I like your style. It will be as bloody as they want it to be. Jump on your funeral pyre squire!

I have nearly always voted Labour, except when occasionally there was a left wing candidate standing. I did vote LibDem at the last General Election just to give New Labour a dig, and also because at least the LibDems opposed the war on Iraq. Won't be voting for them again as they have now a policy to privatise (51%) of Royal Mail. Will probably vote for any Left candidate or Green if there is one, if the only choice is between the 3 main parties, I won't be voting for any of them, but will probably spoil my vote to show that it is not just due to apathy.

It's just shame the poll wasn't 'What will you be voting next election?'

Quoting the above bit, not to single it out as such, but to point out that voting is a very simple thing. You put an X where you want. If enough people just voted for who they actually wanted, instead of thinking, "well, I would vote Lib-Dem/ Green /whatever, but they wont get in" then you never know, your choice might actually get in because there's a shed-load of others doing exactly the same as you.

As for the original question - would I vote Labour? I'd rather stick a red hot fork up my arse. This bunch of bastard who claim to be "Left" are nowt but a bunch of scheming bastards who are out to not only smash the CWU and the postal service, but are selling off huge amounts of the NHS to private companies... and they still haven't repealed the Anti-Union Laws, so f**k 'em, because they're f***ing us royally.

At least the Lib Dems have said they'd tax the rich more... which gets my vote. And I'm a life long socialist and former labour voter btw.

Gave up my Labour party membership 3 years ago and will not be renewing it. These hypocritical twats, really are taking the piss. How far can you get your snout in the trough before you drown? Not much further, hopefully for some.
Already decided that a spoiling cross will go through my ballot paper, as this political system is rotten to the core.

But i will vote to end our political levy to the labour party.
