Default How Do You Decide Which Candidate...

you will vote for? Do you listen to the Debates? Do you research online? Do you put a lot of effort in finding out what the Candidate is about?

If I vote, I usually just vote my ticket. None of them are worth a damn. They all have their own agenda and it usually doesn't benefit people like me.

I vote on party policy alone since the UK system is to vote in a party rather than a candidate. I'll listen to debates and what they have to say but unfortunately the two biggest parties are both so centre right (Labour should be traditionally left wing!!) there is no choice.

I don't follow Politics anymore and haven't voted for prolly 10 years or more. I simply tired of picking the lesser evil when it came to candidates so unless I truly like one particular politician (which is extremely rare), I don't vote.

I also don't blame my plight on the current Political Party as I waive my right to do so by not voting and I realize this. AFAIC, none of them really do much in the way of good without balancing it with healthy portions of bad. I can find things I agree and disagree with in all candidates so it comes down to who's packaged the half truths the neatest.
