3 |
| A combination of their policies, their leader and a dislike and distrust of the tories and their leader |
|
1 |
| A gesture against the three main parties. |
|
1 |
| A very hard working and diligent local MP - I am balancing that against my strong desire to see CHANGE and to do away with the Labour government (the latter would see me voting my current MP out of her seat) |
|
1 |
| ANYTHING to get rid of this current Prime Minister and his Party. |
|
1 |
| About time somebody else had a go |
|
1 |
| After the way the Labour Party and their Conservative predecessors have messed things up I can't bring myself to vote for either of them. I live in Tony Blair's old constituency and we very rarely even saw him up here. |
|
1 |
| After watching the chancellors debate I preferred Vince Cable to the others. Also, labour has had a chance at government and hasn't performed as I'd hoped. As it is against my background and principles to vote Conservative, the only other real option is t |
|
1 |
| All my life I have been a supporter of Labour through bad times and good. I cannot, at my age, visualise changing this 'habit of a lifetime' - I can just hope for the best that the Labour party can come up with the goods |
|
1 |
| All of the current party and what it stands for. |
|
1 |
| All other parties seem to blindside environmental issues. |
|
1 |
| All parties appear as bad as each other at min, no really strong leadership or policies but a change is needed |
|
1 |
| Although I do not agree with Independence for Scotland I think the SNP is more grown up and genuinely wants to introduce policies that will lead to a fairer society |
|
1 |
| Although I have problems with Labour, I have no confidence in David Cameron and his party. |
|
1 |
| Any party that comes close to what I think |
|
1 |
| Anything to get rid of this Labour government; I know very little about any of the other parties except the COnservatives. |
|
1 |
| Approach which most nearly but not significantly matches my own views. |
|
1 |
| As a Chair of Governors for a school I need the support of the Conservatives locally. So I will vote conservative |
|
1 |
| As a wake up call over imigration and the EU |
|
1 |
| As horribly flawed as it is, it has one or two good ideas, notably the removal of the current political elite, greater national self-sufficiency and an end to this ridiculous cultural cringe. |
|
1 |
| At the moment I have no confidence in any party. I think MP's forget the reason they are elected as soon as they reach Parliament and just like the power and financial cosideration the position brings |
|
1 |
| BECAUSE i THINK THEY'RE THE BEST OF A BAD BUNCH |
|
1 |
| BETTER FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME |
|
1 |
| BNP offers the mass of native British people something they want to hear. I am not saying they would be a good party in the whole but they may make the leading parties think about the concerns of the average native britain |
|
1 |
| Background,upbringing and personal beliefs. |
|
1 |
| Balance of honesty and alignment of my own views with my local candidates |
|
1 |
| Basic principals |
|
1 |
| Because I am a liberal and a democrat. If they live up to their name and follow liberal and democratic policies then I will follow them. |
|
1 |
| Because I believe in socialism, even though the present shower don't appear to know what socialism means - they are all too selfish. |
|
1 |
| Because I believe it is the only party that truly represents or cares about Britain. The three main parties are only interested in their own power and status. |
|
1 |
| Because I believe we should have an in/out referendum on europe |
|
1 |
| Because I live in Wales and believe they will do better for this country than another party. |
|
1 |
| Because Labour has made such a mess of this country and they are the only ones that try and get us out of the mess we're in |
|
1 |
| Because i feel the party I vote for strongly stands for and upholds my beliefs |
|
1 |
| Because of the tax and NI situation that Labour have enforced. Otherwise would vote Labour. |
|
1 |
| Because they deserve a chance to get in, just to see if they can cock it up. |
|
1 |
| Because we have an excellent MP - one of the very few honest ones - and I would hate not to have him in Parliament! |
|
1 |
| Best able to handle the economic crisis, particularly if Alastair Darling remains Chancellor. |
|
1 |
| Best of bad bunch! |
|
1 |
| Best of the few from which to choose. |
|
1 |
| Biggest anti-EU party. |
|
1 |
| Both labour and conservatives are not up to the job of running the country. So why vote them into power? |
|
1 |
| Both main parties are just the same, and too big and untrustworthy |
|
1 |
