to wonder if you voted Tory in 2015 but voted Remain in 2016...

are you more likely to vote for the Conservatives (and by extension a possible hard Brexit) or the Liberal Democrats if they run under a manifesto of stopping/reversing Brexit or pushing for a soft Brexit?

I voted Tory and voted remain.

I shall most likely vote Tory again as I agree with the majority of their views, more so than other parties.

(Personally I'm more inclined to set up my own party...)

I live in a Conservative-dominated but strong Remain area. I know a few Tory voters locally who are going to vote LibDem this time. Our area could definitely go yellow.. it has been close before.

I will vote lib dem (they should win the seat). We need some form of opposition - just for good government.

I'm a swing voter. Voted Tory last time due to one specific policy.

I'm in a very safe Tory seat so I didn't worry too much about my vote last time.

This time I'm voting Lib Dem and am very sad because I think my seat is still very safe - even though it was a remain seat.

I voted Tory in 2015 (against my better judgement but liked our local candidate) and voted Remain in 2016

I am undecided so far in this election but definitely won't vote Tory again. I'd like to vote LibDem but it will depend on the local candidate and whether I believe he/she has a decent chance of winning. If the LibDem candidate is weak then I will most likely vote Labour. (I haven't checked up on my local candidates yet)

I also voted Tory for the first time (and last for the foreseeable future) thanks to fear that UKIP might get in locally.

Our MP was a Remainer and apparently campaigned for Remain but it must have been quietly - though our constituency voted remain (as did I).

Although I was a Remainer, I accept the Brexit result and get angry at all the hand wringing. It shouldn't be reversed and I actually would have trusted TM to see us through it. But I disagree with too many other Tory policies.

I won't be voting Tory this time. I am not a natural Tory. Nor am I a Labour supporter, or Green. Both parties seem to have splendid social ideals but no real idea how to implement them. Tony Blair broke the Labour Party imo. UKIP - just no. So it looks like a return to be Liberal comfort zone - assuming we get a Lib Dem candidate of course...
