I feel old, but I first voted in the 1987 general election. I voted LibDem then, but solely because they had more of a chance of beating the incumbent Tory MP than Labour. I was pretty left wing then, and remain on that side of the political spectrum, mainly because one of my fundamental beliefs is that the quality of a society should be judged on how it treats the least fortunate members of society. I can't envisage a situation where voting for the Tories would be my best option for addressing that.
From a selfish perspective, I worry about the future of my children and feel it is my duty to try and improve society for them and their generation.
