| All I felt at the time was that if other parties got into the office then they are going to make a mess on all sorts of issues again especially Tory party. |
|
1 |
| Although I am a Labour supporter, my Labour MP voted in favour of the Iraq war. So I voted Green as a protest vote, especially as he stood little chance of losing. |

| Apathy |
|
1 |
| As a protest against an undemocratic voting system and illegal immigration. It is undemocratic to be gouverned by a party that only got 33 per cent of the vote. If proportional representation was the norm in the UK there would be a better mix of parties |
|
1 |
| As a safe labour seat we had few candidates to choose from. Only conservative or lib. dem stood any chance. |
|
1 |
| As a working class person and feel the Labour Party is the only real party for working class people. Though believe Blair has forgotten all about the Labour party and to what it stood for. |
|
1 |
| As in my local area lib dems held the seat, Labour was not my choice of leadership so I voted conservative |
|
1 |
| As the election turned into a slagging match between the major parties I chose the only party who campaigned on issues rather than personalities. |
|
1 |
| At the time of the election i thought the party for which i voted was the right choice of a poor bunch. |
|
1 |
| Based on past performance as a party |
|
1 |
| Basically anyone can take-over the running of govt nowadays. I think although laughable, the Lib Dems have got as much chance of getting things right if they were unexpectedly elected last week. |
|
1 |
| Because I don't agree with the policies of the present government, however, I also don't thing that the conservative party is right for government at the moment either! |
|

| Because I felt I had to |
|
1 |
| Because I have always been a committed socialist and although I think this particular government has been pretty dire, I do not think any other party would be any better for this country. |
|
1 |
| Because I like the MP and what she stands for in the Labour Government. |
|
1 |
| Because I think Blair and Brown are going to penalise me and my family for getting off benefits and WORKING for what we have, instead of just sitting on our backsides and holding our hands out 'for more' |

| I believe that one should vote fopr the person who is most likely to work well for the constituency he stans for. One should not vote for a party. |

1 |
| I can't abide the Labour party, and the Liberal Democrats are a joke. They only receive votes in my opinion because the press have built up a hatred of the Tories, and Labour have failed. Few have any clue what they stand for! |

|
1 |
| I researched my MP and found that he had actually not really done much in parliament for the local community. I also found he had voted in opposition to values I hold dear. I therefore voted for the one candidate whos ideals tallied with my own. |
|
1 |
| I spolit ballot because it registers that I voted the duty of every citizen who lives in a democracy. To not do that duty is to acknowledge you have no stake in democracy. |

| I strongly believe Britain should not be part of the new European empire, and u.k.i.p is the only party that represents this view. |
|
1 |
| I think all polititions are theiving liers who are in it for them selves so I voted for the simple reason to get UK out of europe |
|
1 |
| I think all the three main parties are lying rubbish but Labour are the worst liers, lib-dem are a waste of space so that left Conservative, who I slightly prefer for their low tax ideas. |

|
1 |
| I took into account the quality of the candidates standing and on balance decided to vote for an individual because of his merits despite the fact I do not particularly favour his party. |
|
1 |
| I vote based on the strength of my local MP who is very active in the community and gets a lot done and i feel this is more directly beneficial to myself and the people around me. |
|
1 |
| I voted Conservative because they are fundamentally the party of least govt |
|
1 |
| I voted Labour because I support the views of my local MP Jeremy Corbyn and I wanted him to be re-elected - also he is a good constituency MP - but if I had been in the constituency of a Blairite MP I would probably have voted Lib Dem. |
|
1 |
| I voted Labour because they havn't done to bad a job, also I may have voted Lib dem as some of their policies sounded good but they had no chance of winning and no experience leading a country. I was sick of michael howard slagging of all the other partie |

|
1 |
| I wanted the ppc for labour to continue the good work the outgoing mp had done in the area |
|
1 |
| I wanted to express my discontent with Labours failure to take note of people's opinions, and I knew in doing so it wouldn't make any difference in the local constituency. |
|
1 |
| I wanted to get rid of this awful New Labour Govt and voted for the party with the best chance of achieving this |
|
1 |
| I wanted to let the government know that I though they had been poor in respect of ordinary people for the last 5 years |
|
1 |

