Come out, come out wherever you are!
I know it will mean you will be attacked and preached at, you will be told you are rich, uncaring and hate everyone except yourself, but will anyone stand with me and admit to planning on voting Conservative on June 8?
I can't be the only one surely? I didn't vote the Conservatives in by myself in 2015!

Again, how can people ignore this and vote for status quo?

Because few people vote on a single issue, and many also realize that the NHS is screwed if the economy stalls and the money to pay for it dries up, as it might well do under Corbo-communism.

Voting Labour for the NHS is like buying a ticket on a boat with a decent rudder but no engine and a drunk captain...

Only my personal opinion - you can put down the crossbows Shock. I just like the idea of my DDs growing up with a female PM showing them that nothing is unachievable. I believe TM was responsible for the laws on coercive control, changes to domestic violence and abuse act to change how victims are treated etc; fgm reporting rules, shared parental leave etc. If I'm wrong, I hold my hands up Grin. We will all never agree on politics.

My brother is an NHS doctor and votes for and supports the Conservatives. My children's father is a teacher and votes Conservative. Don't assume everyone working for the state supports the Labour party by any means!

LadyTennantofTardis · 06/05/2017 21:52

It's beyond my understanding how anyone would consider voting Tory given the state of our public services. I will be voting Lib Dem in the hope of a strong opposition against further cuts to nhs and schools.

FelixtheMouse · 06/05/2017 21:54

There is more to governing this country than running the NHS, social care and public education. Labour might be willing (being able to is another matter) to increase spending on these things but how competent would they be when it comes to Brexit, the future of the Union, N Ireland etc etc? Labour needs to drop the scare stories on the NHS ( which as a PP says, they've been running for years and it's still here) and show it's competent to deal with the whole range of what needs to be done.

yes good point....you too can grow up and be a psychopathic moron

Because as bad as things are under cons things could potentially get worse not better, and I believe that is what would happen to our public sector under labour.

Cons out only means things improve if a better not worse party get in.

FelixtheMouse · 06/05/2017 21:55

And no, I won't be voting for them.

chickpeaburger · 06/05/2017 21:56

I haven't read the full thread but anyone voting Labour is totally delusional.

Theresa May is doing a better job than I ever thought she would. I'm voting Conservative. I can't see anyone else, at the moment, that would do this as competently as she is.

TheMonkeyandthePlywoodViolin · 06/05/2017 21:57

What is she doing competently?

MrsSummerisle · 06/05/2017 21:57

Absolutely JaneEyre70 - love the fact that we're on our second female Tory PM and it feels almost totally normal. Contrast that with the paltry deputy and caretaker positions Labour uses to fob off its high profile women...

FamilySpartan · 06/05/2017 21:57

I'm not rich nor am I uncaring. I definitely will not be voting Labour though.

user1484578224 · 06/05/2017 21:57

what like strong and stable?

justkeepswimmingg · 06/05/2017 21:58

I won't be voting labour. Haven't quite decided who I'm voting for yet, but it will not be labour.

user1493759849 · 06/05/2017 21:59

The left on here are doing their usual trick of being unpleasant and derogatory towards anyone who doesn't agree with their 'far left' stance. Why do they do this? They don't do themselves any favours do they? Hmm

londonrach · 06/05/2017 21:59

Id say mn is the other way though rather than labour. Cant stand corbyn. I dont know anyone who does. I don't trust him. Mind you..i dont trust the others either...going to vote the lesser of bad evils!!

wordlemcfuddle · 06/05/2017 22:00

I am a Tory and will most likely vote because I feel i should, although I have never felt so disillusioned.

Labour - are a joke.
Lib dens - I didn't even know who Tim
Farron (?) was until last month.
UKIP - lost it
Conservatives - running around with same old rhetoric that is actually getting dull and not addressing issues in a way people can relate to
Greens - feel they need to bash everyone else

I wish some new parties would form that actually addressed real issues with a modicum of common sense.

TabascoToastie · 06/05/2017 22:00

Goady much?

Pretty sure the posters in the "oh but the left wing are so nasty and evil unlike us perfect pants Tories who never ever lower ourselves to be derogatory to anyone else adjusts halo" thread are not Labour supporters.

Besides MN is huge and encompasses a wide range of opinions.

Last time my constituency was 48% Tory, 23% UKIP, Lib Dem 14% and Lab 8% - Despite knowing it was a waste I voted Labour.
For the first time ever (and I am in my 50s) I can't vote Labour, and never will whilst Corbyn is in charge. No idea who to vote for this time round.

augustusglupe · 06/05/2017 22:01

I always have voted conservative and will do in June Smile

derxa · 06/05/2017 22:03

Frilly, you've mentioned the 'decent agricultural policy' a couple of times, could you outline what it is that you like about it? And presumably an arable farmer is going to be looking for different things from a sheep farmer, derxa? No we just want a fair deal for all

mumofzach · 06/05/2017 22:06

I will be voting Conservative. Mr Corbyn seems a decent fellow and very principled but don't have any faith in him as a leader.
