"New to voting who to vote for? In the next GE" If that's a serious question, then you have three workable options: (1) The party you believe in the most. Decide which party reflects your values and under which you (or your country) will do the best in the short and long term. Vote for them. (2) The party most likely to have a chance of winning in your area who would form a government you'd like or prevent a government you wouldn't like. Google "tactical voting". (3) The party most likely to challenge the incumbent party (or the second most likely to win). That makes your area a "swing constituency"and prevents it from being a "safe seat". This makes the MPs worth harder and promise (haha) more in other to get/keep votes. Although more powerful in the US states, this stratagem has utility in the UK. | |||

"Whoever you vote for unfortunately a politician will win, and they're all bastard's Incompetent at best, corrupt at worst " @halima - whilst this may be true, it's unhelpful to think of it in this way. Rather, think: they may all be bastards, but someone will get in, and *I* can decide which bastard is best for me. Moreover, you can join a political party and get *your* bastard into power. Those few who take this seriously actually run the country. The biggest lie is that you are powerless. And 95% of the country believes it. Just look at the power of pensioners. They go out and vote. Everyone knows this. So pensioners get a better deal. | |||

"New to voting who to vote for? In the next GE" Vote for the Tories. We want more brutal austerity, more tax dodging, more lucrative government contracts for their pals and for party donors, and more culture wars. Whatever you do, make sure to believe the slick election campaigns without question. And as a bonus come on to the political section of fab and bash anyone who dares to question the integrity of the government. Sorted. | |||

"I have three steps. One, whose manifestoost aligns with my views. Two, who do I believe will deliver or in power Three, is there a manifesto I would be very unhappy with/a party I don't trust to keep to their manifesto and could I vote in a way to keep them out. Normally three doesn't kick on as despite being left lib, I don't dislike the Tory manifesto enough to support a party I don't actually align best with. However I am close with this iteration of the Tory party, whose only redeeming feature is they don't seem to be able to actually do anything !" So you align with Tory ideology but find their actions don't add up.... But isn't it the thought that counts? | |||

I have pretty much no hope of any party beating the Tories without simply becoming a version of them. The only way a political party can get into power is by representing the interests of those who donate the most. | |||

It's probably true that they don't get quite the same levels of corporate funding but are working to address that by getting close to the big businesses and adopting conservative policies like cooperation tax and bankers bonuses. Yes the opposite of a Tory vote is not necessary a Labour vote but Labour are by far the most likely new government and as originally said they can achieve the same outcomes you mentioned as the conservatives | |||

"New to voting who to vote for? In the next GE" . With 14 years of success I will be staying with the Conservatives . The politics of spite and envy have little appeal.

"New to voting who to vote for? In the next GE" Well usually the electorate 'voters' vote on the policies 'theory' of the political parties and then vote for the political party that aligns with there own vision, but I fear this will not be the case at this election of a general, this one is free, politics is 180 degree opposite to how it is presented, ie if they say they are going to do something they will not do it and when they say they will not do something they will do it. | |||

Clearly much worse than anything else. | |||

They've been very successful at serving those who donate huge sums to the party. They and their pals made some serious £££. | |||
