Mumsnet poll - how did you vote?

[Ofthread]

YABU for Tory
YANBU for Labour

Sorry, no options for others!

Did you not watch the BBC late last night and be horrified by the attitude of the momentum people like Landesman, I don’t particularly like Alistair Campbell but he was at his wits end with their arrogance and out of touch attitude. How can anyone be stupid enough to vote labour?

@Skyejuly yes, chuffed. Do you have a problem with that?

None of your business....ballots are private for a reason!

If people hate Corbyn (which many do, and he's the cause of a lot of the Tory landslide- many Labour canvassers say that on the doorstep many people said they wouldn't vote for the terrorist-lover Corbyn) that's on Corbyn, and the party for voting him in as leader.

I now hope that Labour become more 'normal,' centre left as we need to be to win, and we get a sensible leader who helps us win an election. I'm affiliated to Labour, so I get a vote in any leadership election, and I'll be voting for a candidate who is reasonable and normal and I think won't be a turn off to so many voters.

Just shows how disproportionately left wing Mumsnet is.

Not surprising really, given the relatively educated demographics.

I googled this, and apparently the most highly educated segment is fairly even split between conservative (24%) and Labour (28%)

Admittedly it's the only segment where Consevatives don't outweigh Labour, but it's also the segment where Lib Dems (also 28%) draw alongside Labour, having been outweighed at lower education levels.

If there were another higher education tier, it looks like we'd be able to say the most educated people vote Lib Dem.

Of course another explanation for left-wing bias could be that posters are young, apparently the crossover age at which people become more likely to vote Conservative than Labour is 40. It seems likely that a parenting forum would be skewed towards under-40's?

Conservative. I've been shocked by the way I've seen labour voters speak to people online over the least few weeks and today. No need to be rude just because someone has different needs/priorities/values to you

Just shows how disproportionately left wing Mumsnet is
I don't think it does really.
Labour supporters just like to try to shove it down peoples throats far more than conservatives. Maybe that is where the name of the party comes from.

The only reason I didn’t vote for the Conservative party was, after he made the islamaphobic comments about letterboxes, Islamaphobia crime had risen to 37%.

I think it’s about time we stopped handing out freebies to everyone and people took responsibility for their own lives. I come from a working class family background who have always voted Labour, but we didn’t ever receive any handouts for anything.

My god the arrogance. The hypocricy amazes me, On the one hand you all claim to support the poor and uneducated and on the other how dare they speak. You have no idea of the educational level of the tory voter either. It is about time this intolerance of any view that is different from yours stops. It is not very socialist!

@OnlyTheTitOfTheIceberg who mentioned women? You do know working class men had to fight to get the vote too.

Labour. Because I am terrified of Brexit. Because the NHS is one of the proudest things this little island has ever achieved. Because children going to school hungry and cold is immoral. Because dependence on food banks makes me weep. Because despite the fact that I am in a well paid job, with a good pension I believe in the many and not the few.

Right now I am ashamed of my country.

Toffeepennie I do want you to say something like you whittled your own candidate or stole one from another constituency

Labour whilst holding my nose!

@TSSDNCOP - I didn’t do either of those things, but I might have gone straight home from the polling station and started looking into how to become an mp for the party I wanted.

Tory. Obviously ecstatic that they’ve won, but sad to see how Corbyn has managed to make labour unelectable. Politics need good electable parties to keep the current government on their toes. It’s not healthy to have a one man race so I really hope labour get back on their feet and elect a leader who can make the party a feasible alternative.

despite initially being pro Brexit I voted labour - it was a safe seat and labour lost it. northern constituency .

Labour. Am gutted.

Green Party, if I'm honest I did it because I've had enough of lab and con back and forth bullshit this voting season

And I wasn't about to put a racist in possible power either.

SNP. Our SNP MP increased his majority 😁

Well toffee it sounds like you actually will be whittling your own candidate. Fair play to you, when you’re finished come back and tell us when you debut on Question Time!

@Backtoreality1 Er, it's an anonymous forum!

Brexit party. Tactically voted to reduce chance of Labour getting in. Would have voted conservatives.

Lib dem tactical vote but failed as in a true blue area.
