Who to vote for in General Election?

[Pariswhenitdrizzles]

Aargh.

Would normally vote for Lib Dems (feel like I should apologise for this!), and voted for them in the last two elections. In an ideal world, I'd vote for them or Labour, but I'm not keen on Jeremy Corbyn's (or Tim Farron's) leadership. Really don't want to vote Conservative.

Wondering perhaps about voting for the Women's Equality Party? They seem pretty good, but are still quite a small party.

What does everyone else think?

This really is a time for the "anything but" vote.

Where I live it's very close between LibDem and Labour - huge Remain area so suspect the LibDems might win it for the first time ever.

Tories got hammered in 2010 but just seen they got 25% of the vote in 2015 when the LibDems ran a new unknown candidate, so maybe not 100% safe non-Tory.

Just had a look at my local stats, except in 1929-1931 when we were liberal, my constituency has always been Tory since 1885. The current mp has been here since 1997. 20 years in the same job! Think it's time for a change shame they've won by a majority of over 50% for the last 3 elections

Oh wow catastrophe - whereabouts is your constituency, if you don't mind me asking?

I'll be voting Tory - Mainly to keep out the SNP.

I'm just hoping all of the "48%" who voted to Remain (and anyone else who supported being on the EU and who's now of voting age) will vote for a pro-EU party ie. Labour or the Lib Dems.

Wonder what are the chances of having a coalition again? Does anyone else think we might have another coalition?

*being in the EU

I live in a London Labour safe seat. Back in the 90s, Labour redrew the boundaries so this formerly staunch Tory area turned red .

I am a floater. But the bigger parties have all f**ked up so badly for my interests that I will be voting for a minority party. I'd rather waste a vote than not vote at all (I was brought up by a mother who banged on about the Suffragettes and the womans NEED to vote, not a choice in her eyes).

Is completely inconceivable that we could wish for another lib dem/tory coalition which would at least seek to get us out of a hard brexit scenario?

Nobody thought that would happen in 2010 but it did

Frazzled I'm hoping that might be a possibility. I think the Lib Dems would rein the Tories in a bit (hopefully).

I'll be voting to try to oust our Tory MP. He's a bigwig and has a huge majority. In my constituency, the Lib Dems always come second - so they'll be getting my vote.

I have never voted Tory but given the choice of JC or TM I'd have to go with the tories. Having JC in charge of the country now with everything that's going on in the world would be an utter disaster imo and leave the country incredibly vulnerable. I'll probably vote Lib Dem for those reasons

I'd rather chew off my own arm than vote to keep those fucking tories in. But where I live is very Tory.
Followed by Ukip.

SNP voter here

paris I'm in Kent so nice and blue down here.

I live in a very safe Labour seat, they got three times the votes of the Tories in this area last time so I feel a bit like my vote never counts.

I always vote though and seen as Brexit is something I vehemently oppose I will vote Lib Dem this time.

Don't forget the 52% will be voting in the same way as the 48%. Tactically and / or to put down a Brexit marker. Lesson from Scotland. Leave only polled 45% but because the Remain 55% was split over 3 Parties the 2015 GE Result was an SNP landslide overturning decades of Labour rule with a healthy Lib/Dem minority.

In this case the Tories are the only ones with a clear message for the 52% and if the 48% splits Labour / Lib Dem / ANother it surely favours them.

I will vote for the only party that is anti-Brexit and feel I have no other choice despite having voted Labour in every GE since becoming eligible to vote. Brexit is too big and its effects too potentially catastrophic to ignore.

howabout, what do you mean about the Scotland referendum Remain result being split across three parties? Sorry, I'm being a bit dim

@LittleLionMansMummy

To what end? Brexit is now inevitable.

The type of Brexit isn't Happymayday.

@idiot

You're right but 'fucked because of an ineffectual moron leading the British negotiations' isn't a type I'm yearning for.

I'm always amazed by how left-leaning MN is. I feel like I'm in a minority voting Conservative and I feel dirty and ashamed for writing it down here.

I'm in an uber safe London Conservative seat so might go on holiday on 8th of June.

A Tory victory, no matter how huge, doesn't change the government's negotiation hand with the EU. This idea that it will somehow makes things better on that front is wrong.

There's been a few comments on this on twitter but there are a few speculating that an increased Tory majority would help May because she would be less dependent on her hardest Brexiteers. Thus this makes a softer solution easier.

I'm not sure if I believe this, but its an interesting way of viewing it. I think we will get a better idea when the manifesto is published. Look out for the position on the Human Rights Act and the EHCR in particular.
