Of course you don't have to give reasons but given you apparently saw the candidates, thought everything through and what you heard solidified your view that voting Labour was the best idea you must have some vague idea why?
As it is right or wrong it just comes across that you are living up to my tongue in cheek post regarding voting for a vomit covered turd so long as it has the right rosette which is of course your right but please do correct me. Doesn't need debating skills to simply list what concerns you that you think Labour do better, and I couldn't care less really how you vote or what you say it's quite obvious where Newcastle was going to go anyways and it is your vote to use how you please. Just a bit of a shame if you're using something so important so apparently lightly

Sorry I just don't know what to say really....but I will try
When I went to the meeting and saw the local candidates I really didn't believe in the Conservative one had to say, he spoke out a lot about regeneration/growth and about a trying to change our local town from a "ghost town" and into a thriving area (which it used to be) but it just seemed like he was just going through the motions and when he was questioned about policing he just seemed to deter the question to another path which annoyed me.
The Lib Dem bloke used to work for the council and well is a tit with no ideas of his own and is too young for the job (even younger than me) so he was a no-no.
And the Labour man spoke about the things they had actually done and are doing for the community. He spoke about reducing crime and attracting business and I just believe in him more.
On a national scale:-
Labour - I believe in them more and I believe the economy will get better under them.
Conservatives - Have some good idea's but I think they are lying through their back teeth and if they get in power will ruin the country. Dodgy Dave is just a **** and if they had a better leader i'd think about it.
Lib Dems - Live in a world of their own.
I hope I have at least explained erm some reasons why I will vote Labour and though I have many more reasons I just can't think of them at this moment.
