It was only when I left and went to university two years later that I started to find out what kind of evil bigots the Tories were. I never even knew what Section 28 was until then.
I was voting conservative for a pretty long time. Until they turned from supporting a free market to supporting corporations and taking a shit on small businesses and people working hard for their living.
Nothing to be ashamed over. It all depends on the candidates and their programs. If the conservatives actually came up with someone and something that isn't millionaire only, I would vote for them again under certain circumstances.
To be honest I really did take it very seriously and I really did want to consider voting Labour. But all I knew was what my parents told me about old Labour in the 70's. Not that it would have made any difference either way because it was a safe seat. But I could have voted the Monster Raving Loony Party. They even came round to the 6th form college and campaigned once even though no one there was eligible to vote.
