I don't know who to vote for ...

@GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut

that's the case here too!

@Shortfatsuit

would you mind saying which party that might be?!?!

I'm in the same boat as you OP. Realistically my MP can only be Tory or Lib Dem.

I have absolute red line issues that I cannot in good conscience vote against. Unfortunately both the Tories and the Lib Dems are on the wrong side of at least one of those red lines. In fact there's not a single candidate standing that I can vote for.

I'm now at the point where I'm considering spoiling my ballot. I don't know what else to do.

unfortunately I missed her name, but she's on TV a lot presenting/interviewing/debriefing on politics and she said. Unless you're in the leaders constituencies you can't vote for them, so vote for who serves your constituent best,

it's one approach.

tactical voting seems very risky this time around & I don't feel it will achieve much.

I'm going to vote, I can't not, but FMD I'm sure I don't know how yet and nothing any of them say in the next few days will help because I don't believe a word out of their lying mouths!

...and either they don't understand the consequences to much of what they're saying IR they do & just don't care. I'm tired of them thinking we're believing the 💩 they're coming out with.

Reform UK, the Social Democrat Party and British Workers Party all know what a woman is.

That gives you a good spread right wing, centrist and left wing.

You will not find a party that you agree with on everything. It's about deciding on what matters to you most. For me, that means not voting on any one single issue but looking at what I think will have the greatest net benefit to society overall. It is an imperfect compromise at best, but I feel that it is the best possible use of my vote.

Sorry that last line should have said "The fact they are using it as a political tool has pissed me off more than labour being so useless".

As a GC feminist I found it really hard to vote for labour but given that they are 10,000 times better than the Tories on everything else relating to women I am writing to my Labour MP to tell them I'm not voting for them, and turn the canvaseers on the door the same and why and then voting for them. There's no way the Tories can get back in and destroy so many lives. They don't give a fuck about us as women otherwise they would have sorted this out years ago. The fact they are using it as a political tool has pissed me off more than labour things so has pissed me off more than Labour being so useless about it.

No party is going to completely match what you want in it's manifesto. That's life and true in any election.

You have to decide, on balance, who aligns most closely with what you think is a priority. And then campaign on the rest, if it's important enough to you.

An election is not a single once every 5 years opportunity to fix everything.

Vote for the least worst option. The party you vote for doesn't have to match your beliefs perfectly, just indicate the general direction you want the country to go in.

If you want the perfect party to vote for, stand yourself.

there doesn't seem to be a right answer, but you maybe need to think about what's more important and vote based on that

You need to work out what matters most.

If it's trans people and GC feminist stuff then you go with that.

Reform seem able to say what you'd like to hear but unless you're in Clacton or possibly a couple of other seats you won't get an MP from it.

Who is most likely to win in your constituency?
