The problem here is the our local MP is labour but very good on a local front. He is vocal and active on local issues and seems to really care about his constituents.
I however do not wish to vote for the larger picture of the Labour Party. I voted Green in the last local elections after being let down by the Lib Dems in the coalition and finding I agreed with more of the Green policies than any other party.
I like the option of "none of the above" on the ballot sheet as I feel voting is my duty (FFS people died so I could vote) but I'm finding it harder to work out who to vote for.
I like some of the Green's policies but I di not think for one minute they would be a good party to have as a majority government. The country would be economically ruined in no time.
That said I think they would make a fine coalition partner to keep Labour or the Conservatives honest.
Trouble is they would find themselves in the same political wilderness Clegg does now in 5 years time if they did end up in a coalition.
Just did the Vote for Policies survey linked earlier on.
Turns out I'm mostly Green then equal Red and Yelllow. Blue last. It would seem my constituency feels the same way.
Really interesting but time consuming as you do have to read all the policies, like you should when thinking of voting!
I was 50% labour, and 10% the rest, including supporting the BNP education policy! 😳
Be interesting to do that again with up to date policies

Something about lentils?
Lentils are good. Cheap protein. Less meat is required.
but time consuming
doesn't take as much time as most people spend complaining about political parties though 😉
I followed the links on the Vote for Policies survey to see the results in my constituency and then the results from the last GE. 28% Green, 20% Labour, 16% LibDem, 13% Tory, 11% UKIP & 10% BNP on the surveys but the GE result was 46% Tory, 41% LibDem & 7% Labour.
There was no Green candidate last time around and the survey results will be biased because it's a Guardian survey. Not too many dyed in the wool Torys are going to be reading that rag.
I have never tied myself to a party but 50% lab, 25% BNP and 25% UKIP is both incongruous and scary. 😯
Admittedly it was speed reading. 50% to fruitcakes???
I have to admit as a lefty, the greens may be getting my vote this time around. Yes they have some bat shit crazy ideas, but so do the rest of them!! Theirs don't seem as bat shit crazy in a harmful way.
at this rate Farage will be losing Thanet to a fictional pub landlord.
Oh and whilst we are on tired overused stuff on stw.... Wunnundred! 😀
