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

[GreenEyeBlueEye]

Just like the title

Labour. I can't bear to see the Tories remain in power and have Boris lying bastard Johnson as our leader.

Boris needs to get through his interview with Andrew Neil and that will be very interesting

Labour. Excellent policies. It’s time for a change and we must avoid hard Brexit.

@Bintheredunthat, where did it go? Straight into the pockets of government contractors owned by them and their mates. The conservative economic model is all about using publicly generated funds to line their pockets. The (conflicting) interests that they openly declare demonstrates this clearly.

Flushed some of shy tories out. Come on, let’s have more if you,

@sunglasses123 so EXACTLY what the Tories did then?

Labour

To those who say they're scared or terrified of Corbyn getting in, are you more scared than the homeless people who are now on the streets, or more terrified than the people who are one step away from being on the streets?

In April last year my landlord decided he was selling up, so I was given one months notice to find somewhere else. Even though I earn a decent wage I'm a single parent, and landlords are really not interested, there's a queue of married couples who are much higher up the list than me and my kids, even though I've always paid my rent on time. My dd was due to take her GCSEs the following months and I was worried about us not having anywhere to live and her failing all her exams. I managed to get the landlord to wait until her exams were done, but it was still hanging over us, meanwhile the family of another girl in my dds class were given notice at their rented place too, this girl ended up studying for her GCSEs in a travellodge whilst sharing one room with her brother and her mum, and being made to move rooms every week (or fortnight, not sure) they stayed in that travel lodge for over a year before they got moved, and they still don't have a council place now, as there's people more needy than them apparently.

This country can't stand another 5 years of conservatives.

Alliance. It’s that or DUP in my area and I will do anything to keep the dupers out!

Tactically Labour.

I always voted Lib Dem, until they got into bed with the Tories, tuition fees etc.

I won’t ever vote for the Cons” because I disagree with everything they stand for.

I am a homeless voter, whose thinking Corbyn might only be for 4 years, but Brexit is for ever.

You should all read The Establishment by Owen Jones.

Tory/lib dem swing seat here. So I will be tactically voting Lib Dem.

However I am labour to my core.

Hate the tories. Hate the capitalist machine and feel we have all been duped by massive consumerism and the drive for more.

Education and the NHS is on its knees and I think you should be thoroughly ashamed to support the austerity cuts and the propaganda that the far right neo liberals have pushed and pushed.

If your doing ok, (like I am) then you should be giving back and accepting the higher rates of tax. However crucially, big business and those are the big Tory doners should be held to account and made to pay their share. Refusing a living wage, blocking trade unions, suppressing grass roots activism, it’s fucking criminal.

So yes. If you’re a bit well off then maybe you’re terrified of Labour as you might be a few 100 quid less well off. But I would much much much rather that than the state we are in now.

I do 2 shops a month. One for us and one for the good bank.

It’s a absolute disgrace the state this country is in.

Totally agree Atalune.

Labour, because I believe in a society that lifts each other and not an 'every person for themselves' mentality. I believe in a society where each person pays a small amount in order to better help those who are less fortunate. Labour, because I want to end homelessness, I want to keep the NHS, healthcare is a right not a privilege and ill health should not bankrupt a person.

Even funnier are the 'lifelong labour voters' who will suddenly be voting tory. Yep, you have always had one set of beliefs, but are suddenly going to throw them all out of the window. Menopause? You don't convince anyone. Tories HATE women, they always have.

So this kind of comment is ok ok Mumsnet, when it's directed at someone with differing political views? Nice

Lib Dem voter here. I don't necessarily believe we should revoke article 50 (although it would be nice!), but I've voted Lib Dem in the past few elections as in addition to feeling most aligned with them, it makes sense in this seat.

Labour, even though I am very disillusioned with them at present (their stance on women & all the anti Semitic stuff is grim). I’m voting on the NHS in particular but also general social policy and public services with the informed Brexit referendum a close second.

