I don't always vote in general elections, but I think I've always voted Labour.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't vote. I voted Labour once, in that moment of euphoria. I know that if people only made a voice for change, then change will happen, but I'm not that person. I'm painting pictures.
People know where I stand in the Labour party and what I believe in.
When I joined Labour in 1982, I didn't feel I belonged to a party born to power. My repeated experience was of bitter and repeated defeats.
I'm not a political thinker, but I've just always thought of myself as a Labour supporter. I was a great fan of Tony Blair. He sent me a letter before I swam the Channel to wish me luck.
I didn't come into politics to change the Labour Party. I came into politics to change the country.
I do vote but I don't think that any political party represents my point of view.
I always tried to do what I believed is right and I've always voted the way that I believe was the right way for my constituency, and that's what I'm doing when I govern.
I've voted in every election - not always for the same political party and never with any degree of enthusiasm.
I vote in every general election, but I'm not a party member or an ideologue. I've never told anyone who I've voted for.
I have considered voting Conservative because I am so against the Labour party.
