Do you vote for the party or the individual candidate?

I tend to vote for the individual rather than the party which means I switch parties quite often. There are certain political parties that I would never vote for, having said this. I have some long term friends who are rusted on Labor supporters who never,ever change even though their candidate may be known to be useless. We avoid the subject, needless to say.

rapid capitalism of the Conservative party very descriptive, but am not so sure about mindless socialism of the Labour party. To my mind at the moment there’s very little between them so the initial description fits both. Thus the status quo will remain.

The two party system needs reform. I do agree with MOnica about manifesto promises.

My constituency is solid Tory so how I vote is irrelevant really, but I will still vote, possibly Green for the first time ever.
