I am not voting for Labour or Con…

Sorry, forgot to mention DP (who is a small boat) will also be voting Reform.

There's a theme of vote Labour, women's rights to dignity, privacy, safety and fairness are less important than anything else. Just vote Labour. Yeah , don't like what they are selling. If that's the Labour stance now , goddess knows what shit they'll serve up to women and girls if they get in.

So you are voting for conservative then. Labour are not perfect but you have to think of the least worse option. No other party will win.

I am a Labour MP. I will be voting Reform.

Well @Screamingabdabz the Tory part and their policies have slapped me down with their policies - so I hope you don't mean them! The implementation of many of their policies have disproportionately impacted women

Which party will defend and support the safety and rights of girls and women? That’s who I will vote for.

Vote for the candidate not the party

Please vote @EddyF.

Find a smaller party or local Independent candidate that mostly fits your ideas and beliefs. Even if they don't win, your vote may help get your voice heard and their deposit back.

Voter apathy only benefits the status quo and the UK needs change.

It’s instructive that UKIP came third in the popular vote and got 12.6% but only got a single seat - whatever you think of them, it shows how a significant minority can be denied representation by our shit system.
I reckon if UKIP had been admitted to parliament they may well have been shown up for what they are and averted the referendum entirely.

UKIP only ever won seats in by elections where erstwhile Tory MPs defected. I can’t see Reform ever winning any in a GE either. They’re useful idiots in splitting the Tory vote though.

It will depend on where the votes are cast - most likely they will be most popular in Tory areas like UKIP in 2015 when they got 12.6% of votes (third after Tory and Labour) but only retained one seat in parliament.

I'm going reform or an independent. Don't trust the big parties anymore.

Hopefully the reform vote will be large enough to get rid of enough Tories that they don't win the GE.

A lot more than that. I believe they’ve already overtaken the Lib Dem’s. No apparently about it! You might not like it but I don’t like Cons or Labour.

Tories have done a pretty good job of increasing taxes for ordinary people from Thatcher onwards, just vaguely saying a Labour government would cost us more in tax is delusional bollocks that's so far out of line with what actually happens that it won't wash any more.
About the only thing the Tories have been effective at is pretending to one thing ("tax cutting") whilst doing the opposite and getting the gullible to ignore it.

I would never base my voting preferences at a GE on my local representative's. They have to do what their party asks or they cease to be in that party. Much better to vote for the manifesto that aligns closest to what you want for the country, than to pin all hopes on a nice chap or chapess.

It’s a tough one. I don’t really align with Labour, and I wouldn’t have been able to look myself in the mirror had I voted to put BoJo in No 10. So I voted Lib Dem. Our boundaries in my county have recently changed and I’ve been bumped over to a constituency who actually has a really good Tory MP. He’s really involved and I’ve been to public meetings where he has addressed issues I care about and has been working hard for his constituents. Now that I’m in his constituency, I think I’ll vote for him. I told my husband I liked the MP but not necessarily the party, but he reminded me that Labour will probably take the majority and it’s good to have a strong opposition.

I dont know who to vote for either. I want to vote because of the suffragettes but there is only those 2 who have any chance of getting in. Perhaps the Raving loony party. Not Lib Dem or the Green party. Its so annoying. They are all useless. Has it ever been this bad before?.

Where are they going to find the money to exempt all healthcare front line staff earning less than £50k from income tax? Do you have any concept of what that would cost? Pie in the bloody sky.

Personally, I'm all for it. Reform dilutes the right-wing vote in the same way that voting Green/SNP/etc dilutes the left-wing vote.

Ridiculous as it sounds, Reform's existence actually levels the playing field a bit and makes it more likely that Labour will win.

Several people on this thread apparently.

who is going to vote for reform?

Not a Tory bot, thanks. They don’t deserve any more time in office either. Just not everyone thinks Labour will be able to solve anything. And they’ll make some other things worse. And it will cost us all more in tax for the pleasure.

The Tory bots out force on this thread... 'there's no difference' and 'Labour won't be any better'.
How could Labour be any worse? They might have more integrity for a start. They might not crash the economy or they might invest in public services instead of cutting them as the Tories would do if they were fortunate to wish the next election.

Not trying to win - just amazed anyone can be so politically naïve ...
