User12345678912345 · 07/06/2017 22:45

I'm starting to panic conservatives will get in again. I don't think I can face it! I work for the prison service, NHS and have kids in school. I can't take any more hits to any if these services!!!! I've never voted labour before but I am so passionate about it now! Prisons r so unsafe right now! and the NHS cannot take any more hits. If things don't change soon I just don't think either of my jobs will be viable, and as for schools - they also cannot take much more of a hit.

Please join me and vote labour! (Sorry to all those that hate this sort of thread Sad not meaning to annoy anyone! just feel the onset of panic!)

Ask what you want.

Not going to happen whilst JC and McDonnell are leading.

I'm certainly not alone either.

Nope. Will never vote for Labour.

Never in a million years.

I had thought all these Tory bashing threads were because of panic.

Sycamorewindmills · 08/06/2017 08:49

No. I won't be voting for Momentum backed Corbyn. However, it will be interesting to watch what happens to the Labour Party after the election and see whether the party splits.

Farfromtheusual · 08/06/2017 15:01

YABU.

littlehandcuffs · 08/06/2017 15:21

Just voted Conservative.

clairethewitch70 · 08/06/2017 15:25

Not in a million years x 5 votes in this household

user1471439240 · 08/06/2017 15:42

Seriously? I'd rather shave my head with a rusty potato peeler and dip it in a vat of vinegar than vote Labour.
You may as well burn £50 notes in the street.

TigerShark · 08/06/2017 15:47

Nope.

I have before, but not this time.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 08/06/2017 16:06

Miliband with have been a better PM than Corbyn and Milli, bless him, was a total wet weekend.

MoominFlaps · 08/06/2017 16:09

And we care about the NHS and education but understand that the supply of unlimited money that Corbyn is promising doesn't actually exist.

But we'll continue with bankers' bonuses and tax breaks for big businesses then, jolly good, crack on etc.

Calyrical · 08/06/2017 16:24

I'm surprised anyone is really worried about the Tories getting in.

To be frank, unless the polls are ridiculously off, they will.

coconuttella · 08/06/2017 16:24

I fear the majority of Tory voters (and I don't necessarily mean those here) are basing their decision on the contents of the Daily fucking Fail.

I've just voted a Tory and I think the only appropriate use of the Daily Mail is toilet paper - actually no, far too rough for that. Characterising those who vote Tory as deranged swivel-eyed loons who hang on every DM headline may be a convenient parody for you to believe, but it's false.

waitforitfdear · 08/06/2017 16:31

Are labour voters basing their decision on the contents of the mirror? Or course not

and my decision to vote Tory wasn't based on the fail, never read it, it is based on not wanting momentum to govern the country

Sorry op you lot picked the wrong leader. Hopefully he will piss off soon and take his chancelllor with him and labour will come to its senses and become electable again.

Dapplegrey2 · 08/06/2017 16:36

Sorry op but I can't vote for a man who supports Chavez/Maduro.
It's heart breaking what's happening in Venezuela.

Trampire · 08/06/2017 16:46

Already voted Tory. I'm normally a floating voter - Labour and Lib-Dem in the past.

I agree with PP. Sorry just chose the wrong leader (who surrounds himself with deplorable Momentum) who in turn chose an appalling front bench.

Labour went wrong with David Milliband. I would have definitely voted for him and his ideas. Too late now.

Rarotonga · 08/06/2017 16:57

No. Hmm You can vote for who you like but nobody will be influencing my vote.

waitforitfdear · 08/06/2017 17:17

These threads are more likely to make people vote Tory you do know that right op?

onemorecupofcoffeefortheroad · 08/06/2017 17:21

Sorry op but I can't vote for a man who supports Chavez/Maduro It's heart breaking what's happening in Venezuela

In that case I hope you didn't vote for TM either as it's heart breaking what's happening in Saudi Arabia.

OP yes I will be voting Labour as will everyone in my house. I luffs Jezza - my son met him last night and said he was lovely. Wouldn't take the Maryland biscuit he (my son) offered him though as he's watching his waistline.
Sadly he won't get in as he has been given such a hard time by the press.
I've just calmly unpacked a rant some one made on FB about him (I couldn't help myself - it was a complete misrepresentation of the truth). This chap had extrapolated quotes from longer thoughtful nuanced interviews Corbyn had made and regurgitated parts entirely out of context. I found the original interviews and put everything back into context. It's all gone very quiet - no one has argued with me. I think as a result I've changed at least one young person's mind.

Leaderwithsoul · 08/06/2017 17:22

If people vote Tory purely because of these threads then they are stupid and fickle and shallow.

UserThenLotsOfNumbers · 08/06/2017 17:24

Uuurrrgggghhhhh
I support Labour and have voted Labour, but pleeeaaassee stop these begging posts it's pathetic.

Fwend · 08/06/2017 17:26

I just have - for the first time ever. 🌹