| Both main parties are too close together. There are no real dividing lines. No clear beacon that shines to the voter and says "Vote for me and I'll do X" It's all symantics and slight of hand. |
|
1 |
| Brought up in one party household and in the era of seeing two parties in different decades |
|
1 |
| Browns out of control. Time for a change and hope it may get better |
|
1 |
| Can't bring myself to vote for any of the 3 mainstream parties |
|
1 |
| Combination - don't want another term of Labour and pefer the Conservative's leader and policies |
|
1 |
| Combination of above |
|
1 |
| Combination of voting for best policies and voting against current party in power |
|
1 |
| Conservative leader is not an option to vote for - incompetant |
|
1 |
| Consevatives & labour have made a hash of things, perhaps another party should have the chance of giving it a go rather than it always being a 2 horse race. |
|
1 |
| Country needs a change. |

| Despite being a member of the Labour Party I cannot vote for them this time due to the war and the in-fighting in the party and their drift to the right |
|
1 |
| Disgusted at the three main parties. No one should vote for them. We need change |
|
1 |
| Disillusioned with politics in general but Labour in particular hence my decision |
|
1 |
| Distrust all political parties so vote for one which is unlikely to win sych as green party. At least with them you know their objective |
|
1 |
| Do not trust the conservatives on the NHS remember when they were in before sitting nearly all day to see a cosultant |
|
1 |
| Do not want conservative victory as don't agree with most of their policies (if they have any other than to be elected) |
|
1 |
| Don't be nosey |
|
1 |
| Don't believe my preferred party is standing a candidate. |
|
1 |
| Don't like gordon brown |
|
1 |
| Don't trust Conservatives |
|
1 |
| Don't want to vote for any of them as not happy with what any of them offer but feel its my duty to vote (best of a bad lot basically) |
|
1 |
| Dont know who to vote for, they are all as bad as each other |
|
1 |
| Dont think the party I would vote for has a candidate here. |
|
1 |
| Exit from the EU |
|
1 |
| FAMILY CONNECTIONS |
|
1 |
| Fed up with Labour but don't think another party will get in |
|
1 |
| Fed up with the two main parties one upmanship and silly little boy point scoring instaed of doing what the people have put them there to do. |
|
1 |
| Feel let down my Conservative's current policies |
|
1 |
| For the local candidate |
|
1 |
| Fresh ideas |
|
1 |
| General disillusionment with the two main political parties; lack of Green, Socialist or independent candidates in my area. |
|
1 |
| Generally vote for Conservatives |
|
1 |
| Get us out of europe |
|
1 |
| Give them a chance |
|
1 |
| Give them a chance to try to run country better than the main 2 |

| Good local LibDem MP already there |
|
1 |
| Gordon Brown is an utter disgrace and the worst Prime Minister this country has had since Ramsey McDonald. I will vote for the party most likely to defeat him and thus throw him and his appalling group of incompetent second-raters onto the dung heap where |

1 |
| I BELIVE THEY COULD GET THIS COUNTRY BACK ON TOP AGAIN |
|
1 |
| I agree with most of what they say |
|
1 |
| I am a former labour voter, but I can't vote for them this time after the mess which they have made. There is no way I could ever vote Tory. I'm unhappy with Plaid Cymru (which is bound to win in my constituency). I couldn't ever vote UKIP. That only leav |
|
1 |
| I am a grass roots labour supporter |
|
1 |
| I am anti Europe |
|
1 |
| I am awaiting the manifestos of all parties as they are currently bickering about what other parties are doing. I have decided to vote against labour after being let down by them |
|
1 |
| I am fed up with being treaed like rubbish by this government. |
|
1 |
| I am hoping that we will return to a more socialist government |
|
1 |
| I am in a solid Labour seat with a retiring MP, I would vote Lib Dem if I do not like the new candidate's views. |
|
1 |
| I am opposed to our stifling membership of the EU |
|
1 |
| I am somewhat disenchanted with the 3 major parties, and feel the only alternative is the Green party - I could have no truck with the extremists of the right. However, I am not wholly convinved by the Greens either, and in my constituency, a monkey could |
|
1 |
| I am thinking of voting Conservative as I think or Hope that David Cameron lives in the real world. |
|
1 |
| I believe in a fair world where people should not do without or have too much just because of their class |
|
1 |
| I believe in an independent Scotland |
|
1 |
| I believe in democracy at a national level, ie, Scotland, Wales, England etc. |
|
1 |
| I believe in fairness and equality. Labour comes close to that view. I do not agree with many policies in the Labour party. |
