    Probably Labour with the present system, but I might try The Green Party then Labour 2nd with AV.

    I see no reason to change my Lib Dem vote.

    Labour, without a doubt. The sooner this nasty, unpleasant government is turfed out, the better.

    Other - as I'll probably have no choice as things are at the moment to vote for anyone but instead spoil my ballot paper.

    It would have been nice to differentiate the "Other" category as that includes parties like the Greens, UKIP, SNP & Plaid in no particular order.

    I am surprised though that the level of Liberal Democrat support is holding up so well in the DS poll especially after all the treachery and betrayal of the poor, disabled, students, etc.

    Probably they read the manifesto and aren't students.

    You mean all those things we had to compromise as we're in a coalition.

    I think a number of Lib Dem voters understand that a stronger Lib Dem party would mean more compromising going our way ;)

    Norman Baker put it well on Channel 4 news the other night, if we weren't in a coalition we would have implemented the Lib Dem manifesto in full (give or take the odd item, and over the course of the parliament).

    I picked other and would vote for the Green Party. I think we need a move to the Left away from the failed policies of the Right.

    I did it like this for simplicity, there are many other parties and it would have been a very long list.

    It would be useful to do another poll say, around December time once the cuts are beginning to bite to see what FMs think then. Then, we can see if any trends may or may not develop.

    Labour ( I think I might have selected a different option on the poll by mistake due to slip of the mouse, I'm not sure. Therefore, have asked admin if my vote can be reversed and I can vote for the option I meant to vote for which is labour)

    I'd vote Labour.

    Does 'Other' include a coalition party if it came to that option again. ?

    I can't quite work out if your post above is simply sublime genius but I'll give a straight bat answer....

    I follow politics quite closely but I must admit I missed the option last time ;)

    is there a "anyone but labour" option?
  • AiramAiram Posts: 6,764

    Holyrood - SNP

    Westminster - Labour or SDP, if they broke away from the LDs and had a trustworthy leader of some experience and merit..

    Not sure how people come to the conclusion that this board is a Tory love-in based on the poll results so far...
