To think anyone thinking of voting Lib Dems

[Mistlewoeandwhine]

... needs to know this. They’ve admitted they won’t be scrapping Article 50. Better to vote Labour to get the evil Tories out.

No, where have they said this? I'm fully distracted by incident at London Bridge because we live in area. What have I missed??

Haha not Labour! You are joking, right?

Sorry. Crap link.

Apparently they've reverted back to having a second referedum instead.

Of course, it's all academic, because there was no way the LDs would ever win a majority, so a vote for them was always, in effect, a vote for a second referedum.

If you don't want Brexit, you should still tactically vote for Labour, LDs or whichever other party are most competitive against the Torries in your constituency.

YABU

I'd rather have the Tories in than Labour, and that's saying a lot.

But that is what they have always said. They will only stop Brexit if they are a majority government. It's not a change in policy.

I might vote lib dem as they're the only ones with a chance against Tories in this constituency

Definitely voting Lib Dem here

I'm voting lib dem. Used to vote Labour. Am in a safe labour seat but want to increase vote share for a party which is pro remain and much more central than current incarnation of labour and Tory.

Fine to vote Lib Dems as a way to block the Tories. It’s pointless otherwise.

I'll vote for who I like. Who are you to tell someone their vote might be pointless?

It's pointless to vote labour where I am, but people still will. If enough people do the conservatives will win the seat. Will you tell them their vote is pointless too, or is that okay because it's for St Jezza?

Tactical Voting and FPTP is the reason we're in this mess in the first place. If the ballot said "Labour , Convervative, They're all shit" guess which one would get the most votes?

Let people vote for the other parties, change the system to a representative one, and force more collaboration between parties to work together with different idealogies with one common goal rather than opposite extremes in an echo chamber where everyone feels forced to vote for the better of two evils.

I think It's pointless and wrong headed to vote for a party that (a) will get in anyway and (b) which you don't believe in under current leadership. Plus as a "Centrist Mum" and apparently a red Tory as I voted for Labour under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown when it did make a difference and having been told by it's Corbynistas to fuck off and vote Tory I think my reasons for voting lib dem are sound.

What “sound” reasons can you have to vote for a pro-fracking, pro-austerity, pro-nuclear war party with no real agenda except to scrape up a few seats on the basis of stopping Brexit. Which they can’t even achieve.

Their budget is the only one that has been approved by the Odd of the 3 main parties. They'll scrape the bedroom tax. They are not pro fracking or pro austerity - that's just fabricated nonsense.

IFS

I’ll be voting labour

In the last GE, the Lib Dem candidate got 2.4 % of the vote, 80 votes more than the Brexit candidate.

Even if a vote is 'wasted' I still think that the best option is to vote for who you want.

It is a safe seat, the winner got 62.9% of the vote

I'm voting labour! (and I'm a brexit supporter!)

I don’t see the point any more of criticising who other people vote for. They’ve all proven themselves to be either dishonest or incompetent or both. Pretty much every decent MP has stood down. I can make reasonable arguments for and against all three of the main English parties. More against, for all three. So the fact that I’ll decide one is slightly less unpalatable than the other two isn’t really saying much. I definitely don’t think it’s worth getting angry with someone who has chosen the rock rather than the hard place.

pro-nuclear war party

Oh FFS. This kind of hyperbole is why people don't take activists seriously. Nobody is saying having a nuclear war would be brilliant. Why on earth would you come out with that on here? Are you stupid or do you think us women are stupid?

Actually the IFS said that hard Brexit will increase taxes beyond that currently proposed by the Labour government, plus all the other crazy shit that goes along with it.

It's all the fault of biscuit gate 9 years ago. Mumsnet now counts as 'influential' so we've got to put up with another 13 days of these irritating Momentum bots asking their oh so faux naive questions like 'why are you a baby eating warmonger'.
