No, I am not naturally aligned to any political party.
I choose to give my vote to who ever I feel is best set to represent my core values.
If there is no one, then I walk down to the polling station and draw on my ballot paper, or write none of the above.
I have never missed doing the walk. I would hate anyone to think that I couldn't be bothered.
I suppose that given my background(large family, poverty, illness in the family) it would be easy to assume that Labour would be my choice...but I vote only after very careful consideration of what the person asking for my vote is actually worth.
Our current representative leaves a lot to be desired. It appears that his political career is more important that the wishes of the people he is supposed to.represent.

It is academic really, even if we had a superb representative, I would not vote for them because the Labour Party has really lost its way.
