My political views are centre-left. I am genuinely unsure how to vote in the next election because I am absolutely not voting for any party that supports harmful woke ideology. I am curious to hear how other GCs are thinking of voting next year?

I've not decided yet. I very much want a change of government and I think even dyed in the wool Conservatives of integrity would be secretly embarrassed if they were voted in again.

Always voted Labour in the past and used to be a member. If push comes to shove, I guess I'd prefer a Starmer headed Labour majority to a hung parliament that gave power to the likes of the Lib Dems. But there is the small issue that I have grown to despise my old party and I'm not sure I can get past that.

I agree with a PP that their current treatment of Rose Duffield might be the last straw for me. Whatever happens, I'll be checking out the independent candidates very carefully.

I was edging very slowly back towards Labour when the news about Rosie Duffield's continued persecution broke.

I'm watching. There's not a cat's chance in hell I'll vote for them if she's not exonerated.

No idea. I'm in my 50s and I've never lived anywhere where my vote means anything. A donkey would win where I'm at now if they had a blue rosette.

I did tell the woman canvassing for Labour that I was a single issue voter on this and why.

...
What I meant to say was: "Find out the views of your local candidates".

This has been concerning me as well. If the SDP have a candidate in my constituency I'll vote for them.

I met the Labour candidate a few days ago. He was aware of the debate and had GC views (he didn't call them that). If the SDP do not have a candidate I'll vote Labour - the party might be dodgy but at least there will be one more sane voice in the HoC
