If we have a General Election?

[Gin96]

How many of you would vote Labour if we had a General Election, just wondering as there have been a few negative comments on here about Labour recently

Lib dem for me.

I’m in a solid Labour seat here and my MP does fuck all, she’s absolutely useless and it baffles me how she’s kept her seat for so long. Then again, you could stick a red rosette on a donkey in this area and it’d get elected.

I'm not a fan of Corbyn, but I'd rather have him that a Johnson NoDeal Brexit. He could make matters worse, I suppose, but part of me just wants to get these lying, self-serving bastards out by any means necessary. Tories will probably still win where we are, though. Could be that it'll be worth voting Lib Dem given that anti-semitism concerns may mean a Labour vote will be low here and the relatively large Jewish vote (of which I am part), may switch to Lib Dems.

I'm torn. My local MP is Labour and holding a Conservative/Labour swing seat.

On a personal level I like her. Her politics and commitments match my own and she's already taken a political stand that cost her favour because it went against what her constituents wanted.

Logically that means I should vote Labour. I'd be helping to secure a seat for an MP that currently cares about the community she represents and crucially removes a vote from BoJo the Bozo.

However I despise Corbyn and I can't in all conscious vote in a way that supports him unless his manifesto pledge was to revoke article 50. That currently trumps all my other misgivings about him and his quasi communist politics.

Well it looks like there will be a general election soon, I don’t know who to vote for, I can’t stand Boris but I don’t like Corbyn either. There isn’t anyone that’s a decent leader.

OP - it isn't personalities - we aren't USA - it should be policy based.

Vote labour, I would sooner shit in my hands and clap.
Will be voting Conservative.
Just redress that balance - considering the morally bankrupt truly nasty policies the Conservatives pursue and how they actively shit on poor and disabled people, I'll be voting Labour, thanks.

It'll be a repeat of previous elections.
Mumsnetters will all say they're not voting Tory.
The Tories will win.

Exactly - we vote for a local MP to ignore us and do what they like, not for some crappy figurehead in Wankminster.

Tory, because we have a really great, community involved, sitting Tory MP who has championed many local causes in The House on his constituents' behalf.

I'll vote anyone to stop Corbyn!!!!

Anyone but Labour and Tories

Me too, and I never thought I'd say that about Labour.

I would vote Labour, I am a member.

I was a Lib Dem voter until Clegg sold them out.

Repeat of previous elections? The Tories have won only one GE in the nearly two decades since MN came into being, with a tiny 12 seat majority.

I would vote Labour, I live in a Labour safe seat area & have a very hard working MP who works tirelessly for the area, both the community & individuals.

To stop Corbyn from doing what exactly?

Trashing the economy? Making us less secure? Bringing chaos to what was a secure developed democracy?

So why ARE people determined to 'stop Corbyn', reflecting what a shit show Johnson and the Tories are providing?

Definitely voting Labour. We actually have a really active Labour MP and our constituency was a Conservative target at the last election and probably would be again. They can fuck off.

"The NHS is safe in our hands"

"We can be trusted on the economy".

Tory bollocks.

Get tae fuck.

Eh,p? Since 2001 labour have one two and Tory three.

Same. Mine is not only useless, but is proven to be an anti-semitic rape apologist. Is only intersted in international affairs, a and doesn't pay their council tax.

Labour under Corbyn is a joke, Lib Dems sold out by going into coalition with the Conservatives and waving through Austerity. They, the Greens and large sections of Labour have no concept of child safeguarding, sex-based rights and the rights of those with additional needs.
BP & UKIP are a straight no.

I will use my vote, probably on a regional independent.

And we do realise that whatever form of brexit is arrived at under the tories, we say good-bye to the NHS??

There is an utter complacency about this in the UK. Brexit under tories means an acceleration to the stage of being charged to see your GP, excessive charges for prescriptions, £1,000s for operations.
Why is medical intervention the biggest cause of bankruptcy in the US of A?? Welcome this to the U.K.

I'll vote tactically in whichever direction is most likely to get the Tories out. if that's Labour, then that's Labour. I feel pretty politically homeless at the moment but as someone who lives in one of the most deprived areas of the country with experience of having to support loved ones through the dehumanising hoop-jumping of our current benefits system, the one absolute certainty is that I will never, ever vote blue.

The conservatives will win a general election. The remain vote is too split across parties to secure a victory for any of them. The majority of leavers will vote for Tory. This is boris’s plan. This is why he wants to prorogue parliament. He will get his majority. It’s sad fucking times.

I would never vote for any party other than the Conservatives.

Quite. A tory brexit means a turbo-charged austerity that will make the last 9 years seem a breeze. Tories are total bastards and they will do it.