|
1 |
| I believe that the country should give the Liberal Democrats a chance as they never get into power and so nobody knows what they are capable of. |
|
1 |
| I believe that the major parties need a wake-up call, they are too complacent.and if enough people vote, as I intend to do,it at least will show them how fed up we are with the current rotten situation in this country. |
|
1 |
| I belive that if a new party get in they would try and change the good that has already be done and will put the uk in deeper trouble than it has been |
|
1 |
| I can't stand Cameron so will not vote Conservative |
|
1 |
| I can't stand either of the other main parties. |
|
1 |
| I cannot bear the thought of another term of the Labour Party and their lies |
|
1 |
| I cannot stand Gordon Brown and whilst he is the leader of the Labour Party I will not vote for them |
|
1 |
| I cant vote Tory, Labour are loosing confidence. I am sick of two party squabbling and them not dealinig with issues. LibDem may cut through 2 party childishness and bring some sanity to a middle way |
|
1 |
| I consider myself to be a Conservative and I will vote as such in the General Election to rid the country of the present Labour Government. However, I have not great confidence that the Conservatives will be strong willed enough to take the action necessa |
|
1 |
| I consider myself to have conservative values - small state, strong economy, family friendly, compassionate, strong and fair |
|
1 |
| I consider the candidate as well as the party. |
|
1 |
| I detest Gordon Brown, and the grossly incompetent Labour government, and, moren than anything, I want him OUT of office |
|
1 |
| I do not believe in the party political system strongly but I vote for the person who I feel will best represent us not necessarily for his party. |
|
1 |
| I do not have much faith or trust in the labour or conservative leaders |
|
1 |
| I do not trust the main two parties now, so I will probably vote for one which has not disgusted me but has no chance of winning. If there was a 'no confidence in the entire bunch' I would put my cross by that! |
|
1 |
| I do not want Labour to continue and wish to register this |
|
1 |
| I don't believe any of the parties are fit to govern the UK, but I will not vote for Labour after the fiasco they have turned this County in to and the Lib Dems have no chance of winning - hence my Conservative vote |
|
1 |
| I don't like any of the leaders to be honest and the majority is 17000 so it almost doesnt matter who I vote for here. |
|
1 |
| I don't think that there are many politicians, of any party, who can be trusted, or will do as the population asks. With the three main parties in England there is too much PARTY politics when politicians are made to follow the PARTY line, instead of doin |
|
1 |
| I don't want Labour to get back in |
|
1 |
| I don't want a tory to win here |
|
1 |
| I don't want to Conservatives to get in |
|
1 |
| I don't want to vote for any of the major parties. |
|
1 |
| I don`t trust labour or conservatives anymore after the expenses scandle and labour were full of pledges over the last 12yrs and have actually done nothing |
|
1 |
| I don`t trust the conservitives |
|
1 |
| I dont think that any of the Party's involved would be capable of doing a good job - so it's time for a change |
|
1 |
| I dont think there is any other party that will mention the immigration problem after the last election reaction to it. Yet I feel in this economic situation we cannot afford to have any more people added to the mix. |
|
1 |
| I dont vote for the party I vote for the local candidants standing in my area, I vote for the person who I think might do a good job over the others, and come to my front door to meet and talk to me, why should I vote for anyone who cant care less and can |
|
1 |
| I dont want Conservatives to win and may be wasting my vote to vote for SNP.So I may vote tactically this time. |
|
1 |
| I feel the country would be worse off under a conservative leader. |
|
1 |
| I feel with the current tendency towards the UK having two Parties with little political daylight between them (just as in the US where they have only a right-wing Party and a not-so-right-wing Party that voters can choose between) that the only honourabl |
|
1 |
| I find I can't vote for Labour because too many of them have selfishly betrayed the electorates trust and have lost all integrity in my eyes (slease/personal gain above all else). Also The labour party is now tired and needs re-energising. |
|
1 |
| I generally back the socialist policies of labour, although I'm not sure these days how true to them they are. |
|
1 |
