To be honest I'm in a bit of a tizz over this. I feel it's not really cricket to vote for myself, but I can't vote for another party. I mean what if someone found out?

I think I'm going to have to "forget' my photo ID and be manhandled out of the Polling Station. That way I can't vote and I'll get loads of public sympathy. 🫰🫰🫰

I would have voted greens, but as a non-man I can’t bring myself to do it.

We do not have much choice in our constituency, I’m torn between the independent candidate or spoiling.

It is a hard no to Labour.

The conservatives have made a mess of public services and I just don’t trust them.

BadBarry · 29/06/2024 21:28

Conservatives, there is no better alternative in my opinion.
That's not to say I think conservatives are a good option I just think the others are worse.

CollyBobble · 29/06/2024 21:26

REFORM.

AhBiscuits · 29/06/2024 21:26

Lib dem.
Their candidate is the only one in my area who is not a white, straight man or Reform. I don't vote for white, straight men as they are over represented.

Labour.

Like Starmer, like their general ethos and outlook.

This.

TeaGinandFags · 29/06/2024 21:24

SDP

Gender critical.
Like the environment but with vavests for practicality.

Rpund her Labour rdfuse to turn up at the hustings

MissingMoominMamma · 29/06/2024 21:23

Labour, but only because our local candidate is brilliant. Starmer is bloody awful. I hope Labour are listening!!!!

DinnaeFashYersel · 29/06/2024 21:22

Labour

Got a chance of ousting the SNP
Locally and the Tories nationally.

And of the available options Labour is the best choice for government

👍

Oh, yeah. So covid nonsense rules out the Tories again!

Show quote history

Boris ruined the country with his tack.

I'm torn - our local Labour mp has been fabulous for our area, she's been our most for as long as I can remember. I think she's fantastic and she speaks out against the party line when necessary. For example she does not support labour's stance on Gaza.

However there are aspects of the Labour manifesto that I disagree with and I think because of this I may not vote for them for the first time in my life. There's an independent guy in my constituency (habib raheem) who is ex-Labour and his ideas are definitely the best fit to my ideals and beliefs. I'm really impressed with what I've seen of him so far. I live in a Labour stronghold so it won't matter really, but I am tempted to vote for him.

TheHateIsNotGood · 29/06/2024 21:20

Tactically. To get my very rich, non-representative MP out.

How're you voting OP and why?

RedRobyn2021 · 29/06/2024 21:20

I think I'd have voted labour for the first time if it weren't for their stance surrounding women

RedRobyn2021 · 29/06/2024 21:20

I've already done a postal vote and I really struggled with who to vote for, but also felt I should vote. So I voted conservative again.

AutumnLeaves5 · 29/06/2024 21:19

Tory as she’s been an excellent constituency MP who cares about, gets involved in and fights for our local issues. And will defend women’s rights.

Very much voting for the person and not the party.

GreyCarpet · 29/06/2024 21:19

Jaydafran · 29/06/2024 21:18

Reform please. Can vote tory again after the covid idiocy and will never vote Labour

Oh, yeah. So covid nonsense rules out the Tories again!

fluffmellow · 29/06/2024 21:19

Greaterorlesser · 29/06/2024 21:07

Tory. Our MP is excellent and I want her to keep her seat

Is it Liz Truss?

NagaTheThird · 29/06/2024 21:18

Tory, my MP is a decent bloke, a good constituency MP.

Jaydafran · 29/06/2024 21:18

Reform please. Can vote tory again after the covid idiocy and will never vote Labour

LakeTiticaca · 29/06/2024 21:18

Everyone should cast a vote. A spoiled paper is a wasted vote. There is no point in wasting a vote then complaining that nothing has changed

KnittedCardi · 29/06/2024 21:17

Tory. Because it's a tight race here between Conservative and Lib Dems, and I just can't vote for the Lib Dems.

GreyCarpet · 29/06/2024 21:17

Livinginaclock · 29/06/2024 21:10

Conservative.
I'm not happy about it, but at least they know what a woman is.
I'm a single issue voter this time, women's rights are my main concern.

Tbh, if I were forced to vote for someone, I would too. Despite saying I won't vote Tory.

For the same reason.

I hate what they've done to the country but I don't really believe anyone else is going to significantly change the other stuff anyway.

But I can't vote for anyone who thinks any percentage of women have a penis.

Jaydafran · 29/06/2024 21:16

Theres a whole separate board for this

Curlewwoohoo · 29/06/2024 21:14

I want to vote Green but might do a tactical vote for Lib Dem, who I think are alright. Chap disappointed me a bit at the hustings I went to. Hope to be rid of the long standing Tory dinosaur.

cardibach · 29/06/2024 21:12

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 29/06/2024 21:03

I'm voting conservative. The only party who knows what a woman is.
Also, they have triple locked pensions. Labour want to put a tax on pensions. So no. Tories for me!

No, Labour aren't taxing pensions. It's just that because of increases in pension and the fact that personal allowances haven't increased the state pension will cross the threshold. Pensions have always been taxable. It's a Tory issue that they have become taxed in practice.
