Those who support or lean towards the Labour Party, why?

[dbgtz]

I'm just curious from that other thread why people support Labour. I can't quite understand why people do to be honest and nobody has ever really made it clear, so I decided to make a thread. Not looking for a debate of any kind, just an explanation. I figured now would be the best time since the debate has passed.

i just like labour. like considering before september i didn't know who ed miliband even was and i know everything i do from doing politics and reading the news i just seem to have leaned towards that party. i have also been taught in a way that makes me hate the conservatives lol? my teacher is a lib dem though so i don't think he is or would he try to do that. i like the values that labour stand for and i think they should be given a chance in this general election to prove how much they have changed since blair/brown.

i personally find ed miliband brilliant lol which is like so so unpopular of an opinion i just think he's such a people person, clearly genuine and does actually have w/c interests at heart, which cameron clearly does not. i think he did great in that programme the other day and handled paxman well although clearly becoming frustrated at the **** that paxman was giving out as per. he's well mannered clearly in his approach to answering questions and although does lack in his ability to be taken seriously and answer WELL he certainly tries.

if we were left with another conservative government/coalition i would be deeply disappointed they have made a mess

Do you know about the recent history of the party?

[Kardan]

Because it's not the conservatives, and it's not run by Nick Clegg and voting for the other parties is a waste of time?

I can see this thread being "Ed seems like a nice guy" with no actual basis for why you'd vote labour.....!!

[The Don]

I'm voting for Labour because I don't want the conservatives to get in.

How did the Conservatives and Lib Dems get in? Because people didn't want Labour to get in again.

The merry-go-round of political idiocy just keeps spinning!

Sorry for exercising my right to vote, douche.

Edit: Just wanted to add, what a ridiculously arrogant and self-righteous attitude you have. I don't want the conservatives to get in because I quite like being in the EU and they want to have a referendum on that. Labour are pro-europe. And people voted Lib Dems because of their policies, not to stop labour from getting in so your example of 'political idiocy' is completely wrong.

Well why didn't you say so? You make yourself sound like a moron when in actual fact you've got a good reason!

I genuinely detest anyone (not aimed at you Akeam) who is just voting so they can stop X party getting in.

You should vote the party whose policies and MPs you support, not one which you're only going to use tactically IMO