| I hate New Laboiur with a vengeance, I despise the Tory party for having no policies and would hate to be governed by children, the liberals want to spread immigrants all over the UK and the whole lot are corrupt. I will vote UKIP to get out of Europe and |
|
1 |
| I have a deep mistrust of Tories |
|
1 |
| I have always voted conservative |
|
1 |
| I have always voted for the Conservative party. |
|
1 |
| I have always voted labour but now feel they no longer represent my circumstances |
|
1 |
| I have been surprised at how well tey have done as the majority party in the Scottish Government and am prepared to give them a chance at westminster. i am absolutely opposed to "new" labour and dislike the Blair Lite Tories under David Cameron. |
|
1 |
| I have never trusted Labour, and I do not agree with LibDems policy re Europe. |
|
1 |
| I have no allegiance to any party. I vote for who I happen to think makes the most sense, and their propositions on how they intend dealing with the problems the country face, at that given time. At this particular time, I think Vince Cable, has been fair |
|
1 |
| I have old Labour beleifs that I do not see New Labour delivering, but neither does any other party. |
|
1 |
| I have only voted Labour once and we got Tony Blair! Parents were Tories so I followed suit and see no reason to change. Although I vote differently in the local elections. |
|
1 |
| I have seen too many things go wrong when the Conservative Party were in power. For instance the minute Maggie Thatcher took over power, she put up the price of the three main staple items in everyone's life.....petrol bread and milk |
|
1 |
| I have voted Labour ever since I could vote, as all my Family are Labour Fans, irrespective how well or bad they do, I never leave a sinking ship. |
|
1 |
| I have yet to see heir manifesto so will make my mind up when all issues are available to read and digest |
|
1 |
| I know the candidate and trust her. |
|
1 |
| I like david cameron but like most people wary of voting Conservative as it niot a working mans goverement and the last time they were in Margret Thatcher started privatising companys in my opion this is were our problems started |
|
1 |
| I never want to be governed again by the tories. Especially Call me dave and his Public School cronies. This man has proved to be shallow and deceitful. |
|
1 |
| I no longer feel that the main parties have a clue about what is going on in this country, I do not feel I can trust any of them. |
|
1 |
| I pay more attention to the candidate than the party. |
|
1 |
| I prefer a scottish government. |
|
1 |
| I really find David Cameron hard to take. He grabs headlines too readily and seems to be happy to take party politics to the limits even when it is not good for the country. I therefore would find it hard to vote Conservative for fear of having Mr Cameron |
|
1 |
| I remember the 'Thatcher' and 'Major' years!! |
|
1 |
| I see them as a good and better alternative to the usual Labour and Conservative rubbish |
|
1 |
| I strongly disagree with Labour policies, what they are. I am angry about the ongoing errosion of privacy and I think the Labour Party are mired in sleeze more than other parties. |
|
1 |
| I tend to consider individual political idea and policy that my local MP stands for, doesn't matter which party he/she belongs to. |
|
1 |
| I tend to vote for who looks like the nicest candidate for my area - approachable etc |
|
1 |
| I think Labour has become complacent and corrupted we need to see what another party can do for this country if they dont come up to the mark we change again that is what democracy is for |
|
1 |
| I think another Labour government would be very bad for Britain. But I will be voting Labour in 2010 because it's not just parties - it's candidates. I'll be voting for Yvette Cooper (Labour MP for Pontefract) because I trust her more than the other candi |
|
1 |
| I think its time for a change and Labour haven't been doing a very good job |
|
1 |
| I think that its time for a change and quite like the policies of the Lib Dems. I worry that its a lost vote though |
|
1 |
| I think they are all rogues, but its time for a change |
|
1 |
| I think they are better to run the country |
|
1 |
| I think we need a different type of government |
|
1 |
| I think we should stop paying into the EU. This is only likely if we get out. Other parties would not do this. |
|
1 |
| I trust PR men about as much as I'd trust a hungry shark and the Tories are all about PR & marketing. I'd like a government that can think about what it's doing not do what's best for PR. besides, the Tories haven't actually come up with any policies as y |
|
1 |
| I try to choose who "seems" to be most believable /trustworthy |
|
1 |