1 |
| I went to an election forum and decided who I thought was the best candidate. |
|
1 |
| I will never vote for Blair whilst he remains leader of the labour party |
|
1 |
| I would NEVER vote conservative - they are out for themselves - the poor to get poorer and the rich to get richer. Their views and values do not represent modern Britain. |
|
1 |
| I would have voted Labour, but my conscience would not let me vote for a party headed by, in my strong opinion, a war criminal. This opinion will never change. |
|
1 |
| I would have voted Liberal but for 2 reasons. I was not impressed with their 3rd time lucky candidate and UKIP is the only party who appears not to look at Europe with happy clappy tinted spectacles. |
|
1 |
| I would have voted for the Senior Citizens' Party but they did not field a candidate in this constituency |
|
1 |
| I would not vote conservative due to the likley re-introduction of fox hunting, & labour because of their taxation policy |
|
1 |
| I would not vote for Labour while Tony Blair is leader nor while the local MP and his council leading brother, who is destroying this community, are in power. |
|
1 |
| I would support Labour all the time |
|
1 |
| I'm happy with my MP rather than the party itself |
|
1 |
| I'm happy with the way the country is being run at the moment, and felt Labour deserved another chance - I hope they follow through with their promises. |
|
1 |
| I've voted Labour all my life in general elections, my local MP Chris Ruane (Vale of Clwyd)is excellent so I voted for him again; I do not agree with all the policies of Mr Blair but I believe that he believes that he is doing right by the country. I have |
|
1 |
| If liked some of the ideas the Lib Dems had, and I have been disappointed with Labour over the last 5 years |
|
1 |
| In general they have done well so better the devil you know |
|
1 |
| In my opinion - Conservatives seemed to be more concerned with attacking the Labour Leadership and trying to scare people with the 'are you thinking what we are thinking?' nonsense. |
|
1 |
| In my opinion the two main parties are no better than each other and not worth a vote |
|

|
1 |
| Iraq war/Tony Blair |
|
1 |
| It had SOME policies I was interested in |
|
1 |
| It was a wake up call to the mainstream parties highlighting the fact that I am fed up of all the foreigners in the country |
|
1 |
| It was against using the Euro. |
|
1 |
| It was definately time for change and the conservatives were the only ones that would probably have done better. Labour were supposed to be for the working people but not any more and recently all the lies and the promises which are still to be kept |
|
1 |
| It was the best of a bad group of choices, would rather have voted Green but there was no candidate |
|
1 |
| It was the best of the bunch but I don't agree with all the policies they put forward. |
|
1 |
| It was the best out of a poor choice of representatives for government if I went conservative I risked the health service ruined again and education shot if I went Lib Dem I risked being punished if I managed to do well and get a high paid job when I qual |
|
1 |
| Ithoght that though the conservatives were only on a par with the other paties, they would handle education , immigration and asylum seekers better. |
|
1 |
| Ithought Dr Philis Starkey deserved to keep her seat |
|
1 |
| Its the only REAL WELSH party |
|
1 |
| Iv always been labour |
|
1 |
| Just did not want to vote for the others |
|
1 |
| Lab And Conservative were not an option |
|
1 |
| Labour and Conservatives stand for the status quo. Lib Dems stand for modernisation of the way the country is run. |
|
1 |
| Labour has a rubbish immigration policy but I still couldn't bare to have the tories and I couldn't find it in my heart to vote BNP |
|
1 |
| Labour has the only workable polices for distribution of wealth. But there are others reasons, which are personal, and I prefer not to discuss here |
|
1 |
| Labour imposed a female candidate on this constiuency wanted a change of MP |
|
1 |
| Labour is the only party that I think would look after the NHS |
|
1 |
| Labour proven good at handling the economy, all other things come from that |
|
1 |
| Least worst policies |

1 |
| Lesser of three evils |
|
1 |
| Lesser of two evils |
|
1 |
| Lib Dem stronghold in my area, no chance other parties would come close! |
|
1 |
| Lib Dem was the only party with a candidate who lived locally |
|
1 |
| Lib Democrats consistently spoke up against the war in Iraq. I could NOT vote for Mr Blair in my conscience because of the terrible things he condoned in Iraq and his consistently arrogant denial of any misjudgement of his decision-making in this aggressi |
|
1 |
| Lib Dems voted against the war, and seemed more sincere |
|
1 |
| Lib dems were the party I felt could most be trusted to keep their campaign promises, and were the best option of a bad bunch. |
|
1 |
| Liberal candidate has had the post for years and done very little - time for a change, I'd hoped! |

