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

[GreenEyeBlueEye]

Just like the title

Conservative. No other sane options I’m afraid.

Tactical LibDem. It's a two horse race here between them and the Conservatives. Anything to oust this bunch of self-serving twats.

Labour

CAMHS are overstretched but they're failing our children now.

CAMHS are not failing your children, it's the government's underfunding that is failing your children. Never lose sight of who is truly to blame.

I'm voting Labour.

Because it doesn't really matter who the leader is their "principles" are more in keeping with mine (for the many)

I want the Tori's out.

I'm voting strategically to ensure we return a Labour MP

In a Scottish election I'll vote SNP. This is very, very new to me. Have never voted for them before for my MSP.

Labour. I have a good Labour MP who is a remainer. I would never ever vote Conservative, but in the current climate I find it hard to grasp why anyone would. Boris Johnson is a self serving serial liar, who will flog the NHS at the first opportunity. Plus the inanity of Get Brexit done, like it's something which can be accomplished overnight. Er... No

SNP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Where are the figures re: deaths caused by Tory cuts coming from? I'm struggling to understand how you can reliably attribute deaths to austerity or come up with a figure like that. See various figures mentioned on MN but don't think sensationalism helps the cause whatsoever.

Green.

I like Labour's Environment and Animal Welfare policies but definitely not the economic ones.

The Conservatives are pro fox hunting and badger cull as a starting point so they're a no too.

So Green it is.

Labour. 100%.

SNP

Three main reasons:

I want Scottish independence
I'm a Remainer.
I really, really, really rate my MP. You may be aware of her - she was on Question Time last week. A breast cancer surgeon, she knows what the NHS is facing.

Lib Dem but sadly I know it's a wasted vote in my area which is staunch Tory stronghold.

Would usually tactically vote Labour to get Tory out (especially now as I feel they've had more than enough chances in past few years to get Brexit sorted etc. (I'm a remainer at heart!)) but I can't physically bring myself to vote for a government with Corbyn's crackpot manifesto. The numbers just don't add up.

@Surfskatefamily you might want to fact check your own post before actually voting. You seem deeply confused.

@smoresmores

You can’t directly link them to austerity. Correlation/causation and all that.

Lib Dem. - first time ever I've not voted conservative

@smoresmores

@curlykaren which part of it do you think is incorrect? Let me know and I'm happy to pm you with sources

...in the morning lol. Too late right now for that but I'll get back to you. Just tag me si I get notification

SNP. I am a Remainer, I support Scotland's independence, and I don't want the current local Tory MP to be re-elected.

@Surfskatefamily the Lib Dem Tory coalition government brought in bedroom tax not labour www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/society/2016/jan/27/the-bedroom-tax-explained

If you’re against tuition fees the coalition government were the ones who our these up to £9250.

Zero hours contracts have existed for decades but the conservatives try to make them out as if they’re a good thing.

Lib Dem. An easy decision, as the thought of Brexit is abhorrent... My husband has voted Lib Dem too for the same reason.

Labour.

I’m in a Tory safe seat though so hoping 24k people have the same idea as me!

I live in a Tory stronghold. I'm not sure that it'll make that much difference who I vote for (although I will vote).

Labour, because I haven’t heard any compelling reasons not to - or at least as to why a Tory vote would be better.

It scares me how much Johnson can get away with and people will still vote for them. Anyone saying Corbyn/Labour are “terrifying” are looking in the wrong direction.

Over the past few days, over 500,000 people have registered to vote and tonight there has been another big rise (thanks Stormzy!) It gives me hope.

I’m spoiling my ballot due to being left wing and pro women’s rights
