Just that really. I want to make an informed decision but really don't know who should get my vote. Am thinking Lib Dems - good balance of wanting a People's Vote and prioritising climate change. Help!

Lib Dem or Green but probably Lib Dem as they've more chance where I live and I need to vote tactically

whatswithtodaytoday · 23/05/2019 05:56

Green. I was going to vote Lib Dem but the Remain Voter site convinced me otherwise. Greens actually did better than Lib Dem in this region last time.

I'm a Labour party member, but won't be voting for them until Corbyn is gone (only keeping my membership so I can vote for a sensible new leader when the time comes).

blibblibs · 23/05/2019 06:01

Remain voter site is telling me to vote Green so that's what I'll do.
Would've mostly likely voted Lib Dem but I'm happy to go with Green.

zen1 · 23/05/2019 06:04

Change UK, due to the Greens and Lib Dem’s attitude to women.

Jazzybeats · 23/05/2019 06:05

Green.

I can’t vote Lib Dem on the basis that they enabled austerity and are part of the underlying cause of Brexit.

bellinisurge · 23/05/2019 06:35

Lib Dem. On the basis that I will have to hold my nose but it is the least painful (by no means painless).

Oakenbeach · 23/05/2019 06:38

In terms of ad hoc referendum, surely it doesn't matter about splitting the votes, since there will be figures available of (all votes cast for remain parties) v (all votes cast for leave parties)?

Disagree entirely! It matters ENORMOUSLY!....

A split Remainer vote means a split Remainer voice after the election. Imagine how much stronger the Remainer position would be if the 50+% who would vote remain in any future referendum coalesced around one party, even if it’s just for the purpose of stopping Brexit!

For the majority who won’t be poring over the voting figures, the clear lead of the Brexit Party appear to be indicating that the most popular position is a no-deal Brexit.

Remainer voters need to get savvy or they’ll get shafted and that means not touching remainervoter.com with a barge poll and it’s crazy advice to vote Change UK in some areas.

Do Remainers really want Farage to divide us into squabbling factions and rule?!

All remainervoter is doing is serving to split the Remainer vote.... Farage will be loving it!

The number of EU seats isn’t the overriding factor, a united Remainer voice afterwards is far more important!

Reddedder · 23/05/2019 06:53

I’m voting the Brexit party as a protest vote. I’m a remainer but the vote must stand

Sculpin · 23/05/2019 06:56

Lib Dems

Llareggub · 23/05/2019 07:01

I can't vote Lib Dem. I just can't. It will be Change UK for me I think.

giddyyup · 23/05/2019 07:05

Lib dem.

Labour can fuck off they're useless under Corbyn.

Green would've been my choice once upon a time but I've gone off them for reasons that are a whole new thread.

Change UK I don't know enough about and wish would fuck off too for this election as they're muddying the waters for my Lib Dem tactical!

Why would any remain voter choose to lick Farage's arse? You need to go away and have a good look at the 'Led by Donkeys' campaign to see what you're voting for. Their candidates are anti-gay, anti-NHS, think 'people are generally stupid and wrong' and that breastfeeding women should cover themselves up in a corner.
Oh yeah, and they have no manifesto. Hmm

Lib dem

"I’m voting the Brexit party as a protest vote. I’m a remainer but the vote must stand"

Why must the vote stand ? It was based on lies and misinformation

Reddedder · 23/05/2019 07:13

I’m still voting for them. Wouldn’t vote for them in a general election. If the country doesn’t leave, it’s the end of democracy. I can’t ignore that

SushiGo · 23/05/2019 07:14

Like fuck is anyone who is really a remainer voting for the brexit party.

If you want the vote to stand you could vote for tories or Labour. They've got issues but they aren't half as dodgy as Farage and his friends.

BroomstickOfLove · 23/05/2019 07:15

Green. It's suggested as the remain tactical view in my area, but I would have voted for them anyway, because I like their policies and they've run the best campaign locally.

bellinisurge · 23/05/2019 07:20

"I’m voting the Brexit party as a protest vote. I’m a remainer but the vote must stand"
Comedy bullshit

LagunaBubbles · 23/05/2019 07:32

I'm in Scotland. SNP, it's a no brainer.

NotTerfNorCis · 23/05/2019 07:33

Green, although I wouldn't vote for them in any other election because their gender politics are pretty sordid.

Sculpin · 23/05/2019 07:35

politics.co.uk is much better than the other tactical voting sites as it explains the options clearly.

Cobblersandhogwash · 23/05/2019 07:45

Lib Dem.

Why would a Remainer vote for Labour?

CloserIAm2Fine · 23/05/2019 07:48

Plaid Cymru or Lib Dem, I’ll probably decide when I’m in there!

ChampooPapi · 23/05/2019 07:49

Lib Dems
