Now before we start, Please everyone I don't want this to turn into an argument.

I am sure some of you are aware of my political views, but the question is why do you support your particular political party.
I will start with the main reason for supporting the party I do.

I tend to be right wing because my great grandparents where quite well off business owners. And the left wing government nationalised there business, it is something we as a family have never fully come to terms with. So the idea of voting left wing to me is wrong.
I would add that I am far from well off, in fact if I had to describe my position in society I would say working class, as I work, live in an average house and drive a an average car, just guess that I am joe average.

Please remember this post is not for argueing, just for giving reasons for why you support who you do.

I'm not loyal to any party in particular. I read up before each election and (maybe in error) place my X with whomever has the best policies for me. This seems to have failed me every time as the parties in question do a sharp 'U' turn as soon as they have the seat. Maybe I need to start supporting my local independant candidate!

ive never trusted labour, and never will so will never vote for them. cant say the tories are much better but at least most of them dress a bit more proffesional than the scruffy labour rsoles

I have always been a supporter of personal freedom, private enterprise, democracy and small government. Instinctively, therefore, I have always gravitated towards to the Conservatives. At the moment, however, I am unsure whether they still uphold these values. :-/

I no you said this a joke Doug, but I really don't want an argument, I am truly interested in why people vote the way they do. I have reached that age when curiosity has got the better of me, and would just like to understand a bit more.

i am sort of left of the middle
 i voted labour when they came to power  on a single policy
the ban hand guns thing  after the events in dunblane

they have managed to make a balls of it since then and  they wont get my vote this time however  they are all a lieng shower of arses regardless of what colour of ribbon they wear

In terms of supporting any particular party I'm apolitical

[Martin_1962]

I am more anti Labour than pro a party.

I suppose the TSR2 cancellation and scrapping and my dad was RAF mechanic at the time, it all rubs off.

Then the mess in the mid 70s

like Zulu - i don't have a "team", I don't agree 100% with any single political party but i look at the best fit for who i want running the country and what party would do the best job.
As it stands, the SNP have done a decent enough job since coming to power - progressive with commonsense policies.
General Election, as it stands right now I'd vote LibDem or Labour, I think the recession still has a way to go before its played out and I would trust either of those parties to lead us out without creating mass unemployment
