    Given I wouldn't know one local candidate from another i'll just exclude the usual parties & strange individuals & carve the votes up from whats left based on parties.

    Combo of person/party for Euro/National.

    It goes further than your poll for me, Shelsman (although I voted anyway). I'll vote using different strategies for different elections. In the London Mayor election on Thursday, I voted for the candidate, whereas in the London Assembly and European Parliament elections, I used my vote as a protest against the policies of the incumbent government (although in the case of the EP elections, I'll admit this was reductionist in that national concerns were projected onto an election where such concerns have little impact/relevance). Come the General Election (which here in the UK is forecast for next year) I'll be voting aspirationally again, for the party which most mirrors my view of how the country should be governed.

    Along Party lines for me (and hopefully along the lines of the next Government ), although the preferences for individual candidates depends on what they have done.
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
