If we had a General Election now ...

Who would vote Tory and why?

Everyone who did last time, depressingly.

What's the alternative?

Some people have weird reasons - last election I heard a vox pop and a woman was saying she voted Troy because nobody else stood a chance in her constituency - her logic absolutely floored me but what can you do?

I’m not sure that’s true anymore. That’s why I started this thread. I’m curious to see.

No doubt I’ll be depressed reading replies though. We’ll see ...

Why don't you say who you would vote for and why Op?

Hmm I wouldn't vote tory but I've gone off labour now too. Difficult:(

No. But I wouldn’t vote for any other party either.

No and never have but plenty do and always will

I’d vote Labour as I have a fantastic Labour MP where I live now.

Soon to be moving though to a Tory constituency. I don’t like the Labour candidate there so would vote Green. Or maybe Labour to get the Tory out.

I’m a floating voter who would vote Tory, if for example Rory Stewart was leading the party and he got all the current corrupt lot out.

There is one of these threads at least once per week.
Why is it your business OP?

I must admit the opinion polls seem a bit strange. It's like the country is going to pieces and tory voters seem to want to retain the status quo regardless.

I'm afraid I cannot explain this phenomenon but would appreciate some insight (it can't all be the debate about trans people and safe spaces can it?).

I’m a lifelong Tory voter and there’s certainly no viable alternative currently!

Not a hope in hell would I ever vote Tory.

Labour don’t stand in my area. I’d vote Alliance or possibly SDLP/UUP.

Why is it your business OP?

Because it affects my life and my kids’ futures. It affects every one of our lives here, if we live in the U.K.

It’s good to discuss these things? Is that a good enough reason?

I'd vote Green like I always do

Well if Labour got their act together and stopped arguing over who has a cervix, maybe they would come across as more credible, plus there needs to be a massive shake up in the shadow cabinet There is no alternative for alot of people at the moment.

To be honest I would vote Labour. The biggest difference we need is a change of leader and while I think Kier Starmer is just not sparky enough - look what we’ve got by people voting for Boris because of his personality?

If voting for boring Kier means that we get a bit of sensible, straight laced government then that’ll do me quite frankly.

Green.

You know this is a public discussion forum, right?

Wouldn’t vote Tory and Labour have lost the plot at a time when they are needed the most . I think maybe Labour should split into 2 parties . No idea of who I would vote for .

Sadly Labour have specifically stated that, as a woman, they do not want my vote

I'm leftish leaning, but would hold my nose a vote Tory because of this

I’m not sure I could bring myself to. But there’s no viable opposition. I’d likely spoil my ballot.

I'd most likely spoil my ballot. Left wing politically homeless voter.

Yup. 100% the same.

I’d vote for Labour. My priority is getting the Tories out and Labour are the only ones who can do that. For me the situation is far too bad to be voting idealistically so it’s a “least worst” vote.
