If there was an election tomorrow who would you vote for?

Being of a broadly centrist Libertarian persuasion, I can't see any party in the poll list or in any viable state of existence which will restore the basic freedoms which have been steadily eroded over the past 20 years or so.

Neither has anyone taken steps to restore a sense of personal responsibility which has suffered a similar fate.

[Red Rackham]

Um .. mine doesn't count. But here you are anyway .. Conservative, minus the deadweight of LibDims, and above all to stop NuLabour finishing off your country. With a majority, an inclusion of UKIP, and a clear mandate .. then the Tories can speed up with reform. They are trying, I believe, but the sheer scale of the damage plus no mandate is making the task horrendous. Not to mention the EU .. which if I did would be the big reason for the perceived slow pace.

Marilyn, until the last election I was a lifelong Labour voter, an increasingly disillusioned Labour voter but a Labour voter all the same. As you say, Blair & Harmon have practically finished off this country. Which is why for the first time in my life, and it must be said, with a heavy heart I voted Tory last time. But look at what's happened, Cameron is proving, if proof were needed, that the Tory party is indeed the party of the rich. He seems hell bent on alienating millions of working class people in this country and in doing so he's handing the next election to Labour, although probably not to Ed Milliband. Then what? more immigration (is that possible?) the £ would go and regardless of what the majority wanted the EU would have even more infuence over our lives. Which is why I joined UKIP.

I see things from a distance, I see changes being attempted .. the Tories are juggling with the do-able I think, sometimes dropping the ball. This coalition is a disaster and a mill stone around their necks.
Basically, I don't see anyone else being able to stop NuLabour (which is not the same party you supported for a lifetime) .. and don't forget who threw open your gates to the 3rd world .. and if they get in power again I will put flowers on the grave of once Great Britain.

And PS .. a change of leader and reabsorption of UKIP would be a good idea in how to fight the next election.

[marjem]

In the coming local election I will be voting for the Green party candidate (formerly Labour) who has been our councillor for many years. She lives in the area, listens to peoples concerns and acts on them.

If there was a General Election tomorrow I would vote UKIP.

[Dee-Dee]

Like Marilyn, my vote is just a "what if" one but I, too, would vote Conservative because that is the smart thing to do at this time in order to stop Labour getting back in. The Lib Dems will probably peel off next time round. In general elections one must vote with one's head. You can support whatever you like but to be strategically powerful you need to vote for a party that has a chance of getting into power, stopping the dangerous one from succeeding. Voting small in general elections splits the results, shaves off marginal votes that could be crucial and hands victory to the opposition on a plate. Local is better for small parties and independents.

These days Labour are to the right of the conservatives.
But all three are liberals.
But I guess you must love 600,000 immigrants coming in a year.

Even in the last year of Thatchers government immigration was at 300,000 a year.
Guess Tory voters love immigration.

Don't be silly .. Dee and I have both been consistently against mass immigration.
Do you really think there is any party capable of taking on the so-called LibLabCon ? ... pragmatism calls for a choice between two .. and it will be two.
The conservatives need to return to their roots .. Labour's has changed irreparably.

eta: until you leave the EU, immigration will not stop .. it is a runaway train.

How can you be against immigration when you vote for a party that openly states it loves immigration and loves the EU?
