I’m in a safe Labour seat and think it’s unlikely to change.

Safe Labour seat and I doubt it will change. Biggest fear for me is Brexit party. I live in an old mining town so the Tories have no chance here but Brexit party may which will be a shame because our Labour MP is lovely. Plus obviously Brexit party suck.

Super marginal here currently held by Labour, I've got a terrible feeling it's going to turn blue Sad

Darklane · 11/12/2019 22:33

The Speaker will get in. I want the Independent

DonaldTrumpsChopper · 11/12/2019 22:34

I want the Independent. Tory is ahead in the polls.

Graphista · 11/12/2019 22:35

I want a labour win as I believe the only way to oust the tories is a labour win which will include more labour seats won here in Scotland.

Unfortunately it's likely to be another snp win. Huge snp support here and to be fair the current snp Mp has done a pretty good job and is genuinely interested and engaged with both local and national issues and is well liked.

But as snp only can stand in Scotland their getting seats will just split the non Tory wins and dilute labour successes.

We shall see tomorrow.

As a disabled, mentally ill, unemployable middle aged woman I'm feeling pretty shit on at the moment under the current govt and I'm desperately hoping for change.

I'm also worried for my disabled dd if tories get in again, I'm seriously worried about what's happening to the nhs and I'm seriously saddened and angry with what's happening on housing, welfare, employment...

Everything

I'm also dreading the possibility of a remotely hard brexit.

DowntonCrabby · 11/12/2019 22:37

I want the SNP to take it back from the tories but think they’ll hang onto it.

Bezalelle · 11/12/2019 22:38

Safe Labour, and I'm very glad about it.

TheClausSeason · 11/12/2019 22:40

I'd like Greens to win in my local seat, but it's a very safe Labour one so...

Why are we not campaigning harder for proportional representation?

Purplecatshopaholic · 11/12/2019 22:42

Currently an SNP seat and very likely to stay that way. Hope so, MP is great

KenDodd · 11/12/2019 22:47

Super safe Tory seat with a really shit Tory MP. He could be voting for the final solution in parliament and he'd still be elected here.

I'd like a Green to win.

QueenofLouisiana · 11/12/2019 22:51

You could stick a blue ribbon on a dead sheep here and it would storm in to Parliament! I’d like a Green win.

Waxonwaxoff0 · 11/12/2019 22:51

I'm in a marginal Tory seat. Labour is our only hope to unseat them. I'm hoping for a Labour victory as we have a few major concerns for our town, HS2 being one of them. Our current MP is useless but scrapes a win every time.

ICouldBeVotingTactically · 11/12/2019 22:54

Why are we not campaigning harder for proportional representation?

Yes yes.

That used to be the issue which determined my votes, before Brexit came along. Luckily there's a party likely to retain this seat which campaigns for PR and to stay in the EU, so no problem for me. However, it's a marginal, and so quite hard to call.

Next most likely party is also pro-EU, so I don't mind which one gets the seat. (I'm voting to safeguard the future of my country, I'm not marking them out of 10 on past performance!)

Neither party will form a government however, so it's a bit of a wasted vote in a way!

DrunkSanta · 11/12/2019 22:57

Sinn Fein safe seat which they will hold

jackstini · 11/12/2019 22:58

4% between Labour vs Tory (Tory won last time)

Am voting Labour tactically to try and avoid Tory Tory would be marginally better for our personal circumstances but could not not live with dumping the rest of the country in the crap

Would prefer Green but no point in this constituency

Babdoc · 11/12/2019 22:59

In a very tight marginal - only 21 vote majority.
Hoping the Tories will take it from the SNP.
Ideally with a whopping majority. But in reality I’d settle for a majority of one- anything to stop bloody Sturgeon shrieking that she’s somehow got a mandate for a second independence referendum that 56% of Scots don’t want.

tilder · 11/12/2019 23:04

True blue here. Has been for decades. Classic Tory. Nasty voting record. Foul man.

WarmSausageTea · 11/12/2019 23:34

And here, sadly.

fromthefloorboardsup · 11/12/2019 23:39

Labour Tory marginal. I want it to stay Labour and I think it will but it will be close. Hoping the Brexit party splits the Tory vote here.

fromthefloorboardsup · 11/12/2019 23:40

I feel you @tilder and @WarmSausageTea I had Michael Gove for a long time. Glad I moved!

DeeZastris · 11/12/2019 23:42

Snp Safe seat and cant see it changing. Can’t stand the current SNP MP but looks like I’m stuck with him.

Cattenberg · 11/12/2019 23:57

Our lazy Tory MP has a comfortable majority, so she’ll probably get in again. However, we’ve had a couple of Lib Dem MPs since 1997, so there’s always some hope. My first choice of MP would be Independent or Green, but there’s no chance of that here.

LarkDescending · 12/12/2019 00:07

Safe Labour, massive majority, no chance of a change there.

Whether he remains leader for long will be the more interesting question!

bert3400 · 12/12/2019 00:11

I am in a blue seat but our labour candidate is amazing. I am not sure what's going to happen tomorrow. My FB newsfeed is awash with positive red but then I think I defended all the raciest blues a while ago 😂
