..... if Boris ever manages to announce when it is.

Will you stick to your usual Party or vote tactically to ensure the Brexit you believe is best for the country?

Difficult this time. Tory, never. I can't believe people would vote Lib Dem so easily when they got into bed with the Tories so readily, so that's out. Labour or Plaid: will have to be Labour I think, but they've done such a poor job of holding this government to account it's a bit galling. Best of the worst I think for me.

TheMessyCleaner · 05/09/2019 00:27

Green. And where I live they're likely to get in.

serenoa · 05/09/2019 00:39

I'll vote my party. I believe its policies beyond Brexit are the best for this country. If you look at European countries you'd find most of those policies taken for granted in most of those countries.

Labour

Tactically so Labour for my area.

crustycrab · 05/09/2019 01:36

Nice click baity title there op Hmm

Blueoasis · 05/09/2019 05:56

Tactically. Plus my current mp is a moron, but I'm sure he will still win.

TidyDancer · 05/09/2019 06:01

My vote will be tactical. I live in a classic Tory stronghold unfortunately but in both of the May elections the tide did seem to be turning so I have a small amount of hope that might carry over. Would love to get rid of the current MP. He is a spineless waste of space.

Poolbridge · 05/09/2019 06:07

I’m in a ‘safeish’ labour seat but I’ll be voting Libdem

EleanorReally · 05/09/2019 06:21

another one surrounded by blue, but may go for yellow

EleanorReally · 05/09/2019 06:23

Or indeed maybe Green

Monkeyseesmonkeydoes · 05/09/2019 06:24

Green, and she will get in again due to general awesomeness.

greentheme23 · 05/09/2019 06:25

I will vote tactically to ensure we don't send the country into a Brexit abyss but never for Tories.

greentheme23 · 05/09/2019 06:27

Also Tory voters are probably embarrassed after the last few days so unlikely to own up on this thread that they are planning to vote Tory. If they are not embarrassed well - they should be!

Laura221 · 05/09/2019 06:29

Strong blue here too. Labour not clear enough. Lib dems although anti Brexit do not have a strong party. So for me it will be greens again, which is frustrating as I feel like it's a little bit of a waste of my vote but it's the party I most agree with so I guess that is the best way to vote over all.

Augend · 05/09/2019 06:29

I live in Anna Soubry's constituency but have always voted Labour until now. I'm really not sure.

amymel2016 · 05/09/2019 06:32

Lib dem

backinaminute · 05/09/2019 06:32

This is something I'm really struggling with currently. My area voted significantly in favour of leave. We are in a Tory stronghold however, there is a very real chance the Brexit party could win the seat if a GE is called. It wouldn't be the first time Farage has targeted the area. I have voted across the other parties in recent years, Labour, Green and spoiled my ballot.

I'm in the position where not voting Conservative is essentially paving the way for the Brexit party as maintaining a Tory stronghold is the only way to keep them at Bay. The whole thing makes me feel a bit sick. I cannot believe I've been forced into the position where I'm actually thinking I might have to vote for Boris in a GE - essentially 'green lighting' everything I completely disagree with that the Tories have done.

I have no idea what I will do - I will feel responsible if the Brexit party get in and I spoilt my ballot.

It's a disgrace.

Conservative

AgentProvocateur · 05/09/2019 06:53

SNP

Dogsarebetterthancatsok · 05/09/2019 07:17

Conservative and everyone who works in the warehouse with me would vote them now and I’m in the north east. They are disgusted with Labour

SnuggyBuggy · 05/09/2019 07:19

Either tactically or by spoiling my ballot depending on how fucked off I feel by then

YahBasic · 05/09/2019 07:23

Conservative.
