Curious to know how many people would still vote Tory if Liz lands the job. I would think she will lose them the next election..?
Maybe Rishi will run as an independent candidate?

How would you vote in the next General Election? And why?

Conservatives

I live in NI and we can't vote for Tory, Labour, Lib Dem etc so have zero say in who the governing party and prime minister will be. And they call this a democracy!

Tory of course. They know what a woman is.

I hate labour's stance on women's rights but I can only hope they wake up before the next GE and start paying attention to the adults in the room.

I'll be voting Labour whatever come the next election, I will never, ever vote for the Tories. I cannot forgive them for what they have done to society, particularly to disabled people, to millennials and Gen Z. It's appalling.

CaptainBarbosa · 24/09/2022 11:25

I'm in a labour stronghold, you could put a cat with red rosette up for labour here and they would still win.

I will vote labour though because the Tories can't just continue to expand the weather gap.

If it wasn't clear from my post, as a mixed race teacher from a single parent working class family with a mum who is a nurse in the NHS. I will never, ever vote tory.

When you say they know what a woman is, do they also know what women are not? Do they know that women are not eating so their children can, they are not able to afford period products, they are unable to escape domestic violence because there is no social housing and nowhere for them to go apart from a crappy b&b, that they are trapped in low paid work because of the erosion of workers' rights and lack of affordable childcare and are trapped in caring roles because of the crisis is social care?

Exactly.
I'm sick of this bollocks trite phrase people trot out because they know how it will sound if they say 'tories protect my financial interests and that is more important to me than society going to the dogs'.
Boris said he knows what a woman is because he knew women like the MN middle class would lap it up. Reality shows how much the tories value women- not one bit. Maternity care is shit, employment rights and wages (particularly teaching, nursing and care work- oh right mostly female roles!) are increasingly shit, childcare cost and provision is increasingly shit, I could go on. Women were disproportionately affected by Covid policies while the tories were partying it up. The Queen (one of these 'women' the tories know) followed policy and sat alone burying her husband while Boris sat quaffing with his cunt brown nosers breaking the rules.
It doesn't matter if someone says 'I know what a woman is' if that person treats women like something off the bottom of their shoe!

Whichever candidate has the best chance of beating Tories like the above poster said.

colouringindoors · 24/09/2022 09:11

Whichever local candidate has the best chance of beating the Tories.

Those Still voting Tory - I have no words 😪

Despite the fact Labour hate women and the working class , I will vote for them again. The Tories hate everyone except the very wealthy and are unelectable. They seem determined to bring the country to it's knees and I fear for the vulnerable, elderly, disabled and young this winter .

pompomdaisy · 13/09/2022 02:20

I will vote tactily to get rid of the Tories.

Interesting all the comments about NHS in wales - my brother has just moved to Cardiff and has had a really good experience there finding a GP and getting some complicated treatment sorted out with several different services.

Agree with a pp here that women & children will be worse under a Tory government than labour - the identification rubbish is just a PR thing. X

I'm Welsh.

GP level care is generally good. It's when you start to need hospital and outpatient appointments the cogs start turning very slowly (with the exception of cancer diagnosis and treatment)

And community mental health care is virtually non existent! They are showing. They gave my friend a leaflet when she was suicidal as they couldn't do much more due to waiting times. She nearly died from a overdose 2 weeks after they visited. There are so many stories like hers surrounding CMHT.

Maternity care is hit or miss dependant on area, a and e waiting times can be huge, and ambulance arrival times to an emergency even worse.

Staffing is a nightmare, constantly short staffed, hospital budgets are slashed annually.

Quality of care in hospital is also poor.

But yeah other than that all good. 🤣

I'd always vote for an independent candidate first and foremost, after that Mebyon Kernow. I've always lent towards the right before, but lost faith in all of the major parties. National political parties a like cults, and their MP's just blindly toe the partly line instead of representing their constituents. They're only in it for their own gain, and policies are too London centric - it's like westminster can't see beyond the M25.

@ThisIsNotAFlyingToy sneaky..an actual social democrat to vote for would be nice 😩

Not my cup of tea but anyone notice the SDP never actually went away, they seem to be trying to stage a comeback…en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Democratic_Party_(UK,_1990–present)

They bear no relation to Shirley Williams's party though. But using the name stops an actual social democratic party using it.

AgnestaVipers · 05/09/2022 19:53

If Labour agree to no self ID, I'll vote for them. Not holding my breath though.

Tryingthisonefornow · 05/09/2022 19:51

I'll stick with SNP all the way

WonkotheWonderDog · 05/09/2022 19:45

Another vote for Larry the Cat !

I moved to South Wales from South East England earlier this year and have found the NHS great so far by comparison, I can actually get a GP appointment in a timely fashion and the Dr I spoke to actually discussed a treatment plan and next steps/follow up which I have never had where I used to live, just fobbed off and made to feel a nuisance for anything that wasn't visibly and immediately life threatening. Have also used A&E twice and haven't found it any worse than the SE. Of course this might just be indicative of the overcrowded area I've moved from with lack of infrastructure. In answer to the question, I would vote Labour probably or anyone but Cons.

tedgran · 05/09/2022 19:27

Live in a constituency which always returns a Lib dem member, won't vote for them as they don't know what a woman is, Labour are the same re women and I won't vote Tory so disenfranchised.

AliTheMinx · 05/09/2022 19:13

I honestly don't know anymore... I'm not loyal to any party. I usually vote for the best candidate/party at the time, but now I'm stumped. I don't think Keir is a strong enough opponent and Labour haven't put up enough of a fight. I Iiked the Lib Dems previously, but since Nick Clegg they appear to have vanished without trace... I could never vote Green. The country is an absolute mess. I could have got behind Rishi, I think - but Truss seems like a wet flannel, and I really worry how everything will pan out. She doesn't inspire me with any confidence...
