Labour

The Tory party have behaved appallingly, the hell that was Brexit, the Johnson years, the lies, more lies and spin, Covid and all that money that's been funnelled into private hands. They have been shamelessly shafting the country.

I live in a Tory stronghold ( Andrew Mitchell land) I will still vote Labour

Conservative. The spiteful tax on working parents who have just managed to afford school fees and will have to disrupt their kids education is just nasty. Why try to harm anyone’s education? No other country taxes education (it’s banned in the EU!) and there’s nothing to stop them also adding it to uni fees, preschool / nursery fees / music lessons etc.

And their lack of protection of women’s rights obviously.

Why try to harm education... and yet you're voting for the tories 🤣

Lib Dem or Greens.

JohnofWessex · 22/05/2024 20:18

Green

Redlocks30 · 22/05/2024 20:18

The Tories have systematically destroyed state education over the last 14 years, anyone will be an improvement on them.

Charlie2121 · 22/05/2024 20:19

Never Labour.

I live in one of the safest Conservative seats there is so even if they perform poorly I’ll still have a Conservative MP. In fact I’ve never lived anywhere that hasn’t had a Conservative MP even when I was a child.

We're likely to have a choice between Labour and Corbyn as an independent. I think there is a good chance Corbyn will win if he stands, and considering whether to vote for him. Whilst he was useless Labour leader, he's a good constituency MP

I hope he does win. I totally admire him as a politician. The way he was vilified by the media was criminal.

If I lived in England and he was still Labour leader I would vote Labour. Living in Scotland I would never vote for Scottish Labour and if I was in England would not vote for Starmer's Labour. The only exception would be a strong socialist Labour candidate and that is not going to happen with central office control on candidates.

IAmThe1AndOnly · 22/05/2024 20:20

I refuse to be bullied into voting labour on the basis that not doing so means the conservatives will get in.

Thats just not a good enough reason to vote for a sub standard party whose motto at the moment seems to be “we’re not the tories.”

This has always been the case near me. I’ve voted lib debs as a tactical vote, which has always made sense in the past, but I was so pissed off when they decided to co with cons in the past,

However I recently still voted for them as I thought they were still the majority in our area ( cumbria)…. But it turns out many people voted Labour in a recent local election. So I’ll be doing that this time

I hear you! I’d love to do that, but more than usual voted for Labour the election before last in our constituency and for the first time in a long time the Con candidate got in. I couldn’t live with the guilt if that happened again.

Loveatortie · 22/05/2024 20:24

I have no idea who and if i will vote for any of them. I'm in my sixties, first time I'm thinking why bother🤷‍♀️

pharmachameleon · 22/05/2024 20:30

I don't have a clue. I'm in Scotland so definitely not the SNP or Greens.

ladygindiva · 22/05/2024 20:31

Labour, although they are far from perfect.

At least you’ll spilt the Tory vote.

but failed racist Tory bigots aren’t the solution.

None of your business who she votes for

youjustdontgetbabyGertrudesnow · 22/05/2024 20:58

I'm stuck in a shit sandwich. Tory seat. Next biggest party SNP. I don't want either of them. At all. We had an excellent Lib Dem MP for many years but in more recent times it has been a series of conservative yes men who only reply to emails with all be size fits all replies and always follow the party line. The one we have now is the worst. Even in votes where backbenchers have revolted, he just blindly follows the government. So power hungry and very little care for his actual constituents.

Luxell934 · 22/05/2024 20:58

Labour. But I’m not really sure what Kier stands for, he seems very middle ground sat on the fence kind of guy and I’m leaning way more left than he currently appears to be.

C1N1C · 22/05/2024 20:59

I don't vote. The parties that I'd want are nowhere near powerful enough to matter, and the rest are twats.

Not worth my energy.

TicketQ · 22/05/2024 19:24

I’m reasonably old, with clear memories of the last Labour government. So I will vote Conservative, albeit extremely reluctantly.

Same.

Which is why I'll vote Labour.

It was a glorious era

bobbyrt · 22/05/2024 21:02

Lib dem or hold my nose and Tory

I'll listen to Labour but VAT on private school fees and rights of women are too key for me to vote for them. I also fear what they might do to childcare support the Tories just brought in 🤷‍♀️

TellySavalashairbrush · 22/05/2024 21:06

Labour. It’s a 2 horse race so any other vote is a wasted one if we want to get the tories out.

shoofly · 22/05/2024 21:06

Alliance Party (Northern Ireland), I don't have the option to vote for Labour, & not wildly impressed by them but I am old enough to remember a labour government and it was like a golden era compared to the venal lying shit show we've been subjected to by the tories

App13 · 22/05/2024 21:07

Tory

TheMousePipes · 22/05/2024 21:07

I have no idea at the moment. I won’t vote Tory - never have, never will. But I won’t vote Labour either - I feel too strongly about vat on education and women’s safe spaces. So. Fuck knows.

Voltefarce · 22/05/2024 21:08

Conservatives