| I used to be Labour, but have completely lost trust in them. Votin g Green is a harmless alternative that's closest to my ethics |
|
1 |
| I vote according to what Party will do the best for our area and having had Sir Alan Beith, Liberal, since 1972 he has done a brilliant job for this area - he actually cares about people |
|
1 |
| I vote for the least awful lot of politicians. If there was a catagory of'none of the above' I would vote for them. |
|
1 |
| I vote for the party who's policies are closest to my beliefs. |
|
1 |
| I vote for the person standing and not the party |
|
1 |
| I vote so that my council is run by Conservatives |
|
1 |
| I want Scottish independence. |
|
1 |
| I want a party which will deal strongly with internal corruption (the MPs expenses), with the economy (getting the country solvent again), with public spending (spend on essential services and get rid of the layers of government and pen pushers), immigrat |
|
1 |
| I want to get rid of the present government |
|
1 |
| I want to vote Labour but I think the party has lost its way temporarily. What I don't want is a 'hung' Parliament and by voting Conservative I may help to avoid this. |
|
1 |
| I was brought up as a conservative and to vote any other way seems unthinkable to me. However, this year, I would vote for any party that stood a good chance of getting rid of Gordon Brown. Unfortunately, Labour has the best plan for immigration issues... |
|
1 |
| I will be voting for my present MP because he is working hard for the constituency and is a good MP |
|
1 |
| I will look at the candidates in my constituency and decide which one would best represent my family, friends and area. |
|
1 |
| I will vote Conservative to try to ensure that Labour and gordon brown,mandleson and balls don't get another chance to ruin the country. |
|
1 |
| I will vote because people sacrificed themselves for me to be able to vote, but I have no confidence in any of the choices on offer, thus I will vote for NOTA rather than not vote at all. I regard myself as old labour and have never voted new labour |
|
1 |
| I will vote for a party that has polices for me. None have at the monment. |
|
1 |
| I will vote for the party that has a manifesto that I can believe in, and that I feel has some chance of being followed through. I am tired of U-turns, and I am getting very cynical about political promises. |
|
1 |
| I won't vote for Labour or Conservative and I don't yet know which other parties may stand, or have a chance, here. Conservatives wwil probably win anyway! |
|
1 |
| I would NEVER vote Conservative. I would consider any other party if they were tough on immigration.I work in a multicultural community and am sick of Polish,Czech and others not being able to speak English but able to claim benefits (and being better off |
|
1 |
| I would never vote Conservative - I simply don't trust them. My politics are Labour, but there is no longer a genuine Labour Party in this country. Liberal Democrat seems to be all that is left. |
|
1 |
| I would support a party who demonstrated honesty, credibility and have a respected leader. |
|
1 |
| I'd vote Lib Dem or abstain rather than vote Labour. I'm a strong Labour supporter, but this Govt. under Gordon Brown has lost any notion of what Labout stands for. |
|
1 |
| I'd vote for an independent candidate as the big 3 have let me down |
|
1 |
| I'll give Cameron one chance only to reduce tax, the State, benefits and immigration. |
|
1 |
| I'll vote for the party that opposes moslem immigration and tries to get us out of Europe |
|
1 |
| I'm completely fed up with the two main parties. Their policies are virtually identical meaning that I have no real choice. Voting Libdem might at least save us from the exceses of the other two. |
|
1 |
| I'm not sure who is standing in my area. If we do not have a candidate for a party I prefer, then these are the closest to my views. |
|
1 |
| If either of the two 'main' parties are elected with a significant majority it will be a disaster for the country as a whole as they will be able to do whatever they please for the next four years. I'm getting sick and tired of living in an elected dictat |
|
1 |
| If i trusted them |
|
1 |
| In power long enough to now know the best path to take. |
|
1 |
| It depends on the policies |
|
1 |
| It is unlikely that any other party than Conservative will have a chance. I dont want such a government. |
|
1 |
| It will be a protest as the 3 main parties do not seem to be doing anything to tackle the problems facing my community. |
|
1 |
| Its the least worst option. |
|
1 |
| Its time for a change |
|
1 |
| Its time for a change. |
|
1 |
| Iv/e A candidate who has never stood before, so i/m still unable to make up my mind. |
|
1 |
