Who are you voting for?

The general feeling on social media is that the Tories will be obliterated in the upcoming GE. AIBU to not be surprised if they get voted in again?

I'll be voting Labour as I have always done.

Labour.

They've got to be better for the NHS than the Tories have been.

Unless it's a tactical vote, voting for any party beyond the big two seems a waste of vote

This is largely true in most areas. If you want a change, its a labour vote, if you are happy with how things are, conservative.

I might have to tactical vote lib dem due to where i live but am 100% behind Labour. If i think we've even a glimpse of a chance on the day i won't tactical vote

" Don't let perfect be the enemy of good"

But Labour are not any good either - the Labour Party of 2024 is unrecogniseable to me compared to the Labour Party that I grew up with in 70s and 80s

Guess you're voting Tory then as nobody would openly admit to doing so.

Rubbish. Never voted Tory and it's still none of your business.

Independent, left winger...because labour are just Tories really.

Yep they are 😐

Tactical
Whoever has the best chance, out of Labout, LibDem or Green, of getting the Tories out.

Greenleavesinthesun · 22/05/2024 22:36

Anyone but labour or conservative, both are shit!

Not SNP , so I will see who can beat my SNP candidate, if it’s a Tory so be it.

Paninaro94 · 22/05/2024 22:33

Labour.

Didn’t vote in the last election because of Corbyn and could not bring myself to vote Lib Dem. I would never, ever vote Tory.

Unless it's a tactical vote, voting for any party beyond the big two seems a waste of vote.

I'm not keen on either option, but I can't with any good conscience vote for the Conservative party after the last fourteen years.

I also hear lots saying, 'Well, what are Labour's policies? They don't have any, blah, blah, blah."

A quick Google will tell you exactly what those policies are, and imo, they sound far better than the Conservatives' policies. Despite a dislike of Starmer, the path seems pretty clear.

It's a labour vote (or a tactical vote) to get the tories out. Surely, things can't get any worse than the shit show we currently have.

Good answer tbf. But that's individually...not collectively.

brunettemic · 22/05/2024 22:29

I’ll probably vote Labour on the basis that I like our local MP, he does actually do a lot for his constituency. That’s not a reflection on the wider party, they’re all as bad as each other. Voting for anyone but Labour where I live is pointless though, they could probably sell all the children of the area to an organ trafficking gang and people would still vote for them.

Most definitely not - but secret ballot and 'who' is asking and 'why'?

TheDogsMother · 22/05/2024 22:23

For the first time ever I don't think I will. I confess I have voted Tory in the past but they've been a disgrace over the last 14 years, Labour , well exactly what are their policies, Lib Dem's no point.

Headingtowardsdivorce · 22/05/2024 22:22

Labour

SinisterBumFacedCat · 22/05/2024 22:18

Unsure. I was a Labour voter but their attitude to women’s spaces has changed me. However I don’t think much of the Tories either. Lib Dem’s would be a bad mix of both. Greens are a joke. Probably spoil my ballot.

Sahara123 · 22/05/2024 22:15

I absolutely cannot vote Labour so I’ve no idea .

Churchview · 22/05/2024 22:14

Labour.

weegiemum · 22/05/2024 22:12

I'll be voting Labour.

I've voted SNP for years but following the financial stuff I just can't trust them any more. I'm still pro-independence but that's not the biggest issue this time, it's getting rid of the tories and Labour are the ones to do that !

iamwhatiam23 · 22/05/2024 22:12

I probably won't bother because they are all lying hypocrites but if i do it most definitely won't be the conservatives or Labour! They are two sides of the same coin!

TheFairyCaravan · 22/05/2024 22:08

I’ve had a look at the tactical voting website because I want to get the Tories out. For my area it says I’m in a safe Labour seat and to vote for them so that’s what I shall be doing.

ManyMaybes · 22/05/2024 22:06

Labour! The tories are a self serving disgrace and I hope they are wiped out.

I don’t really want to vote for labour but needs must
