel that they deserve one final chance. The Tories had 18 years and didn't get it right, so maybe another term for Labour will see things turn out better. |
|
1 |
| Will not vote Labour, I don't like Lib Dem policies and am not sure of Tories at the moment so it seems the best alternative at moment. |
|
1 |
| Will vote to get rid of Blair |
|
1 |
| Withdraw from the EU as far as is possible |
|
1 |
| all parties end up the same |
|
1 |
| although they have no chance of winning, the incoming government whoever they may be need to be aware that the working public are unhappy with the way they say one thing and then do something completely different |
|
1 |
| always voted that way |
|
1 |
| always voted the same |
|
1 |
| anythings better than the parties which have been in power before. |
|
1 |
| as a life long labour voter who cannot vote for them this time, i need to work out the best use of my negative vote - not same as tactical vote |
|
1 |
| as a whole labour I feel have fullfilled their policies & people are better off in general after the Conservative years |
|
1 |
| at the end of the day they are all the same |
|
1 |
| because |
|
1 |
| because I am very angry at what is happing to our country and the unfareness of the way british are treated. To top it all off we are paying to watch our country be run down. And the party I have chosen is not even allowed to speek. |
|
1 |
| because i am sick to death of politics and i think UKIP stands for who i am i am a English man not a bloody European |
|
1 |
| because i cant make my mind up |
|
1 |
| because i have to vote for some one |
|
1 |
| because i think labour are doing a better job than any other party would do |
|
1 |
| because i'm fed up with the general trend of official management and government policy-in power all political parties are begining to act alike.... |
|
1 |
| because the vote has to go somewhere |
|
1 |

|
1 |
| i PREFER TO VOTE FOR THE PERSON, NOT THE PARTY. |
|
1 |
| i am pro-euro and pro-european, and think the lib-dems are best bet for this. Tory policies are ok but their anti-EU stance is offputting. |
|
1 |
| i believe they will do thier best to keep the asylum seekers to a minimum where as the others dont care who they let in. |
|
1 |
| i can never ever forget the conservatives what they did whilst in office,the were responsible for the state of the health service and has it is to day ie mrsa and all the managers i say that because i worked has a nurse for 30 years. |
|
1 |
| i do not like who is isn power today so i would pick the best of the others |
|
1 |
| i do not trust the other parties |
|
1 |
| i dont agree with labours stance on iraq, the lib dems were the only ones listening to the public, the conservatives are useless and definatly will not get my vote - i lost my home in the 80's(repossesed) due to them |
|
1 |
| i dont know much about any of the parties but feel that the lib.dems. wud appeal to me most, policy wise |
|
1 |
| i dont think any other partys would be able to keep to what they say they will do keep labour in as they can keep working for the people as they have done so far. if a new party was to go in they would have to start from scratch an waste time! |
|
1 |
| i feel that the voters can trust thelib dems more than the other parties |
|
1 |
| i feel they have done a fairly good job so fair |
|
1 |
| i have aways voted for this party |
|
1 |
| i have been a labour voter for 30 yrs but i cannot vote labour in this election so my next best option is liberal democrat |
|
1 |
| i have no reasons |
|
1 |
| i like liberal democrats, and would like both liberal democrats and labour to become one party. I will be horified if Conservatives win the election and feel very insecure about my standard of living and future |
|
1 |
| i like our local member of parliament |
|
1 |
| i like some of their polices better than the others they woukd suit my family situation a little better |
|

|
1 |
| i live in a labour constituency |
|
1 |
| i prefere labour but will never vote for new labour again as they only seem intrested in vote winning gimmicks |

| i will never vote labour under tony blair |
|
1 |
| i will vote for which ever party canvasses at my door and has the best policies for me and my family |
|
1 |
| i would not voye conservative because of the way they decemated nhs , coal industry, poll tax and put my husband and 3000 of his colleugues in the civil service on the dole by closing the weapons section of the mod navy here in wales and left the area wit |
|
1 |
| i would rather vote liberal because i hate labour and conservative and dont really know the other parties well enough |
|
1 |
| i would vote conservative because i would like to see what they can do in power, they can't do worse than the present government and i don't like Labour or Tony Blair. |
|
1 |
| i wouldnt vote for anyone |
|
1 |
| if the leader was more convincing |
|
1 |
| if they could stop anymore asylum seekers getting into Britain |
|
1 |
| im a special constable and I want a fairer way of recognition-CSO,s who get 16k a year.Special police constables get nothing.I will vote for the party that fights for pay for Specials. |
|
1 |
| iraq and top up fees |
|
1 |
| issues |
|
1 |
| it is the only party that stood up against the iraq war, it has the same 'real labour' policys that i agree with, the leader is a man of priniciples. i would have voted labouer if it wasnt for the war sinc labour run through my blood |
|
1 |
| it seems the best but no other party has inspired me |
|
1 |
| it tends to be a combinations of reasons |
|
1 |
| its a question of trying to decide which party is the least worst |
|
1 |
| its the best of a bad lot |
|
1 |
| its time to change |
|
1 |
| jjj |
|
1 |
| just from what i have heared on the telly, they seem to be offering a better goverment |
|
1 |
| just other reasons |
|
1 |
| just think they are the best of whats avalible |
|
1 |
| labour and conservatives have not made me want to vaote for them, so I would like to see how the liberals would run the country |
|
1 |
| labour appear to have lost the initiative with many policies...maybe a change is for the best |
|
1 |
| labour deserve just one more chance to prove themselves |
|
1 |
| labour has let britain down |
|
1 |
| labour is for working class people |
|
1 |
| labour is hitting middle income earner families even though I am a union member and have voted labour since I was 18 |
|
1 |
| labour lied over iraq |
|
1 |
| labour no longer represent the working class, they arrogantly take for granted the working class vote and give little in return to the class of society that created the party. |
|
1 |
| labour& conservitive have give some one else a try . |
|
1 |
| lack of trust in Tony Blair Illegal war - unacceptable |

|
1 |
| my m p is excellent tis not her fault tony blair is the leader |

|
1 |
| the country can't stand another 4 years of labour & I don't think the lib dem has enough people to run the country on its own so it will have to be cons |

|
1 |
| the lib Dems are very active in my constituency and since they have taken control of Birmingham city council, things are getting done. |
|
1 |
| the lib. dem. m.p. is the only one that is ever seen between elections doing anything for local people. All the others only come out at election time. I vote for my area not the country. |

|
1 |
| they are the party that feel the same way about Europe as I do. |
|
1 |
| they were better than labour |
|
1 |
| they've done fairlyw ell up until now and I think we would risk losing asll the things that they've achieved if we were to change government as the new government would make it their first concern to make changes whether required or not. |
