If a snap election is called, who will you vote for?

This will be such a difficult election, as I reckon almost everyone will vote tactically.

I am a remainer, and was a traditional Labour voter, though that doesn’t feel like home any more.

I also voted no, but now find myself thinking independence might not be the worst option any more.

I will not vote for Johnston.
I like Jo Swinson, but her party will never be big enough to make a big difference.
Corbyn seems a principled man, but he is too far left for me and he’s not a leader - he is a divisive character.
Farage represents all I hate in politics.

I will be voting SNP,, for the first time in my life.

None of the above.
It will burn but there isn't any other choice.

Tory?

Probably Green as I don't agree with any of the major parties at all.

“her party will never be big enough to make a big difference”

Only if everyone thinks that way! I don’t know who I would vote for either but not Tory, brexit party or anyone (else) racist

Timeaftertime42 · 03/09/2019 06:19

Really, really tough choice this time..... I'm usually staunch Labour but don't think JC is the right leader at the moment. Tempted by Lib Dem anti Brexit stance but suspect that NOT delivering Brexit in some form could be damaging for our country and give power to Farage and co. Would NEVER vote Tory. Will probably go back to Labour in the end Confused

‘Only if everyone thinks that way! ’

I know, I appreciate it doesn’t make total sense but it seems like a wasted vote; remember Clegg mania, yet we still ended up with a smattering of them.

I want almost anything but Brexit.

I wouldn't vote for any of them, they're all terrible (for various reasons).

TheQueef · 03/09/2019 06:27

I couldn't do Tory, too much blood on their hands imo.

Hopefully a big shocker in lab manifesto will force my hand.

Mrscog · 03/09/2019 06:27

Lib Dem, no way would I ever vote for Jeremy Corbyn -he wants Brexit.

Sirzy · 03/09/2019 06:27

I will vote but I have never been so torn on who to vote for. Not conservatives or any brexit party type is all I can say

Labour need to get a new leader now!

Wellhellojonsnow · 03/09/2019 06:28

I live in a Tory stronghold but will still vote LD

BigcatLittlecat · 03/09/2019 06:29

Labour!

Theworldisfullofgs · 03/09/2019 06:29

Lib Dem.
I've voted labour in the past but won't now.
Ditto conservative. Actually definitely not conservative.

I cant not vote - it was drummed into me.

GotToGoMyOwnWay · 03/09/2019 06:35

It will be Lib Dem but a wasted vote as we are in a Tory stronghold & unfortunately a Brexit MP & my constituency voted for Brexit overwhelmingly Angry

I can’t possibly vote for Corbyn - he too is a Brexiteer & isn’t credible as a leader.

I’m a staunch remainer & hope this shot show is stopped but I can’t see that happening.

MindyStClaire · 03/09/2019 06:37

Do you not think this is the very election where we shouldn't think like this? I know none of the major parties are inspiring, bit at least pick Leave or Remain and vote for whichever candidate is most likely to get elected. The election will be viewed as a second referendum so if you have a view at all, staying silent isn't great.

I'm in NI, so if you think Tory Vs Labour is uninspiring... My current MP is an independent, and the only non DUP MP from NI who takes their seat. I didn't vote for her last time, but I certainly will this time. Unfortunately, the boundaries have been redrawn and it's likely she won't get in.

flumpybear · 03/09/2019 06:38

Monster raving loony party 🤣

Well perhaps Lib Dem - Tory and labour wouldn't get a sniff from me after their behaviours of late

HerSymphonyAndSong · 03/09/2019 06:45

I’m in a safe Tory seat but strong remain area so I wonder what that will do for his majority

Dogsarebetterthancatsok · 03/09/2019 06:46

Tory.

otterturk · 03/09/2019 06:48

Tory

homemadecommunistrussia · 03/09/2019 06:50

Liberal Democrat and there is some hope here

Dontgiveamonkeys1350 · 03/09/2019 06:51

I asked myself this question. But I will never vote for the Tories and not a chance I would vote for labour with him in charge. So it would have to be the Lib Dem’s. But people then say it will split the vote and BJ will win then.

Snowy111 · 03/09/2019 06:52

Unless the remain parties get together so they don’t stand against each other it will be a disaster. I don’t really want to vote labour but will do if it stops the Brexit debacle.

Same risk though for the Brexit side - brexit party might split the vote and not allow Blowjob his majority

Zampa · 03/09/2019 06:52

Me too.

I'll vote tactically for the Lib Dems as they are most likely to topple him, however unlikely that is.

Not a fan of Corbyn but anyone is better than Boris.

TemporaryPermanent · 03/09/2019 06:55

Tempted to vote green but probably Lib Dem because the current cabinet would literally step on my dead body on the way to the bank. I have never felt less like voting though. I dont want to give any of them anything.

Dljlr · 03/09/2019 06:56

Would never vote Tory. Wouldn't piss on JC if he was on fire so Labour out. The Lib Dems don't want my vote because I know what a woman is and they don't. Ditto the Greens. For the first time in my life, and I hope, the last, I will not vote. None of them speak for me.
