And if so, how will you vote?
I want to vote tactically against the Brexit Party so I am thinking LibDems. But knowing mn and it’s very politically engaged (not to mention intelligent) posters, I thought I would put this out there Wink

LibDem

slippermaiden · 20/05/2019 13:49

Lib Dem on the postal vote for me! Have always voted labour but I don't like Cronyn and I want to stay in Europe!

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 20/05/2019 13:51

Lib Dems.

Through gritted teeth seeing as how their stance on single sex space and women's rights are unappealing to me. aNd, I've told my Lib Dem MP as much.

UnicornBrexit · 20/05/2019 13:51

LibDem. I find my personal politics have reached centre ground these days

Anyone who has a slogan of 'Bollocks to Brexit' has my vote

juneau · 20/05/2019 13:53

Yes. Lib Dem.

LemonBreeland · 20/05/2019 13:53

Thanks for the tactical voting website info on here. It has really helped me decide how to vote.

ritzbiscuits · 20/05/2019 13:55

Yes 2 x Labour voters who will vote Lib Dem.

Not happy with Labour's stance on Brexit at all.

CloserIAm2Fine · 20/05/2019 13:56

Probably Plaid Cymru as I’m in Wales

I’m mainly voting in the vain hope that the Tories wont be able to twist not voting into “people want us to get on with Brexit”

kalinkafoxtrot45 · 20/05/2019 13:57

My postal vote has already been sent, and it’s for the best option Remain party in the constituency.

Discombobulated47 · 20/05/2019 13:57

Yes, Lib Dem

Collaborate · 20/05/2019 13:58

I've looked at the remainvoter website and will be voting Green in my area. It was a toss up between Green and Lib Dem anyway. Can't see me ever voting Tory, and Labour are a far away prospect with current leadership and hard-line control.

78percentLindt · 20/05/2019 13:58

I want to vote Change UK but remain voter suggests green for my region.

LakieLady · 20/05/2019 14:01

LD (SE Region).

I looked up the results for last time, and it would take fewer extra votes for the LDs to gain another seat than it would take the Greens.

pumpastrotter · 20/05/2019 14:02

Green here. Long time Labour voter but I've totally lost faith in them.

juneau · 20/05/2019 14:06

Just to mention that the two websites listed (Remain Voter and Remain United), give different advice on tactical voting! Gina Miller's Remain United recommend that Remainers in England vote Lib Dem wherever they are. Remain Voter is giving different advice depending on where you live.

speakout · 20/05/2019 14:07

Yes I will be voting SNP.

We have lifeboats.

Anniegetyourgun · 20/05/2019 14:09

Like one or two others, I'm a tad suspicious of that remainvoter website. Why should we believe it any more than... well, any other information source? It recommends Change UK for my region on the grounds that Lib Dems and Greens are pretty much guaranteed some seats. But is it true?

I've more or less decided to change the habits of a lifetime and vote Lib Dem. Safer, I think, and at least they are a party (of sorts), unlike Change UK which isn't a party and doesn't have time to become one. Keeping Farage out is a worthy objective, but then what?

joystir59 · 20/05/2019 14:15

Voting LibDem is voting Tory. If you want the Tories out vote Labour.

MTBMummy · 20/05/2019 14:15

78percentLindt, tactical vote suggests I vote for Change UK for my region, but I would rather vote green.

Inertia · 20/05/2019 14:16

Yes, remainer and lifelong Labour voter, refusing to vote Labour because of Corbyn's insistence that a vote for Labour is a vote for Brexit. If Labour do really badly he might recognise the level of protest vote against him and his policies, but I've a feeling that he'll spin it as everyone protesting because we're not leaving fast enough, and he'll never step down.

I'll be voting LibDem this time.

I've got to the point with the coalition where I'm wondering whether those commentators who said at the time that the LibDems had reined in some of the worst Tory tendencies may have been right- look at the utter shitshow that's played out since 2015.

None of the parties are sufficiently supportive of women's safety and the right to enforcement of the protected characteristic of sex, but the appalling stance of the Greens on the safety of women and children has led me to favour the Libdems over the Greens - that said, registering a vote against Brexit and in favour of remaining is my main issue.

And it is effectively a protest vote only on this issue, because Brexit decisions are made by Parliament ,and Parliament is sovereign. (I suspect that there are voters who don't understand that, even if Farage and convicted fraudster Yaxley-Lennon do get elected, they won't have the power to overturn Parliamentary decisions and processes- it might be an education in terms of how political power works!)

GabrielleNelson · 20/05/2019 14:16

I'm voting LibDem. It sticks in my craw given their stance on basic biology, i.e. no longer accepting that a woman is an adult human female, but as every single other party appears to be of the same mind, officially anyway, I'm voting for the one making the strongest effort to contest Brexit. I'm in London. Normally Labour would do well here. I hope they get a pasting on Thursday. I'm so disappointed in Labour I could weep. I used to be a Labour voter but I can't do it now.

ErrolTheDragon · 20/05/2019 14:19

I was going to vote Lib Dem, but that website recommends green.

AutumnCrow · 20/05/2019 14:19

We can vote Lib Dem and canvas Vince Cable at the same time about basic biology before he steps down.

BumbleBeeWineGlass · 20/05/2019 14:21

I haven't received a card Sad

irregularegular · 20/05/2019 14:22

Yes. Libdem. I've mostly voted Labour in the past but sometimes Libdem. Labour are not a Remain party. I would have considered ChangeUK but I don't think they are sending as clear a Remain message as Libdem and I think Libdem have more momentum at the moment. Also more than Green, at least locally.
