In 2005 my constituency was tight between Labour and Lib Dems, so voted for the Labour candidate on the basis that they have the best chance of keeping the Tories out. And despite recent polls, a lot of potential Lib Dem voters probably bottled it when it came to the crunch or were too stoned to make it to the polling station.
With a pretty heavy heart, Labour.
They're the party that look like they will screw myself and the Mrs over the least.
Shit way of looking at it, I know, but that's the way its gone.

Is that because you want to vote Tory or because you want to vote for a Unionist Party that is not the DUP?
I find it odd in that centre-left Unionsts in NI are a bit fecked when it comes to voting.
Mine went to the Libs
The nuclear issue slightly put me off them but I've more confidence in clegg that the others to ru the country how i'd like to see it run

They fecked the country up in 13 years, the incompetence with the economy is startling, and we lack 'value' for our tax pound.
No they did not feck the country up. The country is a vast improvement on the mid 90s. Thanks to Labour, the NHS is miles better, there is a minimum wage in place, the elderly are provided with a winter fuel allowance and homophobic Tory legislation has been scrapped, among all the other Labour achievements.
As for incompetence with the economy, the Tories are in no position to judge. If they had it their way (assuming they weren't lying to score political points), we'd have been in a depression, and would almost certainly still be in recession. They opposed quantitive easing (which turned out to be a success) and farcically opposed the measures taken to stop the banks from failing.
Lib Dems
why do labour ministers always look such thugs?
If only the Redcafe opinion was reflected nationwide.
Gaz, im pretty sure they racked up just your vote, good job.
Good job I didn't vote Lib Dems. . .it was a close run thing between Labour and Tories.
mike. we agree.
you saved the world from near extinction mate, i salute you.
Was a close run thing in my area, Samm. . .I guess my vote was tactical.
im amazed so many agreed with us. i thought id vote tory as i was so pissed off with the whole thing .... but in the ballot box, i just could not do it.
how i pray that the tories govern for the next 10 months in a coalition and feck it up so that in the election of 2011, labour can get back in, rid of brown and his cronies and with the new guard. i think labours 'yoof' is far more talented than the tories.
Conservatives got in here by 92 fecking votes, and the voting turn out was down about 4% on last time...less than 50% over all.
wow! ouch.
Yeah. Annoying as feck.
Though not that surprising. We're sat on the edge of Labour/Tory strongholds between London and Essex, so it was always going to be a close one.
where is that? my mother lives near there in Gants Hill.
