If there was an election tomorrow, who would you vote for?

[SecretKeeper1]

Obviously the Tories are a complete shitshow, but Labour aren’t a lot better and I couldn’t hand on heart vote for either in good conscience right now.

So… IF a snap election was called, like in December 2019, who would you vote for? Would it make a difference to you if Boris was replaced as Tory leader? Would you even bother voting or maybe go for a totally different national or local party?

Just curious!

I have an exceptionally good MP presently serving his second term in office. He is very active in his constituency and has called out PM on several days casinos

I’d vote for him again

I can see the next election being one of tactical voting by district, to remove the Tory party so all other votes jyst go to Lib Dem or green or Labour in district

@TheHamburgler

Tories have been in 11 or 12 years now, Labour had 13 years before that and danced us into a housing crash and economic recession.

Would Boris have fared better if Covid hadn’t come along? I think maybe yes. It’s clear he wanted to be a “good time” prime minister and just lead us through Brexit, waving union jacks and being jolly British.
If you’re going to blame Labour for a global recession, then you should blame Boris for Covid.

This!!! Sick of seeing people blame labour for the GLOBAL crash. @SecretKeeper1 try watching "the big short". It's on Disney+ and Netflix right now.

I just don’t know.

The self ID issue is too important to ignore. I also do not trust Angela Rayner and the Corbynite wing of Labour not to stage some sort of bonkers coup and drag us all into Socialism. They are also no friends to the countryside.

I have always voted Conservative but I couldn’t bring myself to do it again with Bojo in charge. I do however believe that however corrupt and contemptible and awful they are proving to be at the minute, we would be in a much worse situation with respect to the pandemic and the economy right now had Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott got into power.

Lib Dem’s and Greens are out because of Self ID.

I just do not know. How sad that our representatives, as a body of people, have fallen so low.

@Djwt

Hate them all. Would probably vote Tory. Hate them too. But marginally better then the alternatives.

Yup, I think the same. So its between voting Tory or spoiling my vote. But I think women matter so probably vote Tory.

But I think women matter so probably vote Tory.

Freedoms matter to me more so I could protest as a woman

If I could go home and vote tomorrow, SNP

As long as Angela Rayner and Corbyn are anywhere near labour, and until they stand up for womens rights I will never vote for them

But I can’t vote conservative as long as Boris or any of his cronies are in cabinet. Liz truss is awful, she’s done nothing but play the party game and dot around jobs being useless and taking ridiculous photos. I’d be ok with Rishi or hunt, anyone else no chance. They all need to go.

That leaves me with Lib Dems and luckily we have a pretty good candidate

I wish this guy would join Labour, he is awesome, level headed and on point. Someone this country needs tbh! twitter.com/nazirafzal?t=_xW1RQibVU8tOye4UDlYNQ&s=09

You won't vote Labour because of their stance on womens rights but you will vote lib dem? At least be consistent

Don't know but couldn't vote labour found them nothing but negative and undermining throughout the whole pandemic.

Everytime on interviews they rant about how shit the tories are.When asked directly what should be done never answer.
Always a half arsed response of it not our job to tell the people in power what they should do.

No idea! There's no one suitable...

@Nightlystroll

You think the Labour Party caused the 2008 US sub prime scandal, subsequent financial crash and global recession?

They didn't cause it but they must have known it was coming. It had been reported in the broadsheets for a couple of years before. My dad told me about it and he had no idea about finance. So even if the Treasury didn't have its eye on what was happening in different parts of the world, all they had to do was open the Times, the FT, the Telegraph and they could read about. Brown was meant to be this money wizard (I won't mention gold prices), why didn't he get us prepared for it whilst in the Treasury and even more so as PM. Instead of leaving it and then making last minute negotiations of bailing out banks on favourable terms for the bankers. He should have been reforming the banking sector long before the crisis hit our shores. Other countries rode out the crisis because they had money in the bank and hadn't just kept spending money they didn't have because it looked good with the voters.

It's beyond me how anyone can use this as a reason for voting Conservative when they have just witnessed Tory government cuts to the NHS ahead of a pandemic that everyone knew was coming. Ignoring all the warnings from their own pandemic simulation exercise. Boris Johnson lying about how prepared we were, about how much PPE there was. Dodging cobra meetings to sort out his divorce because his girlfriend was pregnant. Making speeches about how other countries were overreacting and how this could be an opportunity for us. Boasting about shaking hands with covid patients. The highest government borrowing since WW2, lots of which has been wasted on incompetence and corrupt deals with mates. "Let the bodies pile high." Is this really the level of competence and preparedness people are looking for?

If Rishi became prime minister I would vote for him.

I would vote for Rishi too

I'd have to hope for an Gender Critical independent.

There is no way on earth I will vote for a party who is pro self ID or who is unable to tell the difference between men & women so that's pretty much everyone other than the Conservatives on the never list & they are on shaky ground.

Can't vote Conservative with the way they've acted.

Who is left to vote for?

@pilates

If Rishi became prime minister I would vote for him.

With the levels of deprivation we have now it would definitely be a good idea to have a thick Thatcherite billionaire making decisions about public spending on health, pensions, and welfare going forward.

@pilates

If Rishi became prime minister I would vote for him.

Given his lies and ignorance re the 3 million self employed he excluded from covid grants, no way will he become Tory leader. He's tainted by that fiasco and lost the Tories millions of votes.

I probably wouldn't vote for the first time in decades. I can't believe that Labour still hasn't sorted itself out and become a viable option, when they could stroll into a victory at the moment. That gives me no confidence at all.

Overall the quality of our politicians is appalling, although I save most of my disgust for the present government. In the past I have voted for most of the parties, but mostly voted Conservative. I can't believe that anyone in the Conservative party thought BJ was someone they wanted to lead them and us. He's an embarrassing joke.

I just want a decent opposition. Democracies need that to work as they were intended to.

I’d vote Labour to get the corrupt, lying Tories out.

As a banker his abject greed, irresponsibility and lack of foresight also contributed to the conditions that created the 2008 banking crash, so there's that as well.

But he's got nice hair and so that's enough for a lot of people.

Conservative, and hope that Liz Truss is the next PM.

I'd vote Labour to get the Tories out.

They're all pretty terrible though.

I would vote Labour. Anything is better than the current lot

I forgot, finding a party that isn't going to ride roughshod over women's rights is another complication for me. At the moment that just leaves the Conservatives and I can't vote for them. Seems I'm a homeless voter

Ride roughshod over women's rights?

What rights are you thinking of?
