Voted ABC (anyone but conservative) since 1987..
That'd be a great one to keep going, but might not work so well over the net. Imagine the humiliation I would have felt after finding out you had nothing to do with Weston's beach line.
I do vote, but tactically, to get rid of politicians I can no longer tolerate. Voting Labour against the Tories was a pleasure.

hmm well, he wasn't that nationalistic, just a great rebel leader who happened to be Welsh.
Since I won the franchise in '99, I've lent my vote to a tory (euro election), a lib dem, an independent, a cornish nationalist (all locals) and, most recently, a couple of greens (euro and general).
Why did I vote tory you might ask. Answer is family tradition, and that they seemed like the only credible euro-sceptics on the ballot paper (european parliament). At the time, I hadn't realised how close the greens were to winning a seat - I'd assumed they were an extremely marginal party.

Following "The Tigers"
In general, euro and local elections, always labour since I was old enough in 1976. Union and pension funds I always vote for whom I see as the underdog. Now if there was a credible Green, that is where my heart would lie. In a 2 party sysyetm in which we are (and i probably help maintain by my voting patterns) see top of post.
First time I voted was a European Parliament election. I was 18 and enthusiastically voted. I voted for Keith Vaz, Labour Party (he didn't get it). I wasn't enthusiastic about him just voting.
I subsequently voted Labour in every local and national election until switching to Socialist Alliance and then RESPECT. Actually there was one local election where there was no Labour candidate. The LP phoned me to ask me to stand (I was in the SWP!). I spoiled my ballot paper by writing 'Socialist revolution' on it.

Voted Lib Dem at locals until this year when I spoiled 'cos I can't vote for any of the big three any more and there wasn't another option.
2001 GE I voted Lib Dem, 2005 Socialist Alternative.
2004 Euros was Green.
Proud to say I've never voted Labour

General Elections:
1992 - Plaid
1997 - Labour
2001 - Labour
2005 - Green
I'll vote for labour again when they pry that party democracy out of Blair or Brown's cold dead hand.
In my defence for 1997 and 2001, I was drunk a lot and taking drugs at the time and didn't know or think much about politics and was just motivated by a simplistic vote against the Tories, without really considering the consequences of voting nu-labour.

kinell, in 97 i voted labour, unhappily bt because we required a massive swing in our borough (we got it and vivian bendall, teh scumbag, was kicked out).
i don't think i voted in 2001, i think i couldn't face it. i voted libdem in 2005 as a vote against labour.
in various local and mayoral elections i've voted libdem, green, socialist alliance, spoilt my paper and voted for the comedy option. the only party i've ever voted for more than one has been libdems, which is somewhat scary.
i do tend to vote against rather than for, i guess because i really believe that voting is a pointless scrap-from-the-table and that all politicians should be publicly disembowelled.

Stay Alive in '25
I can't remember all the people I've voted for.
When I was very young and naive I voted Fine Gael, simply for the sake of voting.
Since then I've voted Green in the Euro elections, Irish Labour in the Irish Senate elections (with a second preference transfer to the CPI), for Eamonn McCann in the Euro elections in NI, and at the last Westminster elections for the stickies and for Militant in the locals.

My gut instinct will always be to vote Labour, but in practice they always tend to make that prohibitively hard.

No pasaran!
Voted Labour until the last election...there isn't much choice in Hammersmith & Fulham so I voted Lib Dem to fuck up Labour and the Tories got in.
