I don't vote blindly for any particular party.

I have always given my vote to left leaning parties with the one being closest to the right being LibDems who are obviously centre of the scale or left centre but since Jeremy Corbyn has been the Labour Leader, I have become a Labour Member.

My roots are here in industrial South Wales where all my family have worked in tough, physically demanding jobs and their quality of life was and is extremely low compared to the directors who would take your last tenner if you offered it - of course I'm not going to vote for any party on the right. The Tory government in particular has donors from multi millionaires and billionaires alike. These are the people who could not give a care how the wider society is being run, as long as their pockets are lined and that no-one encroaches on their Eden.