| Labour has done a poor job but the Conservatives only look out for the rich and as far as I'm concerned there are only 2 contenders. |
|
1 |
| Labour has policy's that are close to my own views |
|
1 |
| Labour have been very good with what has happened on a local basic. So i would not like to see that changed. |
|
1 |
| Labour have failed badly and not kept their promises and we need a change. |
|
1 |
| Labour have made a big mess of things and there looks no chance of it improving, so it's time for a change and the conservatives have the best chance of getting in. |
|
1 |
| Labour is the closest mainstream party to reflect my views & beliefs & I hate the consevatives! |
|
1 |
| Lesser of evils |
|
1 |
| Lib Lab Con all say the same thing although they are supposed to be different, but if I vote UKIP it tells the three main parties that they are rubbish |
|
1 |
| Local LibDem candidate is currently our local Councillor and doing a decent job. |
|
1 |
| Local candidate, who won last time, seems to have done a fairly good job |
|
1 |
| Manifesto and confidence to carry it out |
|
1 |
| May not agree with some of the proposed policies and some of the personalities but will always vote Conservative |
|
1 |
| More likely to change the voting system to be more democratic. |
|
1 |
| More local emphasis |
|
1 |
| Mr Brown did not have the backing of the Labour voters as Prime minister and although I am a long time supporter of the Labour party I will never vote for them as long as he is the leader and possible new prime minister |
|
1 |
| My Lib Dem MP is standing again and deserves to be re elected. |
|
1 |
| My MP is an independent. I wouldn't vote if I didn't have that option. |
|
1 |
| My area is run by Lib Dem and is lovely so why change it |
|
1 |
| My current MP is a good constituency MP, who works extremely hard and has claimed no expenses other than the London Allowance. |
|
1 |
| My local MP has helped me and the liberal demorcrats are the only party to knock on my door to see how i am etc |
|
1 |
| My local MP, Kelvin Hopkins is an honest and decent man. I am not voting for a party I am voting for HIM. |
|
1 |
| My personal situation would not be solved by any of them |
|
1 |
| My preference for the Conservative Party is because it is the only one which appears as a viable alternative to the present government. |
|
1 |
| My vot is for Vince Cable as Chancellor as I think he has the best ideas and seems very sensible |
|
1 |
| N/A |
|
1 |
| NA |
|
1 |
| Never vote tory, new labour is just tory in disguise which leave lib dems as a slightly viable alternative |
|
1 |
| New Labour has lost its way. They are a light blue consevative party these days - NOT the party I've always supported. |
|
1 |
| No other party is really facing up to immigration issues - our open borders and easy to get benefits are a farce |
|
1 |
| No other party is repared to consider our position in Europe. I am pro-Europe, but I do not like the rapid move to what is efectively an unelected government of Europe. |
|
1 |
| No0 confidence in the others |
|
1 |
| None of the other parties offer the policy of an exit from the EU. We must regain control of our country before we will be able to take any action to repair our damaged economy. |
|
1 |
| Not represented in my area |
|
1 |

| Of the limited number of parties standing in my area this party has the most policies that I agree with but I still don't agree with all their policies. |
|
1 |
| One of the main costs to our economy seems to be Europe and I see no reason why we should shore up this tax burden so other countries can benefit from it and our ex MPs get 'jobs for the boys' guaranteed when they retire or get thrown out of Westminster |
|
1 |
| Only two parties can win the general election. Not wholly committed to Tories but better option than labour. |
|
1 |
| Our curent mp is a lib dem and he is brilliant so will vote to keep this man as my mp |
|
1 |
| Our labour Mp is a fantastic constituency MP,. I dislike his party but have huge resect for him. Lindsey Hoyle |
|
1 |
| Overall I think voting conservative is the best option although I do not believe that they have the best polices, I want out of Europe but voting UKIP in a national election could allow liebour a bigger vote than they deserve for ruining the country |

| Personal |
|
1 |
| Personalities. The local candidates for the three major parties are all loathsome |
|
1 |
| Plaid Cymru understands the issues affecting Wales better than any other party, they are not instructed to vote with the party line in Westminster. |
|
1 |
| Prefer not to answer |
|
1 |
| Probably the best of a bad bunch and likely to handle the economy better than any of the other parties. Although I must say I have little faith in any politicians or parties to improve anything |
