Labour.

Because who could look at the state of this country after 14 years of those morally bankrupt cunts and say they want more?

Probably reform.

Why?

@hungrycaterpillarsmummy Labour is not going to tax pensions. That is another twisted lie of the Tories.

People pay tax on pensions already. If you have a private pension on top of your state pension, you pay tax. It's not a new thing. That has always been the case.

For the majority of people on state pension only, nothing will change

I am fortunate in having the opportunity to reelect the candidate who's been an excellent Labour MP here since 2015.

Not only has he served our constituency well, I'm looking forward to Keir Starmer being Prime Minister.

That might have been unclear. Keir Starmer is not my MP. However I like and respect my own MP and the work he's done, and I'm also looking forward to Keir Starmer being Prime Minister.

Why on earth do you need to know, OP? You wouldn't ask someone in real life, so why on here?
And it's not as if Mumsnet could possibly reflect the entire country and all 650 constituencies!

Because this is anonymous. It's not rl.

CassieMaddox · 29/06/2024 23:07

Labour and looking forward very much to an end to the endless wittering about how only the right wing (Tories, Reform, PoW) will "protect women's rights".
I don't want to be catapulted into some tradwife world thanks

Not 100% sure yet, I'm still researching my options, I just know it will definitely NOT be the tories!! What they are trying to do to the disabled is appalling, not to mention all the other cuts etc, aimed squarely at those who can least afford it. They're not only pulling the rug from under the most vulnerable in society, they're kicking them whist they're down. No guarantee any other party will be any better, but to my mind it's like having a car break down constantly. There comes a time when you have to cut your losses, stop throwing good money after bad, get rid of the car and buy another in the hope the new one might not be as temperamental and costly. That's my hope with a new government....

MayonnaiseOnMyChips · 29/06/2024 22:58

Labour.

We need the tories out.

Lilacapples · 29/06/2024 22:54

Probably reform.

StarDolphins · 29/06/2024 22:54

I’m unsure. I care v deeply about animal rights & tories are awful on this (&other things). I also care about women’s rights and Labour seemingly are awful on this. I also feel like LP won’t be much better than tories.

I want to vote, I think it’s important but I feel I have no one to vote for.

anonhop · 29/06/2024 22:54

Interested when people suggest that Labour are for the many, not the few.

While I of course want a party that looks out for the most desperate, when I think of the "many", I think of an average working class family. Parents go to work in typical jobs, aspire to home ownership & to save for a pension (but neither of these things are within easy reach). Drive an old car etc.

When I think of Labour, I think they crush the dreams of a family like this. Help with home ownership, savings etc (which are important for families who aren't born into wealth) made harder. Expansion of ULEZ punishing those with older cars.

I think Labour are more for the few at the very bottom, and also for tearing down those they deem to be "rich". I think they forget about/tread all over the "many" in the lower middle who are just about getting by.

FWIW Tories are no better & I'm not voting, but I find the "Labour for the many" thing rlly interesting because of course they used to be a worker's party, but now I'd say they're not that good for people who actually work.

DogsandFlowers · 29/06/2024 22:53

Reform but now thinking about not posting it in case the right wing think they've 'won'
Not that I think for a second they'd get in

macaroniandcheeze · 29/06/2024 21:01

Labour as I live in a very Tory area and every vote counts to get them out. And I do believe that overall they will have a positive impact.
I’d love to vote Green but I don’t feel like it’s a wise move right now.

Same as my area. Last general election there were 23 votes between the Labour and conservative candidates.

Why do you equate women's rights with transphobia?

Honestly, just ignore these goady posts.

MotherFeministWoman · 29/06/2024 22:51

EKnaring · 29/06/2024 22:47

Can anyone please explain why Labour are bad for women’s rights? Or is this perhaps transphobia? I haven’t come across any policies impacting women from them so wonder if I’ve missed anything

Because they don't "know what a woman is" unlike the tories who do, but don't give a shit about them and have made many millions of their lives harder.

Adviceneeeeded · 29/06/2024 22:51

The only mp in my area who does anything is lib dem even though its a Conservative area. The Conservative MP does bugger all unless there's a photo OP. I think most people in my area are going lib dem for that reason alone

Itsprobablynotcominhome · 29/06/2024 22:50

I'm very happily voting Labour.

Anyone who spoils their vote or doesn't vote doesn't get to moan about the result.

Torn between labour and greens.
Not a hells chance I'm voting Tory. Never have and never will.
