Labour has made such a shambles of the economy that I can’t see how anyone would want to vote for them. Every time there’s been a Labour government in the past we’ve ended up in debt – and this time we’ve ended up in catastrophic debt.

I admire Nick Clegg, I think he has a fabulous personality, but I don’t support Lib Dem policies. I don’t want to lose the pound and I don’t want to give illegal immigrants British citizenship. Liberalism would lead to a breakdown of national boundaries.

We’re proud to be British in this country and I don’t want to lose that.

I’ll be voting Conservative this time, as I have done for the last few elections.