| Local Candidate was Best |
|
1 |
| Local MP has always done well for us |

| Local candidate the best. |

1 |
| MY local MP is lib dem and was voted in at the last election and has done an excellent job for my area during that time.Voted for him personally rather than the party he represents. |
|
1 |
| Matter of consience, I am totaly against the war in Iraq, as I was and so was the labour movement on Viet Nam and lots of other wars, I am the same, the labour party is now where the conservetive party was. I am not in favour of any of the left wing socia |

| My M P is very good its not her fault Tony Blair isn the Leader |
|
1 |
| My local Libdem is worth voting for. |
|
1 |
| My preferred party did not have a candidate standing in my constituency. I voted for the second best. |
|
1 |
| My vote swings from party to party depending upon the situation at the time of an election |
|
1 |
| Nearest to my political views |
|
1 |
| Neither Labour or Conservative have kept any of their promises. There has been too much in-fighting between the 2 major Parties, they seemed to find more satisfaction in scoring points off each other than actually getting on with the job, so thought it |
|
1 |
| No other real option no real competition |
|
1 |
| No point voting in my constituency due to large Conservative majority |
|
1 |
| No trust in the PM |
|
1 |
| None of the parties fared well in electioneering and policies are few and far between - or at least it appeared so amongst the pesonal attacks and squabbles |
|
1 |
| Normally I vote tactically Lib Dem, as they have the best chance of defeating the tory MP locally. This time the LD sttod little chance either and so I wanted to record a (albeit wasted) Labour vote |
|
1 |
| Nothing specific, just a general decision based on several factors. These included : lack of trust in Tony Blair, long-term dislike of the Tory party, dislike of the undemocratic, dictatorial regime being run by Tony Blair. |
|
1 |
| On a number of life related issues, conservative polices are not as lax as labour's or the liberal democrat's. |
|
1 |
| One of the few parties who want to take the UK out of Eutrope. |
|
1 |
| Only party to give a toss about the environment and there was no 'None of the above' option. |
|
1 |
| Only party to not jump on the iraq band wagon and insist on waiting till the weapons inspectiors had chance to report back to UN before Bush decided to unilateral action with Blairs assistance. |

| Our Labour MP was certain to be re-elected in Barrow-in-Furness, but I wanted to register my dissatisfaction with him and his party. |
|
1 |
| Our Liberal Democrat candidate has represented us for some years and has been excellent, I voted for the man, not the party. |
|
1 |
| Our Local MP |
|
1 |
| Our M P is very interested in different things in our villiage and willing to help. |
|
1 |
| Our MP, Frank Cook, has shown little interest in the constituency since the last election, and had said he would retire. Then, suddenly there he was on the ballot paper. I did not want to vote for him on principle, so picked UKIP as a protest vote against |
|
1 |
| Our local MP (conservative) is fighting a case of police and judicial corruption for us. |
|
1 |
| Our local MP has tried to help with some personal issues and we are a strong Conservative area anyway, even though I do not like their leader or many policies. |
|
1 |
| Overall the conservatives offered a better leader, a better grasp of economics and an honest leader |

| Perhaps it's time for another party, other than Labour or Conservatives |

| Preferred party did not have a local representative. Would not be happy with someone that did not have local knowledge. |

| Send msg to Tony Blair |
|
1 |
| Some better policies, and a better leader combined |
|
1 |
| Some of the policies I agreed with over other parties |
|
1 |
| Specific issues which effect me, i.e. increased maternity leave. |
|
1 |
| Specifically related to local issues. |
|
1 |
| Staunch Conservative voter and no intentions of changing |
|
1 |
| Strong support for an excellent local MP |
|
1 |
| THe Liberal Democrats believe in some kind of proportional representation - a fairer electoral system - as I do. |

| THere bwas a good chance that the Conservatives would win in my constituency and thus cut down the Labour majority i the HOuse |

