General Election tomorrow question

[bridgetreilly]

So, I did the MN survey and was a bit stumped by the question about who I would vote for if there was an election tomorrow. Like, at the moment, it's hard to remember whether we've still got a government from one day to the next. I know who I normally vote for but right now? Who knows! I'm not sure the results from that question will be all that representative of Mumsnetters normal political preferences.

Tory always.

I’ve posted this on another thread Ringdonna, but are you not concerned about the Tories attacks of the Judiciary, such as the threat to abolish the independent Judiciary in favour of US style elected Judges, and the damage this would do to democracy? In my opinion I would rather have the monster raving looney party in than a party that threatens to undermine the separation of powers.

Anything but Labour. Most likely Conservatives or Lib Dems

Conservatives always.

Lib Dem for the first time ever. Always a labour voter before.

SNP

Lib Dem.

(Would be Lib Dem even if not for the bollocks that is Brexit.)

Lib Dem. I really can't understand anyone voting Tory even when the PM hasn't just been found to have illegally shut parliament!

It was Tory until they failed to show respect for the Supreme Court and the rule of law.

Now it’ll have to be Lib Dem.

Lib Dem. First time ever.

Can’t believe some women would actually be dumb enough to vote for bojo - not sure if they are aware he binned the domestic abuse bill

What is it that draws people to vote Tory? I know this can be said about any party but I just can’t see anything that would make me vote them (although I do usually agree with some of their manifesto)

Going back to the original question is not sure who I would vote for, I tend to read the manifestos and then decide from there. Usually vote LibDem but I’m not so sure on them now as they keep u turning on things (especially in the local issues)

Agree Smemorata, and that isn’t even the worst part, they are threatening to abolish the independent Judiciary so they can’t rule against them again. No Tory voters seem concerned about this though.

Lib Dems

Voted Tory last time because we’d just bought a house and my Dad commented that makes us middle class so we should vote Tory. Then all this shit happened. Now Lib Dems all the way.

Conservative party.

not sure if they are aware he binned the domestic abuse bill
Where did you read this? A quick google search shows that they are looking to update it?

"Voted Tory last time because we’d just bought a house and my Dad commented that makes us middle class so we should vote Tory."
Most of the Labour party are middle class. In fact, aren't most politicians middle class?

It was on grazia online. Years of hard work down the pan because of the proroguation. I felt very upset about it. Hope they can bring it back.

Never the Tories. They’ve messed up the long term prospects of too many generations.

I actually might vote labour because they’re the only ones who’ve a chance to turf out our Tory MP.

Wouldn’t vote Tory if my life depended on it. I usually vote Labour and probably will again even though I don’t like Corbyn, I do like my own MP and my previous 2 (all are Labour).

Lib Dem.
Is anyone aware of Rachel Johnson's comments re her brother on R4 this lunchtime?
I have never heard anyone so close to coming out and saying I love my brother but I think he's an utterly disruptive selfish ruthless bastard. World at One, from 17 minutes into the prog to 20 minutes approx. Give it a very careful listen or three.

"Can’t believe some women would actually be dumb enough to vote for bojo - not sure if they are aware he binned the domestic abuse bill"
Next week's programme was read out by JR-M today and it includes the 2nd reading of the domestic abuse bill. He specifically said in response to questions later that it is a particularly important bill to get passed.

Is anyone aware of Rachel Johnson's comments re her brother on R4 this lunchtime?

Yes, it’s pretty damning to have your own family effectively denounce you.

Green or lib dem. Probably green.

Green or possibly Labour.
