To wonder labour supporters what you are all going to do on Friday

[thisismeusernameything]

If you wake up and are still under conservative rule?

Not goady, just genuinely interested in how you intend to make life better for yourself and those around you

I hope Labour lose. Although I'm not keen on the Tories either.

But whatever happens I hope people don't gloat.

But I have a terrible feeling that it will be the referendum all over again and the left's mask will slip and we'll see just the contempt they hold anybody who's not with them in.

I'll be going to work to do the job of about 3 people as fundings been slashed due to the cuts, I'll be trying to urgently move women and children into housing far away to keep them safe with no actual funds, handing out food bank vouchers, trying to access mental health service for someone hollow laugh etc etc.

I wish those that voted Tory could work in the Social Care area for a week to see the effect the cuts on services have.
Our family won't struggle personally, higher rate tax payers, health insurance, but I see the effect of government policies everyday and it's horrifying.

People will gloat.

Last time and after referendum people were talking about cracking open champagne on threads where people were saying they were in tears about the results because of their jobs..

I'm not going to angry at the Tories when they win tomorrow. In all fairness to them, they put up the poorest candidate for a generation and hardly even fought an election campaign, they did what they could to put Labour in power.

I'm saving my anger for the Corbynisters, the ones who will say that it doesn't matter that Labour lost because they kept themselves ideologically pure. The ones who feel that it's less important to move to the Centre, where the majority of the electorate actually live, than to have any power to make the lives of the desperate any less grim.

Before I left the UK, I worked in a sector where I met desperately poor people every day. I was never able to find a single one who's actual problem was not owning the means of production, the ownership of the railways or any other bit of hard left dogma. Most of them just needed an extra tenner a week, an extra tenner than an electable Centerist Labour leader would have been able to give them.

So, I'm not miffed at the Tories, they threw this election, I'm miffed at a bunch of ideologist who couldn't manage to catch it.

I'm saving my anger for the Corbynisters

Me too. Tories gonna Tory, it's what they do; I feel the same about them as I always have. However I'm bloody furious with Labour for betraying me, refusing to represent me and choosing this incredibly momentous time in our country's history to fuck about with ideological changes, backstabbing and leadership squabbles. Idiots.

Although if the one thing Jezza manages is to get young people voting, he will have done a good thing. I do worry they're going to be disheartened and put off when the Tories get in though.

Bill is right. The only people on my FB who have been posting things like giant middle fingers and saying, "this is for any cunt who votes Tory" are labour supporters. Is it any wonder there are "shy Tories" when some so-called liberals think that way about anyone outside their corbyn cult?!

Tidy up

Friday - I'll feel miserable and hollowed-out, just like I did after Brexit. I'll try to take some comfort from the fact that the Tories will have to shoulder Brexit, which they will inevitably fuck up massively. I'll try to get some work done but will probably spend all day on social media and watching the news, because I'm a masochist.

Long term - Dp and I have already decided to do a monthly Big Shop for our local food bank, and I will be volunteering there as well.

I will be more active in my local Labour Party and prepare for a massive landslide victory in 2022.

I will go into work on Monday (a job that means I have one foot in the NHS and one in education), commiserate with my colleagues and try to reassure my students that there will be a actually be a functional NHS for them to work in once they qualify...

I will count my many, many blessings and try to do my best for those who weren't born with the luck I was. Because they're gonna need all the help they can get in the next 5 years.

In the even longer term, honestly, probably take advantage of dp's nationality and move to Scotland...

Draylon yes exactly, that's what I meant!

After the last GE I made the decision to retrain and move to a sector which is well-paid, as secure as they come, and has a global shortage of qualified professionals. Luckily I was in a position to do so. I'll encourage those I know starting their careers to consider the impact that another 5 years of tory govt and a hard brexit will have on the economy and public services.

Carry on as usual - which means organising our local food bank, doing voluntary work, helping with local services which have all been cut back, offering work experience to people who need it etc etc - and trying not to care that I was called a 'do gooder' last week. - not in a complimentary way.

What sector are you n pirate

If you're a Labour voter and you voted Leave you will probably feel how I felt after the referendum. I couldn't vote Labour this time with JC as leader- have always done so.

and trying not to care that I was called a 'do gooder' last week.

I know, every tory supporter is just so horrible, not like labour who are all morally superior

I'm sure this can be waved away though

I fully expect to wake up feeling utterly despondent at the news that not only are we continuing under the Tory regime, but that it's a landslide. I'm also expecting that my excellent local Labour MP, who is principled and decent and works tirelessly for his constituency, will have been unseated by the latest parachuted-in ToryBoy. The referendum, the last GE, and Labour Party infighting have long extinguished any hope I once had.

And then I'll go to work, and attempt to help children learn about respecting the rights of children around the world as part of their wider curriculum. I'll help them to learn the skills they need to understand and analyse data, and to reason and think critically,and to use balanced arguments and persuasive language in the hope that they will develop the skills and desire to have a positive impact on the world.

Then I'll probably try to figure out what I can cut from the family budget to buy the classroom supplies that my school won't be able to afford, though I obviously can't afford to pay to replace a TA.

I can't even watch the news. I feel when/if the tories win, there will be so many smiling faces and I just cant bare it. I'm think of my teens future and how much worse it'll be under this gov. They and all of their friends voted labour. Ds is studying politics at uni and him and his peers are appalled at the austerity measures and the way the tories sell it as helping the country, when all they are doing is helping the already well off.

As well as the vulnerable and needy, it's the young folk I feel sorry for. But hopefully they will gather themselves and enter politics and make the changes this country desperately needs.

I shall carry on regardless. But be in an exceptionally bad mood for most of the day.

Certainly won't be surprised. After the last GE and Brexit nothing the British public do surprises me.

I do wonder why the right wing press are allowed to run the Governments media campaigns for them though.

....because they profit from it ohforfoxsake

Cut my losses and hunt foxes

Feel disappointed if we don't win.
Then feel hopeful that in 5 years we definitely will because da joof will experience the tuition fees error of their non voting ways and actually vote.

Radishal I'm a labour voter and staunch remainer... double whammy

I will be taking round some clothes to an elderly lady, then going to introduce a volunteer to an elderly gentleman that is housebound.

After lunch I am interviewing a potential volunteer then I'm picking up a disabled persons prescription for them.

Because as it stands none of them are able to access any help at all from the Local Authority, so they, and many others, are completely reliant on the third sector.

I imagine we will only get busier if/when the tories win a second term.

Not much to gloat about this time either way - I hope Corbyn loses, but I can't rejoice as the tories are merely slightly better imo and many people are sincerely scared of 5 more years of tories. On the whole we're getting more divided and not less.

Personally I'm hoping to get a moderate in the labour leadership and campaign for them next time, and look at upping charitable donations.

I might ask my partner to talk to his work about whether there is any possibility of him transferring to one of the sites abroad. The thought of being stuck in a country where human rights laws are being dismantled is frightening. Failing that, Scotland?

If we're stuck here - quite probable - then I'll be joining in protests against policies I disagree with and writing letters to MPs etc. We don't really have the disposable income or time at the moment to help food banks or charity, but I wish I could. :(
