It's a free country mate and a democracy..I vote Labour for my own reasons and im old enough and ugly enough to make up my own mind. Also neither will I try and change anyone's voting intentions or do I want anyone to try to change mine..and I certainly will never fall out with anyone for whatever party they choose to vote for.
And being the starter of this poll if anyone wants to put their reasons for their choice then feel free to do so but I'd appreciate if others didn't start decrying other people's choice or starting debates or arguements, there's the other forum for that..thanks

My vote won’t make much difference to Labour regaining Chesterfield and to be fair to Toby Perkins, I do think he is one of the better politicians within Labour.

What difference will Labour make given that the Tories have pledged to spend more on the NHS than Labour?

I like the look of UKIP's policies. Out of all the political parties theirs appeals to me most but the prospect of a Labour/SNP coalition would be nothing short of disastrous so I’ll still be voting Blue.

Long way to go before then, mate.
The last election made me realise that what motivates my/our generation politically doesn't necessarily motivate younger generations. In one sense the Left has been too successful for it's own good, with folk enjoying such a rise in working and living conditions over the last few decades the old class barriers appear to've been erased. True to a certain extent but make no mistake; the current government are intent on decimating public spending and driving back as much of the welfare and employment legislation ordinary people rely on as possible. All for ideological reasons, too.
The combination of a poor leader, weak campaign and relatively successful economy (though only after Osbourne abandoned the worst of his austerity measures and adopted the strategy Labour suggested in 2010 - the very policies the Tories claimed would bankrupt Britain!) saw the electorate vote in a 'better the devil you know' manner.
My guess is that a stronger Labour leader, one who can successfully expose the hypocrisies of Linton Crosby's spin machine, will see an entirely different climate at the next polling.
Oh, and by the way; don't be surprised to see our own Toby Perkins become far more prominent in the next Shadow Cabinet.

Anyone that looks like they can tackle both immigration and the coupled welfare benefits system will walk in. These 2 issues and the NHS drain are all folk seem to care about and their importance to the electorate will increase

Not sure there'll be room for TP in Corbyn's cabinet!
