Mumsnet poll - how did you vote?

[Ofthread]

YABU for Tory
YANBU for Labour

Sorry, no options for others!

You won't get a representative view on here, it's full of left wingers. I voted Conservative and am thrilled with the exit poll, of course.

The wailing and whining and name calling and gnashing of teeth by labour supporters on here is going to be overwhelming over the next couple of days. I have zero interest in that so shall be taking a couple of days absence from MN.

I voted Lib Dem and I chose Labour for my Son as our MP helped him.

@ CalishataFolkart bollocks. JC did this by not standing aside for someone who would not be so damn divisive and could actually bring labour to victory. Now we will have Boris and we are fucked

Clearly those in a 'safe' labour seat who support labour would not decide not to vote on the basis that they couldn't make a difference! It's in seats like mine where tories have had a huge majority for years that people feel hopeless and irrelevant (and of course I still voted).

However worthy JC may be he could not win and for the good of the country should have let someone else step in.

BritWifeinUSA Absolutely and private companies were introduced into the NHS in 2006. Who was in government then? Oh yes, war criminal Blair.

Labour, somewhat reluctantly, sad but totally unsurprised by the exit poll.

Luckily for me, I've already emigrated.

Labour.

This. The current mess was completely avoidable.

I am now going to put my efforts into anti-poverty campaigning and lobbying for the duration. Hopefully the Conservatives will be persuaded to dial back on the welfare massacre, to leave the NHS alone and concentrate on other things (because they will want to hold on to their new WC voters and thus power for a second term).

Cons all the way

Brexit Party

The Brexit party.

Never in doubt which way I would cast my vote. I'm from a thoroughly working class family and long line of Labour voting Tory 'haters', although I would have voted Conservative rather than Labour this time if Brexit had not been an option.

Up until last year I was a paid up member of Labour. I am furious that they let us down on the biggest democratic decision of our lifetime - and I'm not alone.

Pretty chuffed with the results so far.

Awaits insults

Tory; don't trust any of the others with defence and security.

@Jenpop234 It's not disproportionate, older people tend to be more right-wing. Perhaps join gransnet? Joke!

I voted Labour - how anyone could vote Conservative and for Boris (who isn’t Boris at all) Johnson beggars belief for me. He. may well have been Oxford educated but his redeeming features are few and far between. It makes me sad that voters have seemingly found it acceptable to vote for someone who tells lies, makes racist comments, has a personal life that has been colourful to say the least and feels it acceptable to send his father - who incidentally recently dismissed voters as idiots for calling out his son for lying - to represent him at a climate change debate.
If Mr Johnson really wanted to get Brexit done, then he could have voted for Mrs May’s deal, but he didn’t. Did no one ask themselves the question why when it seems that what she was offering was not substantially different to him. Much as it grieves me to say it his father may well be right. I think an awful lot of people have been taken in by his son’s cultivated persona and false promises.
I notice that the conservatives have already allowed Ms Patel to re- surface tonight - she’s been very conspicuous by her absence during the election campaign. I’m just waiting now for Mr Rees Mogg and Mr Duncan-Smith to be catapulted back into the public domain. Heaven help us all.

Tory.

Labour.

Feel really gutted so far. Kind of want to cry.

Why should people be made to feel scared to declare their support for Tory.. just behave people!!

I had to vote for the slightly less evil party with the slightly less nasty activists, the better choice of human beings for cabinet positions and PM and the only slightly less fascist positions on the referendum and women's rights

what's it to do with you anyway ? get over it love.

Labour

if it's so bad why have so many labour areas gone over to the tories ?

The people who decline to answer make me laugh so hard.

This is an anonymous forum and no one actually cares how you personally voted. You're not the queen ffs.

Tory

SNP.

Labour. Gutted. Will be a bumpy few years if you’re poor/ill/not white British but you know people need that Brexit. Will be interesting to see Sturgeon handing Boris his arse on a plate for the next few years. Hope the Scottish get what they want - think they will see a lot of English migrants heading their way from the North of England!

@SilverySurfer I'm joining you in the corner. I'll bring wine and pop corn. Although as we both voted Conservative I might need to bring flack jackets for us both!

FYI I'm 42 and I'm not a granny yet.
