GE Poll: Why are you voting Labour?

I am voting tactically Lib Dem, as it is them or Tories where I live. I want a Labour government, though should it be needed would be happy with with a Lab/Lib coalition.
I hate what the Tories have done to people with disabilities and want them gone with a passion I have never felt before. This current lot are vile venal c*s

Also looking forward to the SNP getting a trouncing.

I'm a bit meh about KS but I'd far rather him PM and generally support Labours policies

Quite looking forward to a Labour govt

I don't always vote Labour (never Tory though) but I am this time, tactically and because I can't stand my son growing up with this government and thinking it's normal.

"Choose lower immigration, lower taxes and protected pensions", so says the Conservative manifesto. In the state we are in, they're doubling down on things I don't give a shit about.

Voting for change and getting the Tories out is a perfectly valid reason in itself. I don’t have to even look at the Labour manifesto to know I would prefer them to be in power. So I can’t really claim to be positively voting for them.

Last election was a bit of a mess -- voted Lib Dem because of Corbyn and the goings on in my constituency. This time, the Tory has stood down and I reckon Labour have the better chance.

(I actually live overseas, so I am talking about where I vote from!)

I want them out.

I will vote lib dem tactically as labour usually comes in 3rd in my area, some way behind lib dem.

Tactical voting is a thing. I wish labour wouldn't put a candidate forward in my area to make a conservative loss more likely.

I've voted both Labour and Lib Dem in the past. I am centre left in my views but have always like the Lib Dem's pro-European stance so have voted for them for most elections. Haven't voted Labour since 2001 as I didn't agree with Iraq war decisions at the time. I like Keir Starmer and think he would make a good PM.

Usually I vote knowing my vote males little difference as I live in a Tory stronghold. Labour actually have a slight chance of getting elected here this time so I'm going to vote for them. Feels like my vote might actually matter this time.

I can't say I 100% agree with Starmer's policies, but they're closer to what I want than the Tories. And I certainly like him more than I liked Corbyn.

I like Starmer’s approach and I want rid of the tories and the SNP. I wouldn’t trust either a conservative or most SNP MPs (or MSPs) to tell me the time, they are such habitual liars.

Really like Keir - he seems decent and honest (maybe too honest for politics), intelligent- a breath of fresh air!

But you're not really voting against something - voting for Labour, although with little enthusiasm as I am, is voting for a Labour government as it's preferable to a Tory one.

So it will end well, as the Tories will be gone - forever by the looks of it!

The Labour manifesto is out tomorrow.

Tactical voting is the reality of FPTP. People can use their vote however they choose - if that's to be pragmatic and vote for the general direction of the government rather than the exact party they prefer, it's up to them. For the left-leaning there are more options so there's always a risk of splitting the vote.

Personally I'm voting Lib Dem tactically to get the Tories out, but I really want Labour to win the election and I think Keir Starmer will be a good PM. He seems intelligent, sensible and experienced.

Both.

I like Kier Starmer, he’s a serious, substantial person, and, in my view, seems to genuinely want to improve things. I also like the policies they’ve announced so far and I’m a Labour voter generally.

And I want the Conservatives out by any means necessary.

A bit of both really.

Yes this is all the Tories have left now.

After 14 years of worsening public services, all Tories can offer is "stick with us, because Labour will be worse"

The Tories have a black hole of almost £40billion in their manifesto! so tac cuts WILL be paid for with more cuts in public services.

For everyone else, maybe wait for the Labour manifesto launch tomorrow for more detail.

I’m not voting for them.
they are making promises but not delivering any detail in how things will improve or how money will be raised. It’s all smoke and mirrors…no thank you!
Better the devil you know…

I'm voting for a Labour government and to get this government out, but I'm voting tactically Lib Dem.

I can't think of anything that would make me vote Conservative anyway, but it feels urgent to see the back of this rancid bunch.

Surely every vote is a vote against something? I don’t care why people vote, as long as they do.

Also voting Labour because the country cannot take another 5 years of these outrageous cunts.

Worried about the NHS and Dentistry for children. My own Dad was religious about looking after teeth No crunches allowed and made to clean teeth after eating rock! Maybe he had a vision of the future! At a dental appointment. Some young girls were waiting for their friend she was having 6 teeth.out! Dad was born in 1915 older dad.and dental care was non existent then fo ordinary people. Only way forward now

The lesser of two evils.
There are a few reasons, but the main one that made me say FUCK NO it Rwanda.
That's not to say I think Labour are great, they really aren't and I think Kier Starmer is a smarmy prick.
