I am voting "party name" because....
LABOUR
They seem to be the only Westminster party looking into the future for todays youth, young professionals, the current and future tax payers of the national debt.
I just hope everyone votes for anyone but Tory, and see through the lies they give about Europe or even the SNP with the rather childish advertisements. Everyone has a voice and a part to play whether you are on the right or the left, the Tories just won't deliver and for that reason I am going to do my hardest to persuade people to vote anyone but David Cameron and Conservatives on May 7th.
Who are you voting for and why?

The idea behind a 3 year tenancy and rent cap wins me over.
Abolishing stamp duty for first time buyers, again works for me.
NMW set at £8ph is very good as it will benefit my Mam greatly.
Tuition fees lowered, which will mean less debt (longterm).
Being honest, none of the other Westminster parties have said anything that resonates with me, I have looed at the Liberals and again nothing. The Tories put me off with that stupid uncosted, illthought Right to Buy announcement. In the long term the Tories have no plans help everyone out. They are promising a tax cut for well off people with £1 million homes when they pass them on to their family. £12bln of cuts to welfare which they havent said what parts will be cut, they know it will be bad thats why they are trying to talk about the economy.Abolishing stamp duty for first time buyers, again works for me.

I have to make up my mind soon other wise my postal vote will not get there in time.
so its ukip for me as they let people have a say on things. plus they wont spend as much money as the others but what they spend will be mainly on the uk and not the eu or abroad.
to push the Tories into action. Not yet, perhaps in 2020.
Im sorry but you wont persuade me not to vote Conservative. I don't believe that Labour will deliver on half of what they have promised. Labour have got a pretty poor track record on the economy and without a strong economy you cant deliver what Labour is promising.
I know I am in the minority on here but having a Labour government really does concern me.
Lib, Lab, Con patronise us, and in Lab and Lib case will definitely not allow a referendum. The Tories sneak around it like shifty salesmen hoping to grab the votes and run.
However, I have today decided to vote Independent in the local elections as the council needs a total shake up.
It's the closest to me politically. I can see bits of all of the parties that I like and dislike. The only other party that ever tempted me was the Lib Dems during Ashdown/Kennedy times.
I've never voted before.
I agree Labour left a horrible legacy relative to the banks and under regulation, the crash was going to hit no matter who it was. Admittedly bailing out the banks cost this country shed loads.
How you use your vote is a personal decision, granted we are at opposite ends of the table. I have no problem if people want to vote Tory, thats your or their choice. I disagree with their policies and what they aren't doing for young people.
I am no socialist, I am slightly jealous Scotland has the SNP to stand up for their interests. Nicola Sturgeon has proved to be a very good orator and shrewd politician, something which is lacking from the main current westminster parties. Labour is the closest to match my own aspirations, I have found the Labour campaign to be a lot more positive. LibDems and Tories have been a bit wet, Nick Clegg is trying to stay relevant knowing he is likely to lose is seat. David Cameron got a kick up bum and put a rocket up his backside.
Really the point I am making is Labour are the only party to be offering young students, professionals, workers a better future. Something the other have failed ot realise.
Originally I did not intend to vote at all, but for all its faults I think Labour still has some decent people among its ranks that genuinely want to improve the lot of the disabled, ill, poor and disadvantaged.
Whereas the Tories seem determined to reward the rich even more with tax cuts, punish the disabled and ignore uncivilised practices like ZHC's.
Under the Conservatives we have a growing economy, record levels of employment, and jobs being created. Under Milliband HSBC will just be the first of many companies to relocate and take those jobs with them. When he finds that his spending commitments outstrip what he is collecting we will see increased inflation, more borrowing, weakening currency, unemployment will stop falling and eventually increase and people will be worse off in the long term.
That is why I voted for a local party called it's our county for the local election. Not sure if they will make a difference, but after meeting a few of their candidates while doing a video shoot, I tend to agree with a lot of what they say.
All our council is doing is building more road, which they need to build more houses to pay for it, so then we get more cars on the road, so the roads become gridlock again. This city comes to a standstill in the afternoon and evening.
Also the closure of the toilets, most have been closed, not a good way to get tourist in. The old city centre are losing shops, a lot have gone to the new shopping centre, after we was told that it would not happen, more tory lies.
So it is time for a change and I hope IOC gets in and can do that.
It is time for a change nationally as well, time for Labour and Tories to go and lets get another party in, sadly this country are stuck with voting for either Tories or labour. Been a two party system for years and will carry on that way.
says the poster who thinks that those in receipt of Housing Benefit are 'scroungers'
Because I don't believe in a a large controlling Government, I would prefer more private companies being responsible for creating jobs because that strengthens the economy, rather than just employing 100,000 civil servants (who will be axed again once a new Tory Govt. comes into power). Because the country has just entered a phase of stability and economic growth and I think it is right for Britain that it should continue. Because I would like to see less people dependent on benefits and more dependent on themselves. Because I am more a liberalist rather than a socialist. Because Ed Balls isn't in the Tory Party.
Probably the local party as I don't like the Conservatives and I don't like the Lib Dem candidate