Flushed some of shy tories out. Come on, let’s have more if you,

No idea what the fuck you are suggesting, I'm a loud and proud Conservative voter and I've seen plenty of posts from others. Not surprising really since we are going to win the election.

Lib Dem. don't like either if the alternatives.

Conservatives as every other option will bankrupt us...

Who do some people think they are.., ‘flushing out Shy Tories’!!!

You are not in charge of hunting us down. This happened last election where the big mouth, virtue signalling Lefties tried to shout down anyone who disagreed with them. Labour have been taken over by a hard Left element and the UK people will make their decision accordingly on 12 December.

I'm voting Conservative. Not because I'll be better off but because the country as a whole will. Labour is all fantasy land politics. They can say what they like as they won't get in this time. When they did get in, in the 90's they made a right bloody mess of it.

Labour left no money last time. They even left a note confirming this. This time their mainifesto is just pie in the sky hence the reason they will get a good trumping in the GE. Having said that JC will get into bed with anyone. He won’t be able to do what he wants and we will have an endless round of referendums, elections, leave/remain etc during 2020.

@SilverySurfer you are proud of a political party headed up by;

• A man who is an adulterous and cannot even be honest about the number of children her had and also condemn at least one of them as they are being brought up outside of wedlock by a single mother
• a man who makes inflammatory dumb remarks about Muslim women, gay people and black people
• a man who allows people in the Cabinet who actually believe if you were smarter you wouldn't have perished in a fire and another who would not be averse to capital punishment.
• a man who breaks the Law.
• a man who bungs public monies to a pole dancer who he may or may not have been shagging

—a man who supresses intelligence that would indicate links to one of the largest communist dictatorships in the world.

• a man who has shat all over the Good a Friday agreement
• A man who has shown us he flip flops in Europe

— a man who shows us he peddles lies regarding the NHS

• a man who sticks two fingers up to Poverty, social housing crises, a tripled national debt and climate change
• a man who wilfully and gleefully burned £50 in front of homeless people as part of some archaic disconnect elitist fuckwit toffs club

Apart from the pole dancer and the fathering of undisclosed numbers of children the rest are not just the man himself but the vile Tory Party.

If being affiliated to this shower of shit makes you proud then I would hate to see what you think is a disgrace.

@sunglasses123

I think people talk about flushing out Tory voters because the level of cruelty, disconnect and contempt for ordinary people in their polices makes many of us think you just be unicorns or millionaires. we can’t believe you are real

You are not in charge of hunting us down. This happened last election where the big mouth, virtue signalling Lefties tried to shout down anyone who disagreed with them.

This is the problem with Labour at the moment and they don't seem to be fucking learning from their mistakes.

The only people I know on my social media who post pro tory stuff are blokes who have plenty of money, and literally don't give a fuck. However, I'm sure there are many more on there who will vote Tory on the day but dont want to say anything for fear of being publicly scolded and shamed.

It's pathetic and the left seriously need to get a grip on it.

Having said that, I absolutely will not be voting Conservative.

Peter, thank you.100% agree, they don’t learn. So I will decide myself who to vote for. Corbyn will be a massive disaster for this company, his virtue signalling every single cause to win votes is awful. Diane Abbott and Teresa May are I believe eligible for the WASPI women payout he has just thrown into the ring and of course that will be paid for by the millionaires and billionaires (but they will have left the country!) so who pays for it.

I just missed out being a WASPI women but even if I was eligible for this payment I wouldn’t want it. He hates what he sees as rich people, he wants to give free broadband to all starting with the person living in the middle of nowhere who might not even want it. I have some experience in this area. Do you know how long it will take to install, how many roads will need to be dug up, how many fields ploughed to get bb to someone who might not even want it.

My parents who are late 80’s don’t want or need it. Is it going to be forced on them at some vast cost? Another virtue signalling rubbish idea.
