I will be voting for Labour. I have been financially better off since they came to power. The Labour Party is more caring, with a focus on people as individuals. The Conservatives' policies are selfish - "I'm all right Jack". Education facilities and resources, and care for older people, have improved dramatically under Labour.

I have always been a Labour voter, but I would have considered voting for someone else if they had more sophisticated policies on older people. There should be political recognition that many grandparents - some in poverty - are looking after their grandchildren. I don't like or trust Tony Blair.

I would worry about the fate of the new disability discrimination legislation if the government isn't re-elected. It moves towards the comprehensive civil rights anti-discrimination legislation that the 1995 act, a Conservative mish-mash, failed to deliver.

I intend to vote tactically for the Lib Dems - a vote for Labour would be wasted in my constituency. My organisation have begun to forge a good relationship with Labour ministers over social inclusion and accommodation. The progress we have made, for the benefit of all of society, would be set back 40 years if the Tories win.
