General Election....who are you voting for and why?

[GreenEyeBlueEye]

Just like the title

Labour supporters in a nutshell:

The last financial crash was a global financial crash that caused austerity across the globe.

Labour supporters now we are doing generally still among the top of GDP countries, got our deficit spend back to something manageable

The Tories have spent the last decade systematically destroying the economy and public services

Ignores all issues of a globalised economy, the previous discussion of the previous 3 years and still wants to vote labour.

Critical thinking and discussion is lost on all sides

GDP growth per capita (the best indicator of a strong economy) is down from 1.7% under the previous labour government to 0.7% under the tories, the lowest in the EU. It's not because of a global economic downturn it's because prolonged austerity is damaging growth.

Labour

Our local MP's son went to my local school and I taught him ,they lived in the community. The tory Mp doesn't live here and is a bumbling fool and then theres Boris.

SNP - but I would vote for the most remain party I could.

Those that say they just want brexit done, it won’t be done decades as painfully negotiate individual trade deals. Just FYI.

I also don't want to vote Labour. If we had PR instead of FPTP or if the brexit party didn't stand a good chance in my constituency I would vote Lib Dem in this election but we don't and they do. The lib dems have no chance in my constituency. It's a battle between the tories, labour and the brexit party. To keep the brexit party out of power I will vote for the least worst from the three possible outcomes.

NHS worker, therefore labour

Labour, it’s got to be. They seem to be the only party who care about normal people, the tories only concern is to help the rich few. However I’m concerned, too many ordinary working people seem to be voting Tory, I don’t understand it.

Labour.

Tories will win now. Good that they they may have to justify their stance

Better let the Tories sort it out now.

Better let the Tories sort it out now.

As they’ve been doing such a cracking job of it so far.

Labour because I want another referendum. That's it. Labour will never be able to implement their more outrageous policies so none of that matters.

Labour.
I find it interesting that this election isn't just about brexit, as many commentators predicted. So many people are citing the NHS and austerity as a motivator for their voting decision. I echo many pps who have said that anyone voting Conservative has questionable morals. Dominic Cummings himself admitted that they don't care about ordinary people's lives for goodness sake! I despair. It's tragic.

We had to lose 10 members of staff last year. We’re in a pretty socially deprived area.

I've posted this before but I live in a socially deprived area of France. My son's primary school class has been capped at twelve to improve results, and it's working. It's sheer political priorities. Fuck the Tories.

Conservatives. Corbyn et al will bankrupt the UK

Come on all you shy tories. This is anonymous, you don’t need to be ashamed here.

@sunglasses123 what you mean triple the National Debt while cutting everything to the bone?
That’s either genuis or madness.
No wait it’s the Tories

Conservative. Labour will destroy the country as they have done it before …..

NO MONEY LEFT ring any bells.

Tory voters - do any of you actively like Johnson or is it more about avoiding Corbyn?

I think Johnson used to have a lot of public goodwill but now he seems too flippant and bumbling for serious times.

I'm voting labour because I like my pro-remain MP, but hoping for a hung parliament and second referendum. Would like to see a more moderate labour leader take over.

Honestly Labour are completely bonkers with their spending. It won’t be the billionaires. It won’t be the millionaires. They will go or find ways to reduce their liabilities.

Fgs - Corbyn didn’t even know what % they pay of overall tax revenue. It will drop further and further down and is it right that Diane Abbott will get a WASPI payout?

I live in a marginal seat. We have a very right wing Tory MP. I will be voting LD to try and oust the incumbent.
On paper we’re Tory voters. Professional jobs, high joint income, solid savings, kids in private school. But the lurch to the Right scares me. Plus the NHS is on its knees. Yes, Corbyn may be dragging us back to the public ownership of the 70s but the current Tory party wants to drag us back to the dark days of the 1930s. Ironically, they’d love us to believe that they’re actually taking us back to the 50s when summers were long and we all lived like The Larkins. Except they forget that the reality of those days was more Cathy come Home than Darling Buds of May. Corbyn will not win a majority so most of his mad ideas will stay in his head.

Lib dem. A tactical vote in a very safe conservative seat, labour don't stand a chance here.

Horse. I would like to see a credible opposition too and Labour are just blowing it for themselves. I saw the Neil interview and honestly is this someone who want on the world stage?

What about a cross party group who look into potential racism within all parties?

Why are the same old, long disproved lies still being
trotted out as facts??
The ‘no money left note is an ‘In-joke’ left my each departing chancellor since the 1970s.
Labour did not cause the global recession, a small amount of googling will quickly expose that lie.
Osborne himself said the 80 billion pound debt was nothing to do with the last Labour administration it was down to the global crash caused by the banks so why after so many cuts and so much austerity why has that debt doubled under the Tories devastating Austerity measures?
Labour have actually only borrowed £500 billion in their full 33 years of governing.
Whereas the tories borrowed £680 billion in just the last 8 years. Where did all that money go??
They have doubled the national debt since 2010, leaving 4 million children in poverty and over 1 million people using food banks.
All while the richest 1000 families have DOUBLED their wealth. They have cut all our services, all while borrowing more and funnelling the money upwards to their rich friends. I know the billionaire newspaper owners say labour borrow and wreck the economy, but they have reason to lie (the tories don’t make them pay tax if they print nice things about them and lies about labour )

Boris Johnson's own brother left his cabinet job rather than be associated with what his brother is planning for this country. How people are not astonished and afraid by this fact is baffling to me.

Labour won’t get anything like a majority but he will do a deal with just anyone - LD, SDP to get into power and then won’t be able to do very much and we will be in a horrible mess....
