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

Labour.

My local candidate is a wonderful woman that has campaigned long and hard to make my constituency a better place to live.

Huggybear16 · 12/12/2019 08:40

SNP.
I have never voted SNP before - I don't want Scottish Independence, but I want a Tory government even less.

coffeebliss · 12/12/2019 08:38

Lib Dem - we're in a Tory stronghold. Oh, for proportional representation.

My priorities are... not Corbyn (not all bad, nice to see that someone is trying to create a better / more equal world, but the maths doesn't work and wealth-creators will leave), rerun referendum/preferably remain.

It's a sorry state of affairs that I would prefer Leave / ongoing buffoonery vs Corbyn's labour! I'm a staunch remainer!

joffreyscoffees · 12/12/2019 08:38

Labour. I work for the NHS and I want to still have a public sector job in 5 years time.

Instagrump · 12/12/2019 08:36

Tory because they're the only real competition to the SNP candidate in our area.

Clangus00 · 12/12/2019 08:32

SNP, because I’m fed up of imbeciles in Westminster telling us what we can & cant do in our own country, also, we desperately need to save the NHS and park Trident elsewhere.

TiddleTaddleTat · 12/12/2019 08:26

Please don't waste your vote by spoiling it...

Bluebutterfly90 · 12/12/2019 08:26

Labour.
Because fuck the Tories.

nurseyn · 12/12/2019 08:26

SNP because it's them or the Tories here. Hoping for a Labour victory.

TiddleTaddleTat · 12/12/2019 08:25

Labour. Because I work with vulnerable people and am horrified by what austerity has done to our society. I am also fearful of the far right, extreme version of the current Tory party and their dirty tactics.

Chewbecca · 12/12/2019 08:24

Labour. No party is perfect for me but 3 good reasons are:

  • increase tax and improve public services
  • their Brexit policy
  • tuition fees
babyinthacorner · 12/12/2019 08:20

Ex-Tory MP who is now standing as Independent. To try to keep the Tories out because I’m a teacher.

WrongKindOfFace · 12/12/2019 08:13

Labour. I’m not a massive Corbyn fan but he won’t be leader forever, and I care about public services and reducing inequality.

camrose · 12/12/2019 08:07

Lib Dem in an effort to unseat the (very) long-standing local Tory MP who keeps promising to retire at the next General Election but doesn't ....

I'm also old fashioned enough to believe that our PM should have some ethics so can't vote Tory.

Skade · 12/12/2019 07:57

Reluctantly Lib Dem as a tactical vote to get the Tory out of the seat. Am an NHS worker and Labour don't get a look in where I live.

BlouseAndSkirt · 12/12/2019 07:54

Sorry: should be ‘stopping Brexit’ I am a remainer.

BlouseAndSkirt · 12/12/2019 07:53

Labour. Best hope of keeping Boris out and Brexit. If Labour win, can campaign for change if leader. If Boris wins, replacement leader will still be a Tory.

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 12/12/2019 07:53

Labour

Life long Tory here but cannot stand to see the misery they are inflicting on people. Plus the NHS.

Would have voted Lib Dem but jo swinson and her twaw stance.

JoolsSchmools · 12/12/2019 07:49

Labour, I give a shit about people and can see past the Rupert Murdoch/Tory lies

DeRigueurMortis · 12/12/2019 01:05

Labour (reluctantly).

I'm not a fan of Corbyn but in my constituency it's the best tactical vote to stop the Right wing messed up Tory Party that has emerged under Johnson.

jennydubooj · 12/12/2019 01:04

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

Only joking of course, anyone voting Labour needs their heads examining.

TooleyVanDooley · 12/12/2019 01:02

Probably Tory, still considering LibDem.

Corbyn is unelectable and dangerous

Pinksmyfavoritecolour · 12/12/2019 01:00

Hadn’t thought to go and spoil my paper, that’s my dilemma sorted.
I’ve never voted Tory, can’t stand our local Tory MP, witnessed incredibly rude behaviour when not got public face on that I can’t forget. But they will get in again sadly.

Labour is a wasted vote locally and on the whole the thought of Abbot being the Home Secretary with her disgrace of a son last week is a definite no now.

Liberal is a local wasted vote locally and Ms Swinson changes her mind like the weather.

JuneJuly · 12/12/2019 00:57

Labour.

Best chance of stopping the Tory candidate winning in my constituency.

Purely tactical voting, without that being necessary I would probably vote LibDem.

OhWellThatsJustGreat · 12/12/2019 00:42

Spoiling my paper because they're all a bunch of liars who wouldn't know how and can't be trusted to organise a piss up in a brewery but I refuse to not vote.
