If this is against the rules or anything please remove it.

If you don't want to give it away then you don't have to vote!

I myself am a Lib Dem (and unashamedly pro-EU above everything else)

i've only been eligible to vote for the past two elections and i voted for a different party each time

i'll just go with whoever suits me best each election rather than stay loyal to just one tbh

This. I don't feel particularly enamoured toward either major party, but looking at them both, the Tories (in their current state) are closer aligned to my views (in their current state).

I'd never join a party, I vote based on policies and, in the last election, Labour simply had the best policies while the Tories were wishy washy and continued their usual sctick of going after the vulnerable and disadvantaged.

Who knows who I'll support in the next election, it depends on what party has the most to offer me. I've got no loyalty to any of them and that's the way I believe things should be.

I presently support Labour but that's not fixed in stone. I was previously LD but the coalition stopped my support. I do though, listen to all political reasoning and I take a keen interest in political ideologies. Neoliberalism is particularly interesting atm because once you understand its concept, you can see what it did right and where its now going wrong.

Because they're only available to what 5% of the voting public?

I've always had the impression that you're quite a deep thinker and that you explore all your options carefully. :pipe2:

Member of The Green Party, since I genuinely support the politics and feel they deserve my support. However, I have voted Labour at each election, and I am very passionate about Corbyn.

Quite a fan of basic human rights, so anyone but the tories, would have voted labour last election if i'd have been in the UK, but i think my support would lie more with the greens in terms with agreeing with policies

I think the Greens are fantastic. Labour really do listen to the Green economists who imo are very good. Richard Murphy of the Green party writes some wonderful daily blogs. You should look him up.

By 'suits you best', does that mean what suits your way of thinking for the Britain as a whole or does it mean what personally benefits you?

I've been a Labour member since the election loss in 2015.

Have voted Green at council level though, and for an independent (which was my first ever vote and was one of a majority of about 20 that lost the Tory council leader his seat and their overall control :smug: but they've since taken it back...so...)

I don't have any affiliations for any of the main parties. I've voted Lib Dem and Labour in the past but find both parties unacceptable at the moment. I'd probably never vote lib dem again after the students fiasco and their undemocratic stance on Brexit. I've also voted green before but they sold out on Brexit after being pro brexit before they were bribed. So never again.

What that vote does demonstrate is what many have said before that this forum has a left-wing bias - mainly due to a predominance of young members.

Popular opinion does not mean bias. The age divide between right and left wing voters wasnt even that significant in the last election anyway.
