Well, I can't contribute to the poll as it's a U.S. only thing, but when i vote, I try to see who will be the representative of my views in parliament and who'll do the best job for my area. I like to then follow them up the line to see where they're coming from party/policy-wise.

It can be a tough choice. As a home owner and small business owner, one party or candidate may be the best choice, while as a musician and socially resposible person, another might be the better option.

I cannot see any rational reason for voting a particular way because "I always have" or, "my family is democrat/republican/communist".
I also think the lines are so blurry that it's not nearly a 180 degree shift to vote for opposed two-party preffered parties in consecutive elections. At least here it's not.

EDIT: George Clinton for Paliament!
