Labour. Our Labour MP is excellent.

Aguinnessplease · 25/11/2019 20:43

Conservative this time. Labour’s tax and borrowing plans would take us back to the dark days of the 70s.

HirplesWithHaggis · 25/11/2019 20:44

SNP.

Justasconfusedwithnumber2 · 25/11/2019 20:44

Tories this time

GreenEyeBlueEye · 25/11/2019 20:45

I think it’s important we all remember no matter which way we vote, the state of our country now it’s going to take a while to fix. So providing everyone votes for who they believe in or trust more than another, hopefully we will eventually get back on track

Labour,
I like our mp and want him back in, i also have a disabled child so would never ever ever vote conservative

Tory - my husbands employer is moving the whole company out of the UK if labour win (It’s a Jewish family owned company in finance).

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 25/11/2019 20:48

Conservative. Not 100% happy with it, but couldn’t vote for any of the others. It’s the closest.

Labour. My life was saved by the NHS and if the Tories had it their way I'd either have:
a) Died swithering over whether I could afford a health insurance claim, or:
b) Risked bankruptcy and losing my home due to the cost of treatment, if I didn't have insurance or it didn't pay out.

As an advice worker, I am now dealing with people every day who are struggling to afford to feed themselves - this wasn't the case 10 years ago.

Anyone voting Tory wouldn't know decency if it kicked them up the arse.

WhatHaveIFound · 25/11/2019 20:50

I'll be voting labour to get our Tory MP out and because i feel it's our best chance of getting a People's Vote (and hopefully ending Brexit).

Whilst i'm a Lib Dem at heart I feel that would be a wasted vote in my area as they never get a large number of votes.

I realise i'd have to pay more tax under Labour but I feel they would be better for the NHS than another Conservative government. My dad who has a life limiting illness hasn't seen his consultant for nearly 14 months (supposed to see the consultant or specialist nurse every six months).

tabulahrasa · 25/11/2019 20:52

I haven’t decided yet... either SNP or labour.

user1471453601 · 25/11/2019 20:52

Labour, because I value the NHS

HairyFloppins · 25/11/2019 20:52

Conservative.

BMW6 · 25/11/2019 20:53

Conservative as least worst and IMHO most realistic manifesto

AmIScary · 25/11/2019 20:53

Conservative. It's the only feasible option to get rid of the twat of a sitting SNP Mp

SimonJT · 25/11/2019 20:53

Labour, while I don’t agree with all of my MPs voting record she has done some good and is generally a reliable and pro-active MP.

Makinganewthinghappen · 25/11/2019 20:54

What - my dh was diagnosed with a long term illness a year and a half ago and told he would need regular monitoring and physio etc. We are still “on the list” 1.5 years later.

My dd has been discharged from CAMHS (she was referred for suspected autism by our gp) because they now only see children that are suicidal or self harming apparently. So meanwhile she is being taught how to
talk to shopkeepers and I’m having to NBC sit with my 15 year old to use the toilet because she for whatever reason can’t cope.
NHS help to us over the last few years has been approx 0. Thanks Tory cuts!

gingajewel · 25/11/2019 20:56

Labour, always labour.

AgeLikeWine · 25/11/2019 20:59

Lib Dems, because I am a centrist, liberal Remainer.

I could never vote Tory, and despite being a former Labour activist, I will not vote for them again while Corbyn is leader.

KenDodd · 25/11/2019 21:00

Labour, even though I can't stand Corbyn.

I don't think the NHS could survive another Tory government, also I can't stand their hatred of the poor and disabled and I believe their Brexit plans will reignite the troubles in NI (not that they give a shit).

I think the best we can hope for is a hung parliament that might decapitate the extremists leadership of both main parties.

MincedOath · 25/11/2019 21:02

I change my mind every day. It's always been an easy X for Labour in the past.

colouringinpro · 25/11/2019 21:03

Devastated to see so many Tory votes Sad. Putting to one side the lies and Russian involvemt...

Tory austerity has directly led to 120k additional deaths.

They've tripled our national debt.

Last week when Boris visited a hospital in a Northern leave area Not One Single Doctor would meet him due to the damage he's done the NHS.

My son has a serious medical condition. The last two times I've had to take him to A&E we've had to wait 5 and 8 hours respectively.

We're tens of thousands of doctors and nurses short and over a million use food banks.

Shame on you.

skyblu · 25/11/2019 21:03

Tories.
Because lying, cheating, self-absorbed Corbyn curdles my blood.

WhatHaveIFound · 25/11/2019 21:05

Making - It's shocking isn't it. We tried to get dad referred to my health authority for specialist treatment but the request was refused and his HA have run out of options. Those 20 miles make such a difference.

I know CAMHS are overstretched but they're failing our children now. Hugs to you and your DD.
