UKIP, lol

Mostly Liberal, then Labour, though it really depends on the individual constituency, of course. Probably more sympathetic to Labour in opposition than in government. No sense in going too far back; I wouldn't have been enfranchised.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

My current economic status means that I would only have had the vote since 1918. In terms of partisan preference I'm afraid that I happen to be extremely boring - I would have voted Labour in every single election.

[You kip if you want to...]

1924 - Ramsay MacDonald (Labour)
1929 - Ramsay MacDonald (Labour)
1931 - Ramsay MacDonald (National Labour)
1935 - Clement Attlee (Labour)

1987 - Neil Kinnock (Labour)
1992 - Neil Kinnock (Labour)
1997 - Tony Blair (Labour)
2001 - Tony Blair (Labour)
2005 - Tony Blair (Labour)
2010 - Gordon Brown (Labour) Despite how much i'm at odds with the national party, no way do I want Cameron as PM and plus, I'd probably be voting more for my MP (who is safe next year) than for the party/Maybe Green..., Labour's gonna lose either way.

Oh, and yes, i'm quite a hack for Labour. :/

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Would have been able to vote from 1832 onwards... Assuming the constituency I am in is the same as now (South Dublin) then I might have voted for the Whigs (as opposed to the O'Connellites who I would have distrusted) at least from the beggining. In the 1840s I would probably be involved in plotting insurrection so I wouldn't vote (though I would have tried to back the chartists). This would probably continue until the 1860s when I would strongly support Parnell and the Home Rulers until the party split in the 1890s where I would back the Parnellite faction though with increasing reservations - I would support the liberals on the mainland though (but again with reservations). I'm unsure how I would have voted in 1918 (all choices really, really suck) - the Unionists still got a significant vote here by that time. After that o/c South Dublin doesn't exist as a UK constituency and most of time I would split between Labour and Liberal. Something like this:

1924 - Liberal
1929 - Labour
1931 - Communist (just because)
1935 - Liberal
1945-  Labour
1950 - Labour
1951 - Labour
1955 - Labour
1959 - Labour
1964 - Labour
1966 - Liberal
1970 - Labour
1974 (F) - Labour
1974 (N) - Labour
1979 - Whichever party in my constituency was most likely to defeat the Tories
1983 - SDP (though I admit I do have a soft spot for Michael Foot, well... a soft spot as far as politicians go)
1987 - SDP
1992 - Labour
1997 - Liberal Democrats from here onwards.

This assumes o/c that I would vote in every election. Which I doubt (the 1930s really did suckage in that regard). Also o/c I'm viewing this from the national angle, but what I thought of my local MP may things different.

One last note: In Ireland given my social status and my religion it is probable in reality that I would have been a whig/liberal until 1885; and a tory/unionist there after until 1922 at least. Then in the UK Labour on most occasions until recently and the NILP until they were extinguished in Northern Ireland.

[Hash]
