Voting Intentions since the Spending Review

kabayiri

All this talk of parties and principles makes me laugh.

MPs and parties with principles :-
- don't get caught milking expenses
- don't try and redefine voting boundaries as soon as they get chance
- don't create jobs for their mates in unelected quangos
- don't promote 'worthies' from their party into house of lords cushyville.

The lucky thing going for them is most of the public really don't care.

I am a floating voter and won't know who I will vote for in the next election until it gets closer to the next election, whatever the results of the CSR. I voted Tory this time and while I don't like everything they do I think they are right in making cuts. I'm probably closest philisophically to what was the Liberal Party prior to alliance with the SDP.

Better dead than red. Torys again and again. I wrote a letter to George Osborne 3 years ago at the start of the credit crunch and I am made up he has pretty much enacted every point.

Cant get better than that.

I voted Lib Dem and will be voting Labour for the foreseeable future.

I've always voted Tory,which has been the best part of 40 years and I'm proud to admit that.
I did'nt vote for this lot though,I have no confidence in them and personally I feel they're going to fall flat on their smug little extreme right wing faces.
They've been too radical and people are going to suffer,and not just the benefit brigade.
When I read these boards I do just wonder who voted for Labour so may times in the previous elections as everyone seems to condemn them so much.

I doubt it. 3 years ago he was still committed to match Labour spending.

Probably your letter went straight into the bin.

I voted Conservative....and will vote Conservative again. I could never vote for Labour with their "make everyone equal" policy - hard work and enterprise should be rewarded not brought down to the lowest common denominator.

I say this as a benefit claimant, one who will probably be hit a fair amount...but I knew cuts needed to be made, savage cuts at that for this country to be able to rebuild their finances. If I had been still in a two income family, we would still have been hit as we would have been over the amount for child benefit (we had already worked our way out of tax credits). The utopia of forever increasing benefits available to everyone had to stop at some point..the country just cannot afford it and it impacted on everything around us (house prices included as tax credits were taken into account for a mortage by a fair few providers at peak)

My eldest son is another who will vote Conservative - he is a member of what used to be known as the young conservatives.
