AIBU to ask you who you would vote for if a General Election were to be called tomorrow?

[Nakatomi]

And why would you vote that way? For you, do you vote for your party or for your local MP?

I am a Corbyn supporter but dislike my local MP for resigning from the front bench. Shame, because she's actually quite a good MP otherwise. I would probably still vote for her to get Labour into power but otherwise I would vote for the Greens.

Would have to be conservative in Scotland. Ruth Davidson is the only credible opposition to Nicola Sturgeon who talks a lot of crap and thankfully her popularity and that of the SNP is falling,
As a labour supporter all my life l have no faith at all in the leaders either here in Scotland or in Westminster

I only voted lib dem once when I got sucked in by Cleggmania. I swore never again because they put the Tories in power. Massive betrayal IMO.

Otherwise I've always voted labour and largely supported both Brown and Blair (sorry I know it's not a popular opinion).

Now I wouldn't trust Corbyn to look after my cat, let alone the Country. I don't want to go back to 70's style socialism. I hate his duplicitous stance over Brexit. I would rather vote for May and trust her to run the country more than JC. That's after a weekend of spewing hard brexit shite at the Tory conference.

So I'm not actually loon enough to vote Tory. I won't vote for labour under Corbyn (but will if they got someone moderate in by the GE).

Would never vote UKIP. Think Greens are pointless. So lib dems it is. I admire their pro-EU stance, they have proved themselves in government up to quite recently. I would love to see Nick Clegg back in with some responsibility but it's never going to happen.

I live in a previously safe labour seat but think all bets are off now. Hope lib dems field a good candidate in my area.

I ideal world a pro-EU party would emerge to save us from Brexit hell.

I don't know maybe LibDems

I'm a member of the Labour Party and have always voted for Labour. I will never vote for Labour while Corbyn is leading the party

MooPointCowsOpinion his proposal don't add up the are crowd pleasers

his terrorist connections, unprofessional attitude, his turning a blind eye towards bullying in the party are just a few reasons why I would never vote for him

I don't even believe that Corbyn is an antagonist, he's not even that effective. He spends his life preaching to the choir, talking policy to people who support him anyway. He never, ever puts himself in a difficult position.

I'm at the Tory voters questioning why people think Tories are evil. Have none of you ever seen 'A Letter From Concentrix' threads on here? Listened to teachers whose jobs are under threat because budgets have been slashed? Oh no, it's okay, because 'I'm all right, Jack'.

They are evil. Stop voting for them.

Why so anti-democracy?

History shows that benevolent dictatorships rarely remain so.
What convinces you that JC will be different?

Labour party member but can't vote for them whilst Corbyn is leader.

For the first time ever I may spoil my paper.

Labour.

I was a Lib Dem until they got into bed with the Tories.

Yoko - just so there's no misunderstanding, I lost my 18 year public sector career due to the austerity measures implemented by Government - and I'm a Tory.

Many of those 18 years were spent in dispair of the waste and inefficiencies displayed by a public sector which literally had so much money they didn't know what to do with it. The legacy is still ongoing, 6 years after I left. I now work in the charity sector and we are finally making use of the resources abd equipment stashed in warehouses and storage units - things bought 10-15 years ago and never used.

The greed and averice displayed in the public sector during Blairs time is far more 'evil' in my opinion - because they knew they wouldn't have to pick up the pieces, so spent regardless.

Tory, now Cameron has gone. Have never, and will never, vote Labour, as I don't find any of them (apart from Dan Jarvis) remotely trustworthy (and I only have time for him as he is ex military).

I'm very undecided.

If it were today, I'd vote Conservative. I've never voted for them before.

I've voted LibDem, Labour & Conservative in previous GE's so would probably be classed as a swinging voter.
I vote for the MP not the party, so it would be conservative if I was voting today.

I do agree with other posters saying that the Tories have been very very bad in some areas. It's effected me massively as I'm a teacher. The happiest day of my life was when Gove was reshuffled out. The fact that both the NUT and the ATL passed a motion of no-confidence in him said it all (it has never happened before or since).

Lifetime Labour voter, and Labour party member. Will not be voting Labour whilst Jeremy Corbyn is leader.

I think it'sounds either Lib Dems or a spoil to paper for me.

I actually do hope there is a GE, so the Labour party can get rid of Corbyn and the Momentum leeches once and for all.

Tories.

Labour are a godawful childish mess whose MPs abdicated their responsibilities because they didn't like the result of an agreed democratic process, Lib dems are non-existent, and ukip are a joke who seem to think we can have free access to the single market without accepting free movement.

Right now I'm looking for a bit of stability. No other party can offer that (and even the Torres might self implode at any minute).

I am beyond bemused that after 6 years of running the NHS and education into he ground and the damage wrought upon the country that people think the tories are a good option.

Why after 6 years of a failed austerity agenda that has had zero impact on reducing the deficit would you vote for them again? Can you think of a single thing that the tories have not made worse?

As an ex teacher and now someone who works for the vulnerable I would vote Tory.

But why? Name one good thing they've done in 6 years that has made things better.

But the Libdems might not be "nonexistent" if people actually progressed from thinking "I like their policies but they're no hopers" to putting a cross next to them at the ballot box. How can change happen otherwise?

Why are people so spineless and afraid?

I am a swing voter I think its odd to ally yourself for your life to one party, it turns politics on its head and becomes more like a tribal /religious thing.

Anyway at the moment without a shadow of a doubt Tory and TM in particular. I think she has the perfect balance to lead us through Brexit, ie a remainer albeit a quiet one and a strong women with good gov experience.

JC - well....

But why? Name one good thing they've done in 6 years that has made things better

why not look at the chaos Blair left us with - chaos.

Name one good thing they've done in 6 years that has made things better.

Put a stop to the horrific greed and wastage in the public sector that I described upthread, for a start. Unless you were actually there at the time, the excesses would sound unbelievable.

Storage units and warehouses stacked with literally hundreds of thousands of £ worth of 'resources' (books, computers, furniture, and other tat you cant even imagine) never used for the benefit of the community.

Vehicles, each worth tens of thousands each, sat idle for years after minimal use.

Never mind the jollies conferences staff attended, hosted/funded by central government, with gala dinners and swanky venues - for even the most lowly of staff (me).

It's not a bloody surprise that the Torys have to cut back now in order to compensate for the excesses of the Blair Government - if Labour managed the rest of the economy the way I saw local government over-resourced and poorly scrutinised, there's a decades worth of damage to undo.

Why are people so spineless and afraid?

I don't think calling people spineless helast your cause much.

*helps

I know it's an unpopular view but I do agree with UC/ tax credits being limited to two children.

I agree with pupil premium.

I agree with the minimum wage being raised from £6.50 to £7.20 - not a small amount.

I agreed with the referendum: the result I am ambivalent about but I think it was an important democratic process.

I agree with the increase of free hours given to three year olds.

I agree with same sex marriage.

All in all I suppose as I get older I am increasingly finding myself with a 'conservative' mindset: am often nodding along with Theresa May.

What I don't like: zero hour contracts, 'agency Britain', cuts to disabled people (but I do think it is acceptable to revisit a condition and sensitively ask pertinent questions about whether work might now be viable when once it was not - I'm aware by all accounts that isn't happening now.)

I would vote Lib Dem (having never done so before) purely because we would get a second refurendum on Brexit.

I would do anything for us to stay in the EU.
