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

Tory. Because I love the UDA, the arms trade, Saudi Arabia and bombing schools in Palestine.

WolfOfOdin · 12/12/2019 11:12

Labour, because im a working class Northerner that the tories don't give a shit about

ClownsandCowboys · 12/12/2019 11:11

Labour, be a use I give a shit about the most vulnerable in society.

BlackSwanGreen · 12/12/2019 11:09

Labour because I want a referendum on Brexit.

Also I'll be voting Tory because I think they are by far the most GC party. And, there are circa 40k more doctors and nurses on NHS wards compared to the figures ten years ago.

And despite being known as 'the nasty party', they weren't the ones who dragged us into Iraq, despite a million-plus of us marching.

Lib Dem because the Tories have crippled the National Debtvdespite austerity (where did the money go?!); because the NHS is on its knees and being privatised by stealth and because even if I wasn't a Remainer, the lies around Get Brexit Done make me fume. It will take at least a decade to sort all the trade deals we need. Meanwhile there will be a massive recession.

NextdoorNeighbourIsATwat · 12/12/2019 11:02

Labour. Because I love Sinn Fein, Hezbollah, Hamas and think the Salisbury poisonings were a conspiracy against the Russia state.

Grin Grin Grin

In all seriousness, looking through this thread...we are so divided aren't we? So very far apart. A large chunk of us will be very disheartened tomorrow - I'm hoping I'm not amongst them. I don't think I've ever seen an election as so fundamentally important.

DrunkSanta · 12/12/2019 11:01

Sinn Fein. A united Ireland and their support for abortion rights in NI

Huggybear16 · 12/12/2019 11:00

Tory because of women's rights

Yes, because Boris will make sure that women's rights are prioritised Confused

Enb76 · 12/12/2019 10:57

Tory because I read all the main three manifestos (for my area) and did some extra research to find out what was lies, what was truth and what was propaganda.

For many reasons the least worst party for me personally.

TowelNumber42 · 12/12/2019 10:47

Tory because of women's rights and the economy; because despite being a Remainer I believe Brexit is unavoidable; because I want Labour and Lib Dems to get such a drubbing they sort themselves out into being a decent opposition and potential government in waiting.

LochJessMonster · 12/12/2019 10:35

Tory because I want to leave the EU.

Willowcat77 · 12/12/2019 10:35

Labour, because they are the only party able to stop a hard right Tory government from destroying this country.

Lonelycrab · 12/12/2019 10:33

I’m voting Labour because I understand that the current “Tory” government has nothing to do with moderate conservatism- they’re actually UKIP in all but name, and only a hairs breath from the BNP/EDL which makes me feelEnvy (about as far from envy as is possible)

ritzbiscuits · 12/12/2019 10:22

Labour. We desperately need change in this country and I want a fairer society where the vulnerable and poor are better supported.

ssd · 12/12/2019 10:16

SNP. Westminster is ruining the country.

peachescariad · 12/12/2019 09:59

My Independent candidate.....couldn't vote for any party that wants to bring in self ID, change the Equality Act and throw women under the bus

berrylands · 12/12/2019 09:49

SNP

To save the NHS

And many other reasons, but that's the main one.
I hope people voting tory realise that in the world they want they can't afford getting sick.
I can't understand women voting tory, especially mums. Women and children need social services more than anyone.

GOODCAT · 12/12/2019 09:49

Tory for the economy despite the economic nightmare that will be brexit because Labour's plans for the economy are even worse which is saying something. I would like to vote for a centrist remain party but there are none.

UserPop · 12/12/2019 09:49

Labour, for our MP

BertrandRussell · 12/12/2019 09:47

My dog voted Labour. She is particularly worried about Borders being put in the Irish Sea...

NomRienDeRien · 12/12/2019 09:46

Tory.

Self-ID - the implications of which are much further-reaching than sex.

commanderdalgliesh · 12/12/2019 09:42

Lib Dem. Brexit.

SallyWD · 12/12/2019 09:32

Labour. I care about the poor and disadvantaged and want a second referendum.

Pinkandpurplehairedlady · 12/12/2019 09:26

Conservative as I want Brexit to stop taking up all the parliamentary time.