| Tax credits |
|
1 |
| Thats how my family vote - plus better policies for me |
|
1 |
| The Conservatives are in complete melt down - no policies they could carry through in power. |
|
1 |
| The Conservatives are the only party truly standing up for the English. The English want their nation back. |
|
1 |
| The Conservatives promised to keep our local special schools open. |
|
1 |
| The Green party did not stand in my constituency. |
|
1 |
| The Iraq War |
|
1 |
| The Labour Party has abandoned its basic principles |
|
1 |
| The Labour candidate for my area is a new person replacing Mr.Forster for Wear Valley, the woman that was voted in was not my choice, she does not belong to this area, she does not know anything about the North East, and she does not live in the area, why |
|
1 |
| The Labour candidate was very good, compared to the others standing. Really didn't want to vote for Blair though. |
|
1 |
| The Lib Dems work extremely hard in my local area and have achieved much. The Labour and Conservative Candidates are only ever around here at election times. I also strongly dislike the 'backbiting' conducted by the 2 main parties in their electioneering. |
|
1 |
| The Lib. Dems. are the only ones to do anything in this area, I haven't seen anyone from the other parties since the last election. |
|
1 |
| The apparent merits of the individual candidate |
|
1 |
| The area in which I live has a 16% asian population which is causeing many problems including child sex rings and drug dealing |
|
1 |
| The benefits we have had through Labour have outweighed any other party |
|
1 |
| The best of a poor choice The constituency MP who in my area is very good in terms of looking after local affairs rather than being more interested in sucking up to the leadership to promote themselves in their careers as most MPs do. I would still like |
|
1 |
| The candidate had been an excellent MP. Quite why this outweighed his party voting for killing tens of thousands of people in Iraq I'm not quite sure. |
|
1 |
| The candidate had local issues in their interest, rather than the whipped view of the Labour candidate. |
|
1 |
| The candidiate was the most Pro-Life of the tow that could win and the other two would not talk to me. I cannot afford a house because of Labour. I also voted Conservative as they were the only party to support wholeheartedly freedom for Iraq. |
|
1 |
| The economy which is far better than it has been for many years. |
|
1 |
| The high level of taxation in this country. That and I strongly dislike Tony Blair. |
|
1 |
| The labour candidate was someone I respect and they have done alot for the local area |
|
1 |
| The labour candidate wwas chosen from an all female short list imposed on the area. Our present AM stood against her and was then expelled from the Labour party. |
|
1 |
| The leader was not as bad as te leaders of the other parties. |
|
1 |
| The leadership of Tony Blair. Would have voted Labour if led by Gordon Brown. |
|
1 |
| The less of three main evils... |
|
1 |
| The lesser of several evils. |
|
1 |
| The lib Dem representatives have given honest answers to questions put to them |
|
1 |
| The liberal democrat candidate had a proven track record in this constituency, and I considered him to be the best choice for this area. |
|
1 |
| The man had put the best effort into his campaign. |
|
1 |
| The only way to keep the tories out! |
|
1 |
| The party I disliked the least with the highest degree of concordance with my own views |
|
1 |
| The party I voted for are generally more in touch with the needs of the working class. |
|
1 |
| The party I voted for was the best of a bad bunch. I wasn't very inspired by any of the campaigns. |
|
1 |
| The party I wanted to vote for wasn't running in my area |
|
1 |
| The party does not want to go into europe |
|
1 |
| The party had not *the best policies* but the least bad policies |
|
1 |
| The party wants to introduce proportional representation. I believe this is necessary before the country can really begin to move forward. |
|
1 |
| The person and voting record of my local candidate |
|
1 |
| The points about policy and leadership were important to me, but it was also important to me to vote so that the Tories would not get in. In that way an element of tactics was present. |
|
1 |
| The policies agreed more closely with my way of thinking |
|
1 |
| The policies were closest to my views |
|
1 |
| The sitting MP is a hard-working and principled man, and I wanted him to continue to represent me. |
|
1 |
| The war in Iraq |
|
1 |
| Their councillor was the only one who bothered to help out when I had a problem |
|
1 |
| Their handling of the economy. |
|
1 |
| There are only two parties at present capable of forming a government, Labour and the conservatives. I believe that the labourparty best protect my lifestyle. |
|
1 |
| There are only two parties worth voting for who could form a government any other party is a waste of a vote as a life long Tory I obviously vote Conservative |
|
1 |
| There was no Green Party candidate in my local area |
|
1 |
| There was no Green Party candidate standing in my ward. |
|
1 |
| There was no Green candidate in my constituency. The Liberal Democrat had held seat for a long time and had a good proven record. So once I realised no Green available I knew I would vote for sitting MP. |
|
1 |
| There was no Respect candidate in my constituency |
|
1 |
| There was no UKIP candidate |
|
1 |
| There was no UKIP representative standing in my constituency |
|
1 |
| There was no green cadidate in my area |
|
1 |
| There was no party standing in this constituency that represented my views. |
|
1 |
| They are the best of a very bad lot |
|
1 |
| They conducted the electoral campaign with dignity and maturity and were opposed to the war in Iraq from the start |
|
1 |
| They didn't have things i majorly opposed to. |
|
1 |
| They had the least worst policies |
|
1 |
| They offered policies whilst labour and tories just said how bad the other was. |
|
1 |
| They seemed more likely to give a straight answer to a straight question |
|
1 |
| They were the least worst option |
|
1 |
| They were the lesser of three evils. |
|
1 |
| They were to my mind the best available |
|
1 |
| Though their policies were far too timid, they are most likely reduce the size of Government. |
|
1 |
| To get Blair out |
|
1 |
| To get rid of Tony Blair and the Labour Party |
|
1 |
| To keep Conservatives out of government |
|
1 |
| To make a point about the European Union |
|
1 |
| To rid ourselves of this present deceitful administration |
|
1 |
| Tony Blair lied. I can't afford a Lib Dem government. A vote for any other party would have been a waste. I agreed with some of the conservative policies, but not all. |
|
1 |
| Too ashamed to vote for the BNP |
|
1 |
| UKIP are thr only party committed to pulling out of Europe. All our policies will count for nothing once Europe get hold of us! |
|
1 |
| UKIP didn't have a candidate in my constituency. |
|
1 |
| Unhappy with my local Labour MP so was glad to dipose the useless woman by voting for the glorious Tories. (They rock). |
|
1 |
| Vernon Coaker, my local MP, is an excellent constituency MP who works extremely hard for the good of all people in his constituency: I voted for the man, not the party. |
|
1 |
| Vote against the war, couldn't vote Tory. |
|
1 |
| Voted BNP as a protest to mass immigration and to keep the issue alive |
|
1 |
| Voted for Gordon Brown because I think he is doing a good job and I believe that he will be the next Prime Minister which will be good for my local constituency |
|
1 |
| Voted for Labour as looking to future in the hope that Gordon Brown will take over sooner rather than later |
|
1 |
| Voted for my local MP - NOT his leader! |
|
1 |
| Voted for the person |
|
1 |
| Voted locally for MP already in post |
|
1 |
| Voting Labour was a definite no-no as I trust Blair about as far as I could throw Prescott. BNIP is a joke. Greens do not seem to have a consistent and rational policy on most major issues. Whilst I agreed with a lot of both Tory and Liberal policies, I |
|
1 |
| Wanted a change from Mr Blair. |
|
1 |
| We need to give someone other than Labour or Conservative a chance in government |
|
1 |
| Whilst I prefer some of the Lib Dem's policies, I believe Labour would be more competent in Government |
|

