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

Safe Tory - hope it stays that way.

Katharinblum · 12/12/2019 07:16

900 votes between tory and labour but suspect it will remain tory Sad
Big leave area but very deprived so pretty much turkeys voting for xmas
again !

Stooshie8 · 12/12/2019 07:19

Would like Cons but there's a chance we get arsey GRA supporting (it's their policy) SNP.

ShowOfHands · 12/12/2019 07:27

You could put blue glitter on a turd and people would elect it here. Current Tory MP is an awful man with a vile voting record and no compassion. But he'll walk it. Labour candidate is bright, educated and compassionate. It's a real shame.

DookofBust · 12/12/2019 07:32

V safe Tory seat. I quite like my MP but not his wider party. Still have no idea where to put my x and I am voting at 8am.

Of course it doesn’t make any difference here 🤷🏻‍♀️.

ThunderboltandLightning · 12/12/2019 07:48

Another one with a stick a blue rosette on a turd and they'll get elected seat. And this time, we really do have a turd. A thick one to boot. Previous candidate crossed the floor. New Tory boy is 5 minutes out the forces, has no experience, doesn't live in the constituency, doesn't know anything about Tory policies etc. He will still get elected.

I voted LibDem in the end, but it will make no difference.

livingmyslothlife · 12/12/2019 07:50

Allliance to get in but DUP will AGAIN

DebbieFiderer · 12/12/2019 07:59

I'd love our Tory MP to get voted out but he won't. However I do keep a sliver hope as we are a Remain area and he voted every single time for every kind of hard/no deal Brexit, so maybe that will sway some people (I'm pretty sure it has swayed my parents). Problem is, it isn't clear who to vote for to unseat him, I'm worried that the votes against him will be split between Labour and Lib Dem, and even if he doesn't get an absolute majority like normal, he sill still get in.

ifonly4 · 12/12/2019 08:08

Well we're in a very safe Tory seat, in a constituency that was clearly in favour of leave so nothing will change there. Three of us voting here, and two are voting green!

bigbluebus · 12/12/2019 08:13

Safe Tory seat here too held by an odious man who has done nothing useful in the 22 years he's held his seat. He knocked on my door the other day so at least I had the satisfaction of telling him personally why I wouldn't be voting for him. He made it clear that he was in favour of selling the NHS as in his opinion it isn't sustainable due to the population increase! Lucky for him he can afford private health care unlike most of the people living in my street. I will be putting my X next to Labour as it is the only faint chance we have of challenging the Tory. I don't like Corbyn and don't agree with all if Labour's manifesto but I stand by their ethos.

leckford · 12/12/2019 08:14

Safe conservative seat, MP seems OK. Both off to vote for her shortly

gingercat02 · 12/12/2019 08:19

Safe Labour seat. Decent bloke but big leave vote so Brexit party could be a risk

Beamur · 12/12/2019 08:21

Marginal swing seat. Currently Tory but hugely unpopular in parts of constituency, but big support for Cons elsewhere.
Could go either way as Greens not fielding a candidate this time.

Pinkiii · 12/12/2019 08:36

Safe Tory seat, however our MP has now left the tories and joined the labour party so hoping his followers go with him

chipsandpeas · 12/12/2019 08:38

Snp should keep the seat here

JosephineDeBeauharnais · 12/12/2019 08:43

We've got one of the vilest of vile Tories. MRA, hang 'em and flog 'em, anti gay marriage, hard Brexiteer the lot. He's got a small-ish majority and a bad reputation but Sunday Times had him down as vulnerable so even though I'm worried about Labour anti-Semitism I'm going to vote Labour and hope to turn him out.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 12/12/2019 08:45

Safe blue seat with yellow nipping at heels (as a protest). Red may as well pack up now, despite their whining.

Blue best of an awful bunch, only because they will protect women's rights.

JosephineDeBeauharnais · 12/12/2019 08:46

Next door constituency to us currently Labour but only a handful majority and is likely to turn blue, so if we overturn our Tory there'll be no overall gain.

wendz86 · 12/12/2019 08:48

Mine is usually conservative but labour were close last time so could beat them I feel .

KenDodd · 12/12/2019 08:48

Classic Tory. Nasty voting record. Foul man

Exactly the same as mine. He sticks the boot into the poor and disabled at every opportunity.

CoffeeRunner · 12/12/2019 08:49

Another one with a vile Tory MP with a huge
majority.

Labour always come second, but way behind. It would be absolutely wonderful if our wannabe Boris got defeated. But I doubt it.

Gilead · 12/12/2019 08:49

Safe labour, thankfully. Think we may get another hung parliament.

TheWoollybacksWife · 12/12/2019 08:50

Safe Tory seat (15k vote majority) for an ERG hardliner. Would love to see him ousted and the only credible alternative is the Labour candidate. It's a Leave area so I'm not very optimistic.

I'm watching the result from my previous constituency though. The Tory MP there has a much smaller majority and the Labour candidate is very good. It's seen as a bellwether constituency too but it's also in a Leave area.

Elbeagle · 12/12/2019 08:52

What I want to happen: anyone but Andrew bridgen.
What I think will happen: Andrew Bridgen.

MaJoady · 12/12/2019 08:54

Very safe Tory seat, with a lazy, sexist MP who is bound to win. Sort of man who has been shown to not repeatedly not turn up to his cabinet duties and was embroiled in the President's Club Dinner scandal. At the time it was all "I had no idea it was going to be like that" sad face, until it turned out he had been going for a few years.

I'll be voting Lib Dem, the only party with any hope (still very slim) of ousting the man.
