To ask you if there was a general election today, who would you vote for?

[Ponderousness]

Just curious really. Seen a lot of hate for the governments handling of various things but they did recently win by a landslide and I’m not sure if people truly believe the opposition could do better.

So if it was just red or blue and there were a vote today, who would you vote for?

I’d vote Labour.

YABU - Conservative
YANBU - Labour

Neither. Last time I voted for the party least likely to win which as the Green Party. I would vote for someone who would not win again - certainly not the 2 main ones. Labour is completely hopeless as an opposition and I don't like Brexit.

Labour, really don't like Starmer but much better than the alternative.

Conservative. Who the hell else is there to vote for in England.

Conservative

Not for but against. Against Boris Johnson. He and his mates have been wrecking the NHS for years, and now have the fucking cheek to clap it.

Green

SNP/ Plaid - Greedy separatists who are set on becoming a name in the history books rather than helping their actual constituents

Load of utter shite.

My local SNP MP is consistently available to the public, happy to stop and chat in the street with people, regularly gets out canvassing and knocking doors himself.

Contrast that with the MSP for Central Edinburgh, who never appears at her surgery, and whose office doesn't bother to respond to letters.

I guess if the two choices were Tory or Labour, I'd have to go with Tory. At least with the Tories you know what you are getting, Labour generally and Sir Kier in particular seem incapable of deciding anything. The problem with Labour over the past decade is that they've had weak leaders who look as they don't actually want to be in power, because it's too difficult - much easier to criticise from the sidelines without having to come up with a workable solution.

That said, last time I spoilt my ballot, and I probably would do if there were an election tomorrow. (It couldn't be today because it's a Wednesday.)

Labour. This shower of incompetent, incapable, uncaring Brexiteers are appalling.

Taking us out of the SM/CU in the middle of a global pandemic is beyond unforgiveable and giving all their mates million pound procurement contracts also. Dido Harding anyone?

And what happened about Jennifer Arcuri...giving your shag tens of thousands of public money is ok now?

It should be realized that Labour wouldn't have done any better re Covid except possibly waste even more money on it.
We're knackered for years to come anyway.

I'd spoil my ballot.

Neither

I'd encourage the entire nation to spoil their ballot. Vote in no one so the parties get it into their heads that THEY need to bloody well change. But I am labour generally.

Labour but only because I'm fed up of the Tories.

Conservative. I think we need them to help us out of this economy mess

what's the point of spoiling your ballot ? nobody gives a toss if you do that,just don't bother going to votein the first place.
starmer is so wet you could wring him out and there would only be 95% solid matter left.
i'm conservative all the way and don't give a fuck what others think of that.

Labour or Green.

Green.

However if there was a general election next week I am almost certain it would be a conservative outcome.

People like to moan about them but it's a case of I'm alright, Jack.

I'd hope that this time round there would be a decent independent standing. That way I would be able to cast my vote in good faith and according to the spirit not the UK system.

Where I am is staunchly Tory, MP even thought he had a passing chance at being PM. The Labour candidate is a twat, utterly unvoteable and the Indies all seem to be divorced from local reality, unless you want to literally hug a tree?

I may have posted before about how politically homeless I am!

I would vote Conservative

Utterly astonishing that people would still vote tory after the shitshow of the last years.

I'd be depressed about having to choose but I like my local Labour MP a lot and I'd never vote Tory if you paid me, so it would probably be Labour.

Labour...but I've always voted them anyway. I'm surprised at people who were torys or on the fence last election would vote them again. I feel like banging my head against a brick wall when people decide they don't like a party based on the leaders personality this is politics not X factor your voting based on what policies best fit your values and benefit society/country as a whole.

Torys have

failed time and time again to lead in a pandemic - locking down to late (he's finally admitted this is a lesson learnt) investing £12 billion in a system that was shambolic because they had a vested interest, allowed party members to break the rules and condoning on national television (even silencing head of nursing as she didn't agree and removing from panel) gaslighting society into believing the nhs is a charity by cheering on 100 year old men for circling their house and clapping weekly....I could go on

They've stripped the nhs so much it's at bare bones hence being completely unable to cope (anyone who says it's been mismanaged for years don't bs it's never been in the state it has these past 5/6 years due to services being removed, staffing shortages etc)

They've repeatedly voted to starve children

Utterly astonishing that people would still vote tory after the shitshow of the last years.

Isn't it? Genuinely surprises me. Even some of the most dyed-in-the-wool Conservatives I know are unimpressed with the last few years.
