Party Politics

Who Should You Vote For?

Who should I vote for?

Your expected outcome:

Labour


Your actual outcome:




Labour 25
Conservative -27

Liberal Democrat 52
UK Independence Party -3

Green 41


You should vote: Liberal Democrat

The LibDems take a strong stand against tax cuts and a strong one in favour of public services: they would make long-term residential care for the elderly free across the UK, and scrap university tuition fees. They are in favour of a ban on smoking in public places, but would relax laws on cannabis. They propose to change vehicle taxation to be based on usage rather than ownership.

Take the test at Who Should You Vote For

Well that was pretty conclusively Lib Dem but as I've seen a lot now where the person expects to be Labour and it comes out Lib Dem so I'm wondering if it's biased towards them. I'm quite pleased that such a high percentage is for the Greens as I am debating whether to vote for my Green candidate Adrian Ramsey.

He was born and brought up in Norwich and has been as active local campaigner since he was 16. He has a first class degree in Politics from UEA.

We'll see over the next few days...

yeah, if it was just a local election I'd vote for him too for those reasons, and the random fact that I grew up with his sister! Don't really know her now, but just makes you feel like you know the person more!

Why are reasons like born/brought up/educated in the area relevant? It puts me off voting for local people purely because they might never have experienced anything different or bring fresh ideas. And passion for an area doesn't necessarily only come from being born there!

they're not relevant to it really. I just feel like if I know the person a bit, I might be able to trust them more. But that doesn't always happen these days either.
I'm not voting for him anyway ;)
