I'm not. I'm in holiday. I expect we will stay Conservative here. No party is appealing to me or DH so we will not register for an ourselves vote. Labour will have no money. There won't be much change because the economy needs to grow and generate money first. If Labour can do this without alienating me, I might vote for them next time but I have huge doubts. I dislike parties saying what they will do without taking account of the very real issues they face. Eg recruiting teachers - where from? Recruiting doctors? Where from? Making them work weekends?? Ha ha! That's when surgeons do their private work. Dream on.

I was going to say that I'll be voting by placing a cross in the appropriate box 🤣

Labour - the incumbent Tory (who is not bad as Tories go) is standing down and they haven't a chance in this consituency without him, plus the Labour candidate is good.

I'm not enthused by Labour, but at least they are not attacking human rights and I have hopes that they will move away from most of the 'performative cruelty' and pointless, damaging culture wars of the Tory government and they seem to have fewer MPs who seem to be crazily and dangerously out of touch. It's a low bar, but Labour step over it at least.

TizerorFizz · 22/05/2024 22:59

What human rights? They don't want illegal Immigrants either. If that's what you mean?

AdamRyan · 22/05/2024 23:00

Nice poll OP!
Labour. I'm excited.

AdamRyan · 23/05/2024 08:59

Bumping for the morning crowd

Bazinga007 · 23/05/2024 09:43

God knows.

We are in a safe tory seat and very unlikely to change. I can't vote tory, but Labour have put some numpty from gogglebox as their candidate. So no idea.

SallyWD · 23/05/2024 10:13

Labour. I'm not a massive fan of Starmer but am a life long supporter. I'm more than ready for change!!

danesch · 23/05/2024 10:16

Labour. I'm basically an anti-Tory voter and here that means Labour.

CeeJay81 · 23/05/2024 10:22

Either Labour or Lib Dem but I feel like it'll b pointless because it's one of the safest Tory Seats in the country 😥

ThomasinaLivesHere · 23/05/2024 10:28

I’m in a SNP seat. I’ll be voting Labour. I wasn’t sure about voting for them but their candidate seems sensible. It’ll be interesting to see how things go here what with all the SNP issues.

Allthecatseverywhereallatonce · 23/05/2024 10:54

Labour.

MrsSkylerWhite · 23/05/2024 10:55

Labour.

Mark Menzies is our current MP……..

craigth162 · 23/05/2024 10:57

Not sure yet....anyone but tory

Lonelycrab · 23/05/2024 11:01

Lib D as they’re the only ones capable of getting close to outing the Tories in my constituency. Will probably still fail sadly.

TizerorFizz · 23/05/2024 18:06

The problem is funding for Labour ambitions. I have ambitions to stay in the best hotels everywhere and fly first class - my income doesn't match ambition.

I've heard so many people say the NHS will be saved, the schools will get more teachers, waiting lists for operations will be slashed, immigration will be tackled (vast majority of immigrants have government issued visas!), the cost of living will be eased, benefits will be increased etc etc etc. How? It's impossible. Labour is not going to promise they can do all of this. What they are doing is pointing out the issues. Any idiot can do that.

Where are teachers, doctors, etc going to come from if we don't want immigration? Many Brexit areas have the highest number of immigrants. Watch them vote Reform and pull up the drawbridge. Suella Braverman supporters. We cannot get people to do jobs they don't want to do. Even increasing pay won't help much. Labour wants surgeons to work at weekends - I'd love to see that.

We want everything and Labour wants change - but how?

MooseAndSquirrelLoveFlannel · 23/05/2024 18:25

Tory probably. Kier Starmer is just not the person to run the country and what other option is there?

Hedjwitch · 23/05/2024 18:31

Dont know. Tactically against the SNP I suppose

Exactly. Labour aren't saying who's paying for it all once the top taxed cut their losses for sunnier climes.

makeanddo · 23/05/2024 18:33

Independent or will spoil my ballot. Am absolutely dreading a Labour government.

HalfasleepChrisintheMorning · 23/05/2024 18:35

Tory. Have a great constituency MP now who is Tory. The Labour candidate was useless before.
I’l generally slightly right of centre and my priorities are low taxation including IHT and no VAT on education.