|
1 |
| Proposed immigration and European Union polocies |
|
1 |
| Protest |
|
1 |
| Protest against the main three parties Con Lab and Lib for their dishonesty in MP Expenses Claims. A need to punish them. |
|
1 |
| Protest vote. An extreme vote in the hope other parties next time change policies on immigration |
|
1 |
| RATHER NOT SAY |
|
1 |
| Register disapproval of two main parties |
|
1 |
| Relative honesty. |
|
1 |
| Retrospective legislation by the conservatives |
|
1 |
| Sick of the shit we are fed and have to put up with. |
|
1 |
| Stance on Iraq |
|
1 |
| Stands for what I believe is best for the country |
|
1 |
| THE CONSERVATIVES ARE MORE INTELLIGENT |
|
1 |
| THE TORRIES AR NOT TO BE TRUSTED IN THERE LAST TERM OF OFFICE THE WAY THEY SAVED MONEY BY STOPPING THE KIS MILK AT SCHOOL THEY ARE FOR THE RICH THEY ALWAYS HAVE BEEN |
|
1 |
| THEIR PRIORITY IS ENVIRONMENT |
|
1 |
| TO RID US OF IMMIGRANTS |
|
1 |
| The Conservatives have always stood for private enterprise and against state interference. I would like to think that that is still the case despite some evidence to the contrary! |
|
1 |
| The Labour Party had chance to make good for this country during the good times but squandered. The should all be brought to trial and hung next day. Every one of them. |
|
1 |
| The Lib Dems work unceasingly for my local election area, keep us all in touch with their efforts by means of frequent newsletters all through the year, and are generally very approachable if any problems arise. |
|
1 |
| The balance of party leader, party policies, and the political makeup of my constituency all play a part in my decision |
|
1 |
| The country needs a change and while the Conservatives are far from perfect they are the only realistic alternative to Labour. |
|
1 |
| The current system of government badly needs changing. Labour and the Conservative parties are not listening to their people or their advisors and just carry on with their own agenda irrespective of advice or general opinion. We need a shake up of governm |
|
1 |
| The labour party has been in power for 13 years. It showed strong leadership in the global economic crisis and is best placed to mend the resultant broken UK economy by being allowed to pursue its policies through another Parliament. |
|
1 |
| The last conservative government destroyed our country. Nothing about the current conservative leaders reassures me that they will be any different. They care more for their own than the best interests of the nation. |
|
1 |
| The leader of the SNP is a liability to Scotland, and not up to the job. |
|
1 |
| The local MP is a Liberal Democrat and she is an excellent local MP |
|
1 |
| The one with the most believable promises that them might actually be able to keep |
|
1 |
| The only party to give Scotland independance |
|
1 |
| The opposition party has shown no great reasons to vote for them. |
|
1 |
| The other parties have proved that they are not to be trusted. |
|
1 |
| The other two major parties do not have an acceptable answer to the needs of the country at present |
|
1 |
| The party I intend to vote for has the best policies regarding the European Union. |
|
1 |
| The party has the best mix of policies that offer a balance in society. It's has nothing to do with personal wealth, but more to do with a fair and balanced system. |
|
1 |
| The party's record - how it has behaved in the past. On policies, it's more about SPECIFIC policies than the best policies overall. Also, if a party puts up a candidate who has voted the wrong way in unrepresentative "free" votes on so-called ethical issu |
|
1 |
| The question is unanswerable in its present form. |
|
1 |
| The sitting Lib Dem MP has worked very hard for this constituency and I would like to see him remain as our MP |
|
1 |
| The sitting MP that will probably get in any way voted for later abortion |
|
1 |
| The three main parties have zero credibility and are clones of each other. |
|
1 |
| The three main political parties are too complacent, they need a big kick up the backside and REALLY listen to what people want |
|
1 |
| The whole ethos of the party. |
|
1 |
| Their stance on immigration and I cannot stand Brown or Cameron. |
|
1 |
| There is no reason why the liberal democrats can't do better than the two major parties, they can't do any worse. |
|
1 |
| There is only one proper party that is against the waste of the EU |
|
1 |
| They are best able to manage the U.K finances |
|
1 |
| They are probably better than the current shower we have in, but only marginally. |
|
1 |
| They are the only ones likly to beat labour |
|
1 |
| They are the only ones that would take us out of the European Union (as agianst the European Economic Community) and this is a pre-requisite to dealing with many of our problems. |
