My vote was to get rid of the local Labour MP.
My vote did not go to the BNP candidate, it went to an independant who didn't do as well as I hoped. I don't think the Independent candidate would have been very good as our MP, but it was all about voting Labour out.
I was surprised that Conservative did as well as they did in my area, although they were still miles behind Labour. With the high levels of people on benefits and the 16 hour a week workers topped up with credits in these valleys, Labour have many fans here.
