If there was a GE today who would you vote for?

I am leaving before the next elections. Totally done here. Would not vote today if elections were called .

Probably Monster Raving Loony Party.

I can’t bring myself to vote for any of the others. This country has gone to sh**

Yes I’m sure

Labour’s policies will not match the increased people movement. There is no fast and nice way to do it without being the country people choose over others

EU have already said forget about it to Starmer’s suggestions. Because he’s not able to get what they do.

If people look ahead at numbers increasing massively we’d be likely start to get more aligned with EU response from France and Germany and others

Atm all these posts and U.K. generally is going against the shift elsewhere

You’re the one with a misleading post who should be asking for it to be removed. You said that private school parents were saying that they were going to remove their children and then continuing to drive around in SUVs. Total bull shit and just feeding into a stereotype.

It's not really about thinking the Tories are great it's about keeping labour out .
I cannot believe all the people thinking labour are the wholly grail . The country is broke , no party has any money to do anything with . This Tory government is about as left as I've seen . It's muddying the waters .

Are you sure I am the one who is confused?

You are concerned about migration and are going to vote for a party that has failed to control migration even though it has repeatedly stated it as one its aims.

Ok.

Lib Dem to keep out a Tory, I'm in a LD/Tory marginal.

I want a Labour government. I'm beyond tired of being shackled economically and socially to a hard right minority in the Conservative party and to a nonagenarian hatemonger. Do I think life will be all roses? No, not at all. I think Keir Starmer is fine and I'm not looking for a hero, just a team approach to trying to improve things. That will include some stuff I don't agree with. Hello, that's real life.

I am glad you agree that I never said that every private school parent drives an SUV, perhaps you would like to ask for your misleading post to be deleted?

Recognising the huge surge in people movement that is coming is

You are confused yes that part is right though by bringing in work visas

Recently from France

According to Darmanin, Paris told Italy it was "ready to help them return people to countries with which we have good diplomatic relations," giving the example of Côte d'Ivoire and Senegal. But France "will not welcome migrants" from the island, he said, speaking on French television Tuesday evening.

Labour recently tried to do a returns and quota deal, ‘deluded’ was the response from EU.

I’m looking at all these Labour posts and where we’re going globally. It’s not going to get easier. And EU will strain even more

You were the one mentioning SUVs. Focusing on a stereotype doesn’t help get your case across. The vast majority of the parents talking about removing their children are not driving SUVs and lots of private school parents don’t drive a SUV in any case. In fact, there has been a massive decrease in SUVs at my DC’s private school in recent years. People are driving electric or smaller petrol cars.

I don't believe any party causes detriment to to wealthy people.

But the Tory's do and have caused it to those who aren't.

But if those with less have a fairer distribution of wealth then they can get better education, afford better housing and become less disenfranchised.

This in turn benefits the country as a whole and often the wealthy financially too.

Wealthy business owners can't be wealthy business owners if people don't have money to spend at their business.

I'm confused.

Is migration a priority for you?

If it is, presumably you won't be voting for the party that has overseen a massive increase in migration and a shambles of an immigration system?

@Dibblydoodahdah can you point to where I said that every private school parent drives an SUV?

I haven't decided yet but as my MP is Rees-Mogg I won't be voting Conservative that's for sure.

Lib Dem. They want to rejoin the EU and they'll remove the 2 child rule and benefit cap.

🤣🤣🤣

Your DH sounds brilliant

Well mines Braverman so very easy not to vote for local Tory.

She's never here anyway - only ever times up to the rich western wards if the area to visit cake shops and the hairdressers or the older rich community.

She couldn't give a flying fuck about the main town in the area she represents and after many years it's showing.

That's the point!

They weren't policies or even proposals.

He took a report and twisted some narrative they wrote to decide that those could be proposals and then pretended to scrap them as policies to look like he was doing something.

Our Prime Minister - who we are meant to trust to run the country. 🤦🏼‍♀️

You’re very active on responding to every post that isn’t Labour but no.

It’s the changes in people movement I’m looking at and how parties will respond.

EU countries are already struggling to deal with it but are saying no. It’s not an easy thing to do in reality though.

Lampedusa is the start and it will ramp up.

Despite not liking Keir Starmer, definitely Labour. As a household with a teacher and a police officer it’s very clear which party cares about ordinary people who use public services. I think the philosophy of “think of the most vulnerable person you know and vote in their best interests” is a good one.

You genuinely believe that every private school parent drives a SUV. Well that shows you are talking total crap.

I take it you will be voting for whichever candidate is most likely to get rid of a Tory, since it is the Tories who have overseen the increase in migration and erosion of women's rights for the past 13 years?

These threads are generally like this

Imo with changes generally worldwide it is Labour that will start to stand out

Everywhere else will become more hardline on migration. It’s happening already if people look to the EU. The change to no by a fair few countries

Gender is an issue in many places but may unravel as the above switches. Hopefully

@LyndaLaHughes my husband and daughter work in the public sector. My dd is teaching and loving it, in a very difficult school. My son and I work in the quasi public sector which is responding to the market.

I wouldn’t have voted the NHS top in 2010 - and venture that the figures creating that score were manipulated. At about that time we received healthcare in Austria and France. It was head and shoulders better.

I am sorry you sound so unhappy.

You shouldn't be shocked. Even a collapsed Tory vote i still a huge number of people, and as constituency boundaries mean that Tories need more votes to get same number of seats as Labour (but they have won far more elections), I think the country is, generally, right leaning (Blair was of course centre-right heir of Thatcher)

So a lot of the "homeless" voters are probably those who are right-leaning but cannot stand current Tory incompetence and the resumption of Tory infighting