|
1 |
| They are the only party that care about the planet. |
|
1 |
| They are the only party who take the very important problem of our overlords in the EU seriously. |
|
1 |
| They are they only party which will withdraw us from Europe. |
|
1 |
| They do a lot locally |
|
1 |
| They need to be honorable and right |
|
1 |
| They seem to be the only 'middle of the road' party |
|
1 |
| They would get us out of the e.u. |
|
1 |
| Think they deserve a chance at leading the country - they can't do any worse than the others..... |
|
1 |
| Think they deserve a chance they can not do any worse than past Goverments |
|
1 |
| This country needs a viable opposition to Labour. I totally dread the idea of a Tory government and would like the Liberal Democrats to be as strong as possible. Hopefully, the Tories will be seen for the anachronism they are and will cease to exist. |
|
1 |
| Time for a change |
|
1 |
| Time for a change of government! |
|
1 |
| To give it a chance to do a better job |
|
1 |
| To keep Labour out |
|
1 |
| To keep the other lying, cheating lot out |
|
1 |
| To remove Labour from Government. |
|
1 |
| To send a message to the parties likely to win. |
|
1 |
| To try and win back our freedom from the European Union and the appalling cost of it all. |
|
1 |
| To vote for an individual MP |
|
1 |
| Totally disiluusioned with the political system in this country want to make a protest. |
|
1 |
| Totally fed up with the constant lies and broken promises of the major parties. |

|
1 |
| UKIP are the only party, other than the BNP, who have a policy to leave the EU |
|
1 |
| UKIP is the only party which has promised to break away for the EU |
|
1 |
| Uncontrolled immigration and constant appeasement of islamics who will never integrate in this country despite now up to 4th generation. |
|
1 |
| Under no circumstances would I vote Labour after the economic mess they have presided over for the last 12 years and although I am unsure of Conservative policies would prefer to have them in power. |
|
1 |
| Unsure how any other party could do any better. |
|
1 |
| Useless Conservative candidate foisted on us after Boris Johnson left. It's a safe Conservative seat but hopefully he'll get a smaller majority and it'll send a message to Central Office |
|
1 |
| Usually based on the personality and background of candidate |
|
1 |
| Vince Cable is my MP although I would like the Conservatives to win a minority, I would like Vince Cable as Chancellor |
|
1 |
| Vince Cable the only sensible one talking economics |
|
1 |
| Vince Cable will make the best chancellor. |
|
1 |
| Vince Cable would be best Chancellor |
|
1 |
| Vote for anyone other than existing 3 to get someone better |

| We cannot have another five years of this disasterous labour government. The worst in history! |
|
1 |
| We need a change from a government that has increased taxes by stealth, is dishonest and has no idea how to help the country. |
|
1 |
| Well, I normally vote LD because I like their policies and want a change from the main two parties but I also like a lot of Green and Labour policies so I'm split. I might vote Labout to stop the Tories getting in - fortunately they have no chance of gett |

| What the MP for my area does for the local area and how they would vote on a particular issue should it arise in Parliament. |
|
1 |
| While I am not impressed by the Conservativ performance in the run up I think they have the best chance of getting rid of this present excuse for a government |
|
1 |
| Whilst there are more pressing problems for the country at present i.e the economy I am concerned in the longer term at the gradual erosion of democratic freedom. This is happening because of the uncontrolled flood of immigrants who, escaping the babarity |
|
1 |
| Will not vote labour and Liberal is wasted vote |
|
1 |
| Will the person represent my area and vote independently if necessary. Also someone who will only act as an MP and not take other jobs |
|
1 |
| Would normally vote Conservative but have no confidence in Cameron. |
|
1 |
| Would prefer plaid but they are not large enough to have a say at westminster. Constituency is a two horse race plaid and liberal democrats |

|
1 |
| because ALL parties have liars, theives, cheats and are self serving. Time to do away with party politics and vote for a trustworthy person who will ask the voters what they want and then do just that. More referendumes needed on all issues. |
|
1 |
| because i have no faith in conservative, i feel this is a party for the more well off and i feel liberal would be a wasted vote as they are unlikely to get in in my area |
|
1 |
| because they seem to be the only one to do any thing about illegal imigrants |

|
1 |
