I nearly posted this in another thread but thought it might be worth a discussion of its own.

How do you decide who to vote for in national and local elections? Do you consider yourself a supporter of any particular party and does this mean you always vote for them?

I generally vote Conservative because in general terms the Conservative party matches my outlook: smaller State, greater emphasis on individual graft, mutual assistance within communities rather than a mouth-open, eyes-shut insistence that the State must 'look after' us.

However I have voted something other than Conservative on a number of occasions, sometimes to register a protest at the Party's behaviour at specific times (I voted for the Referendum Party in 1997 and will vote UKIP at every opportunity up to and, possibly, including the 2015 general election).
