John Fortune
Probably. What else is there to do?
Francine Stock
Ask me in a year’s time.
Tim Rice
A resounding no. Not on your nelly!
Philip Kerr
Yes, because the alternative looks so ridiculous – I can’t abide the thought of William Hague being prime minister.
Bel Mooney
Yes, because (a) any government needs a second term to give it a fair go, and (b) although there have been disappointments, the government still has its heart in the right place, and I admire cabinet ministers like Jack Straw.
John Mortimer
Owing to the unfortunate demise of Screaming Lord Sutch, there is no reasonable alternative, so I would have to vote Labour.
Derek Draper
Of course. But I would like to see a new manifesto including a commitment to equality, now that we have proved that we can not only win but govern well.
Ben Pimlott
I would vote Labour, as the party that has created the opportunity for major economic redistribution – and could yet surprise us all by seizing it.
Carla Lane
Yes, because the Conservatives have absolutely no feelings at all for the animal welfare people in this country, and Labour tolerates them.
Lisa Jardine
Yes I would, because there’s been a sea-change in attitude to education.
Oliver James
Yes, in the hope that a second term will deliver a socialist government.
Tariq Ali
No. The Blair project is a continuation of Thatcherism.
Charles Glass
If I were a billionaire, sold weapons to Indonesian killers, were cashing in on privatising schools and prisons, had secrets to keep about illegal trading, benefited from genetically engineered food sales or received tobacco sponsorship, I would, of course, vote Labour. As a mere citizen, I cannot.
Kate Atkinson
Yes. It would be hard to change now.
Lauren Booth
Yes, but I don’t approve of their sneaking in the privatisation of several housing benefit agencies and banging on about caring for the excluded. It’s not funny and it’s not clever.
Tony Parsons
Yes, because we’re effectively a one-party state now, and there is no reasonable alternative.
Victoria Glendinning
Yes, I would, even though I am disillusioned, disappointed and worried.
Simon Heffer
No. I object to the speed of constitutional change that Labour is embarking on.
Howard Marks
No, because of their disastrous drugs policy.
David Starkey
I could never vote Labour after Callaghan; 1979 was the nadir of Britain.
Charlotte Raven
No. I don’t see why I should.
Antonia Fraser
I would still vote Labour if there were an election tomorrow.
