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?

I'll be voting Conservative.

I'm also Harriet Harman and that's a fairly safe seat so I'll probably stick with her. Otherwise I'd go lib dems too.
This, I think, is the first time I'll be voting for the person I dislike the least. Usually I've always been very clear in who I want and my reasons why.
A very sad state of affairs.

Tactically against the Tory. In my constituency that is labour and even though Corbyn is useless my current labour MP is great

Not sure yet apart from not voting Tory.
Usually labour though not impressed with them atm.

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 suspect that is only going to get worse. Power is far too centralised in this country. People who are more left wing than others (or the reverse) should be able to pour their energies into at least convincing those in their locality to support the policies they want. When all power is centralised we can do nothing except yell at each other. It will be much the same when we have an electable opposition again.

My family were all staunch Conservatives but they would have laughed at the idea that a Labour MP couldn't be a great person or that the Labour party might not come up with some ideas worth considering. The way we are divided now would have shocked them

Labour - as I'm a member and no point voting lib-dem here as that risks handing the seat to the Tories. If I was in a libdem/tory marginal I'd vote libdem. Never Tory.

In Scotland in a seat that swung from Labour to SNP. I'm a natural Labour voter but cant stand what Corbyn has done in dismantling the centre ground. The prospect of Indyref2 is even worse though. i can see the Tories making a lot of gains in Scotland as a FU to the SNP's obsession with it. It's poor all around to me.

I consider myself a centrist.

I have voted LD, Tory and Labour in the past.

At the moment the problem for me is just how far to the right the Conservatives have gone since June. The idea that its left or right and nothing in the middle distorts the perception together with how politics has shifted. There are plenty of centrists who are currently being labelled as lefties despite not being so.

I also don't think MN is particularly left leaning and attracts more than its fair share of left leaners considering its demographic.

Women on the whole are also more likely than men to be centrists or towards the left simply because they are more greatly affected by cuts to social security and tend to be lower earners. You would expect a slightly more left / centre representation on MN for this reason, but I don't think its untypical of women as a whole.

Also, MN has a generally younger readership than of all women. Pensioners tend to be more right wing - and whilst there are older posters here they are a smaller group than the general population.

MN seems to me, to simply represent who uses it rather than be politically leaning more one way than another.

Blimey, what a decision.

Tories - Twats
Labour- Twats
Lid Dem - Twats
UKIP - Twats
Greens - Twats

And the OP mentioned The Women's Equality Party-never heard of them, don't know their policies, but I can imagine 90% of their energies will be concentrated on the Trans debate, which only accounts for a tiny percentage of women's actual problems. So, I'll go out on a limb here and say Twats.

Exactly this ^^ it's all I've been saying all day.

We should all form a new party.

However I have 3 kids under 5 and zero time to get on a soap box, so I will probably vote libdem because I can't bring myself to vote Labour under Corbyn.

I'm just glad my grandfather is long dead, he's probably been turning in his grave ever since they refused to kick Livingstone out.

Paris the Scottish No to Independence vote is split across 3 parties (Labour, Conservative and LibDem). That gave the SNP a clean sweep despite being in a minority on the issue of Independence.

Similarly the pro Brexit vote is likely to clearly align with the Conservatives. It is evident from this thread and elsewhere that the anti-Brexit vote is split.

I know quite a few conservative voters Who are outraged at Brexit and who will vote libdem

I dearly wish to see scotland turning out in droves to give the PM her mandate and get sturgeon to shut up. The conservatives will be voted in anyway. All it will do is make negotiating with the eu easier if we join in with our English pals. Nobody can protect us from snp cuts anyway.

I'll be voting SNP - I'm a member of the Scottish Greens and I vote for them in the Holyrood elections, but I think we need to make the point to May & Westminster that we'll no be having any English nonsense....

I think this might backfire horribly on TM and her cabal...

As someone from scotland can I ask all UK voters to consider voting conservative. We voted to stay in the UK and at the moment the conservatives are the only ones really standing up for the will of the Scottish people and for the union.

Stripey- I am one of them! Still not happy with them for that so not voting for them

we'll no be having any English nonsense....

All nonsense is English according to the SNP.

All nonsense is English according to the SNP.

It certainly looks that way at the moment unfortunately.

I never thought I would say this as I was a staunch NO three years ago.

Same as my OH. And a lifelong member of the labour party.

It pains him but he will be voting SNP in June.

I'm in a quandary as to whether to go SNP or stay Labour. I don't think Corbyn is up to the job but I want a strong opposition to keep the Tories in check as I'm pretty sure they'll win sadly.

@Pettywoman If I was in England, I'd probably vote Labour tactically. In Scotland, depending on your constituency SNP might be a better bet from a tactical perspective. I like Kezia, though!

Lib dem. Tory mp here but lib dems are second so hoping it'll change.
Ld - anti brexit
Tory - just awful
Labour - a shambles

Tactically against the Tory
This. Would like to vote Labour but will vote LibDem as they're the only party that could unseat the Tories here. (Labour came fourth here - behind Ukip - in the last GE )

It's a very safe Tory seat here with over 50% at the last election. UKIP came in second (which is worrying) with Labour third and the Lib Dems a close fourth. I'll probably 1) vote Lib Dem, 2) expect a Tory win and 3) end up relieved that UKIP didn't get in!
