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.

OP Ed Miliband wasn't electable. He lost the General Election. David Miliband would have been a different prospect.

Not Tory, obviously. I'm not evil.

Not Labour because of Corbin.

Not Liberal because they team up with the Tories.

Er...I'll wait and see who's on the ballot.

Not Labour. They no longer represent the views or aspirations that will make this a great country.
I loathe the short term Conservative divisive policies but I quite like the way May is getting on with the job. I get a sense she's got a brain and level of fairness missing in many Tory leaders.
Lib Dems and Greens have no polices that I believe.

LibDem for me

Labour

I'd probably spoil my ballot paper

I'm not traditionally a labour supporter, but I have more respect for Jeremy Corbyn than other recent leaders of the party. Ed Miliband was completely unelectable - I couldn't take him seriously at all....
I was impressed by Theresa May during PMQT the other day. I never liked Cameron that much - far too out of touch with the man on the street.
That said, I think I vote more for the party at national level, but for the individual at local level. I have voted lib dem several times at local level because of an excellent candidate, but never at national level because it would be a wasted vote.
I would vote Tory if we had an election tomorrow. That doesn't mean I necessarily agree with all of their policies (seriously does anyone agree with ALL of the policies of their preferred political party?!), but I see no viable alternative at the moment.

Mmmm Ed MillibNd was electable? He lost the bloody general election.

He was crap. Must admit I thought he was bottom of the barrel but no low and behold we get the ridiculous Corbyn.

Op you seriously really think the electorate would vote labour with Corbyn at the head? Anyone believing that either lives in cloud cooko land or has another agenda.

And would rather vote Tory than have a cabinet with Dianne Abbott around the table. Loathsome hypocrite and chancer.

Lib Dem.
Am usually a labour voter, but wary of Corbyn's ability to lead and be Prime Minister and really don't like many of his close allies. Also, I was/ am a remainder and the L D s are the only consistently and clearly pro Europe party.

I would vote Labour like I always do. Those are my principles. There's no-one else I can vote for.
I like Jeremy Corbyn anyway. And I like my local Labour MP

Teresa May is classy and appealing on a personal level. I think she's a good statesman but she's a Tory and those aren't my values.

I wish people would vote for policies and principles instead of personality.

Prob spoil my paper. And lifelong Labpur supporter but Corbyn just makes me shake my head in despair. Perhaps LibDem if they can get their act together (long shot)

I am an ex Labour Party member and activist, but there is no way I could vote for Corbyn under any circumstances He is simply not a credible candidate to lead a G7 country.

I would probably vote Lib Dem.

I wish people would vote for policies and principles instead of personality.

They do. It is important to recognise that parties shift their ground every election, so for example the new Labour party is completely different from the old one. The same is happening to the other parties.

Lib Dem. Ordinarily for tactical reasons but would feel ok about doing it for positive reasons, I think.

I vote on policies too but that said really you do have to have a leader that is capable of leading a party don't you? And credible to lead the country.
You have to have a leader you have faith and trust in and has charm and likability. Corbyn has none.

Conservative. I've got a hard-working constituency MP here, and the party has a steady PM.

I'm economically slightly right and socially liberal, so Conservative is the best fit for me.

Little hohum

But if you're a socialist who else can you vote for?

I believe in redistribution of wealth (including my own) to fund the NHS, public education, welfare and investment in public services. I believe in unilateral nuclear disarmament come to that.

I probably care a bit less about workers rights and unions than a traditional 'old Labour' voter.

I don't give much of an arse about the environment. I know I'm supposed to but it's not top of my agenda so I don't think I can vote Green.

I am pro-Europe and I think immigration is a mighty good thing.

Who's representing my views right now?

I'm absolutely fascinating by the mumsnet demographic. If there was an election tomorrow it would almost certainly result in a landslide Conservative victory but this certainly isn't reflected here.

It was ever thus

Fascinated not fascinating doh.

Conservative. In a solid conservative area. Don't agree with all their policies but overall they are the best fit with me

At a general election, we are not just deciding between competing baskets of policies. We are also choosing the leader of the country.

The UK is not Lithuania. We are big, rich, important country. We are the world's fifth largest economy, a member of the G7, we have nuclear weapons and a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. The City of London is global finance centre.

Running such a country is a big, serious job which requires a serious leader.

nobody i would just sit and cry they are acting like children and need a time out the lot of them >despair

Conservative here, I think Theresa May is doing a good job, so far.

It's a shame there isn't much competition though, I'm a Tory supporter and still see the value in strong opposition challenging them on their policies.
