A lot has happened since 2015 when Cameron got a second nod, But since then there has been the EU referendum talk, panama papers and *oink oink*. So if there was a general election tomorrow who will you be voting for?

The Green Party, because they seem sincere. I disagree with some of their policies because they're a bit naive, but they at least seem like they actually just want to run the country for the people. The party consists of fewer ungrounded snobs than most other parties.

Umm, just so you know; Natalie Bennett stood down as the Green Party's leader. They're holding an election for their new leader atm.

I think you ought to specify whether we are voting in a vacuum where constituencies don't matter. I live in a constituency which is currently held by a Conservative after being Lib Dem since it's creation. Labour, UKIP and Greens are irrelevant here.
Luckily for me (in terms of your poll), I would vote Lib Dem anyway since Labour has taken itself way off into the left. I also wouldn't consider voting Tory while it remains as right-wing as it is now.

I voted Tory in 2016 and would do so again now. Ask me again post-leadership election though.

Cameron is the only electable character. The rest are unelectable or far too left or right to suit a very centrist Britain.

I'd begrudgingly stay true to my roots and vote for Labour despite thinking Corbyn and Co. are morons. Not that it matters under FPTP as I live in a safe Tory seat and only vote on principle anyway.

Can I just ask why? I want to know why people still vote for the Tories, despite how much they constantly fail us /:

My essential view at the last election is that the Tories appealed to me more than any other party on their economic approach and somewhat on their foreign policy approach with only welfare really being bad enough for me to dislike it properly. Nothing as yet has really changed from the Tories albeit Labour have elected a joke of a leader, a radical extremist (i say this as somebody that is not properly loyal to the Tories at the current time).

Roots are one of the worst reasons to vote. What do you believe in? What policies make you wet yourself with excitement?

Seriously though I'd say I believe in Social Democracy, possibly 3rd way politics depending on how you gauge things. I'm sympathetic to Socialism in an ideal world but just don't see it as being viable.
I certainly don't adhere to the terrorist sympathising stance of the current Labour leadership circle.
