THIS is our final visit to five South Lakeland voters who started their journey to the election ballot box as ‘undecided’.

With just seven days to go, they have now firmed up their voting intentions.

 

HOTEL spa manager Peter Chadwick admits his vote is still swaying to Labour and feels a coalition government ‘just won’t work again’.

The Westmorland Gazette:

The 24-year-old from Haverthwaite said: “Labour’s policies would be the most beneficial to a prosperous United Kingdom and it would be the best party to create growth and structure within the UK.”
“I believe that a coalition government just won’t work again. All parties have such clashes and strong views in various sectors that it must be a one party strength that can provide its own rules and regulations and not have to battle or make-do with a shared government.”

 

RETIRED Kendal teacher Will Garnett says he’s heard that voting for the Green Party is like voting Tory because it would let the Conservatives in instead of the Liberal Democrats. 

The Westmorland Gazette:

“My reply is, I’m not voting for the Tories, I’m voting for change.” Will adds that  he feels very little has been heard about local issues during the campaign.

 

 

KIRKBY Lonsdale cafe owner John Strange believes that David Cameron ‘is still the best man for the job’.

The Westmorland Gazette:

John, who runs Crossing Point Cafe, feels the Tory leader ‘has his finger on the pulse’ much more than Labour’s Ed Miliband. 
He said Labour were ‘the epitome of dressing something up to make it seem better than it actually is’.
As a business owner, John believes that voting Conservative on May 7 is the only way to secure the economy for the future.

 

 

FOR Outdoor Studies student Chris Farran, 23, the weeks of following the General Election campaign will culminate with a Ukip vote on May 7.

The Westmorland Gazette:

“I’ve definitely settled on Ukip now - 100 per cent,” said Chris, a student in Ambleside.
“I like Nigel Farage because he seems to speak what I think about many things.
“It’s not just immigration.” 

 

 

RETIRED BBC manager Gilian Cleeve, of Cark-in-Cartmel, says Lib Dem Tim Farron ‘certainly deserves re-electing in local terms’ and she has supported his campaign by displaying one of his posters. 

The Westmorland Gazette:

But when it comes to preventing ‘catastrophic’ climate change, she says:
 “I probably have to put my hand up for the Green Party.”
