You'll never find a political party that is completely in harmony with your views. It is a case of voting for the party that most closely reflects your own outlook.

Forget newspaper scare stories, personality politics, selective statistics and base your voting decision on your personal knowledge, the personal knowledge of those you know and other reliable information.

For example, I keep reading about the 'NHS in crisis', but have yet to meet anyone whose personal experience of the NHS is anything other than positive.

I also read about 'all politicians being in it for their own ends', but find my own MP to be hard working and very helpful. Others I know speak similarly of their own experiences with their own MP.

Crime is supposedly 'out of control', but the National Crime Survey (which asks people about their personal experiences of crime) shows that crime is falling.

Do a bit of homework.
