I'm still so torn. In a single sentence can you say who you are voting for and why?

Alliance (Northern Ireland). For no good reason apart from I don’t want DUP, Tory’s or Sinn Fein in.

StealthPolarBear · 12/12/2019 21:18

Labour to reduce child poverty and hopefully cancel brexit

Hayls17 · 12/12/2019 21:15

Labour

Most aligned to my views on the issues that are most important to me (Education and NHS). Local MP seems a decent guy and is very present in the community.

Phoebesgift · 12/12/2019 21:13

Labour because I care about everyone in society, not just myself and I believe the Tories will dismantle and destroy the NHS.

CareOfPunts · 12/12/2019 20:41

You're also correct in that it seems to be mainly against Tory voters.
I've found the same attitude from remain voters towards leave voters.

I don’t condone abuse, but perhaps people who are opposed to the Tories and leave are angry and see people who support that as the root cause of what they think the country’s problems. And let’s face it, they’re not bloody wrong. All of this mess has been caused by the Tories and people voting Brexit.

I agree with you there, @MrsSnippyPants, I don't understand why posters get so nasty and personal just because someone else doesn't share their views.
It's really uncalled for and must put some people off posting.

At the end of the day, everyone has a different lived experience, but people are so quick to judge, rather than trying to understand other's points of view.

Labour because I like my MP and am a long term member... despite finding Corbyn somewhere between useless and scary. If only Yvette Cooper had won the leadership election

FGSJoanWhatsWrongWithYou · 12/12/2019 19:04

My local LibDem candidate is good. I am gutted that self id meant I couldn't vote for him. What a hill to die on Lib Dems.

MrsSnippyPants · 12/12/2019 18:57

I'm only up to P13 but already I am seeing people being insulted for voting Conservative yet nobody is insulting Labour voters.

Really don't think calling people names ever changed anybody's minds?

I have voted Conservative because he was the only candidate who took my concerns about women's rights seriously; the Greens, LibDems and Labour candidates just parroted the party line (though the Labour candidate did offer further discussion so she is one to watch).

PortiaCastis · 12/12/2019 18:09

Lib Dems tactically as they lost to the Tories by 312 votes last time so a lot of friends and family are supporting them and we hope to get rid of the Tory MP

Benjispruce · 12/12/2019 17:59

Labour. For the many not the few.

selmabear · 12/12/2019 17:53

Labour. Lesser of two evils

slipperywhensparticus · 12/12/2019 16:05

I voted against conservatives im a mum with disabled children and a long term health condition

As for who I voted for ahhh I voted tactically he is a decent bloke with a chance to get in

Offred2 · 12/12/2019 16:04

Labour. Because I believe that all members of society are entitled to dignity and having their basic needs met.

Also - as a Jew I have no reservations about voting labour from that perspective.

MrsChanningTatum · 12/12/2019 15:59

Labour. I want an end to austerity. I am a nurse in NHS. It’s on its knees.

Coldemort · 12/12/2019 15:42

Plaid Cymru - to get as far away from the shit show of Westminster.

Plus Adam Price is a beaut

mumwon · 12/12/2019 15:40

dh & I (I think from discussions because he is trying to be tactical!) will be voting differently - clue neither of us is voting conservative - or anyone on that spectrum. We have always voted for different parties but are both middle left (as my ds puts it - dm typical Guardian reader Grin) & we don't argue about politics (got lots of other things to argue about, like who left the fridge open etc!)

lilgreen · 12/12/2019 15:38

Labour for social care, schools, nhs and the environment.

Ineedanamechange79 · 12/12/2019 15:31

Still undecided. It's close between the Tories and SNP.in my seat. Can't say I really want to vote for either.

colouringinpro · 12/12/2019 14:42

But Mrs he's never going to get a majority.

More important question: Do you want an NHS?

MrsPeakyBlinders · 12/12/2019 14:39

Let me think - do I want an anti Semitic Communist as a PM ? Hmmmmm

Morgan12 · 12/12/2019 11:32

SNP. To hopefully get the fuck away from Westminster and Tories forever.

colouringinpro · 12/12/2019 11:30

*tripled the National Debt!

CendrillonSings · 12/12/2019 11:26

Conservative. Because socialism doesn’t work.