|
1 |

1 |

|
1 |
| because i wanted a party that would be for me a english man.i didnt want a party that would let europe rule us in every way |
|
1 |
| because i was so fed-up with the other two parties i gave some one else a chance could not do any worse |

|
1 |
| i could not vote labour under tory blair have never vvoted lib or tory and cant stand snp |
|
1 |
| i couldn't decide whether to vote libdem, green or SNP so vote for the one nearest the top of the ballot paper as none of them had a chance of winning in my constituency anyway |
|
1 |
| i couldn't make up my mind so voted for the man that i liked who was standing for my area |
|
1 |
| i felt all parties did not come up to scratch, but the local candidate i voted for at least worked whilst in his position, and none of the other candidates had been around so they were unknowns |
|
1 |
| i felt that my way of living had been quite stable over the last 7 years and i wanted my way of living to maintain the same standard for the forseable future. I felt that by having the same government as we have had for the past 7 years would, in my opini |
|
1 |
| i found it difficult to chose so went for the party that simply felt the closenest in general to being able to improve my standard of living |

|
1 |
| i just did |
|
1 |
| i live in croydon and the libdem candidate lives in islington |
|
1 |

|
1 |

1 |
| i think the local mp is a good man for the people |
|
1 |
| i think they should be allowed the chance to show what they are capable of |
|
1 |
| i think they will run the country best |
|
1 |
| i voted for conservatives as the bnp had no canditates where i live. |
|
1 |
| i voted for labour because my mom advised me to she put it to me in english terms and i trust my mom she tells me how it is so i went for labour because sound the best to vote for |
|
1 |
| i wanted to vote green or snp but they didn't run in my area.Tony Blair was the main reason i voted lib dem as i dont trust what he says and he never mentions the main problem this and every other country in the world face which is global warming. |
|
1 |
| i was unhappy with tony blair rather than the labour candidate |
