To ask who you are voting for?

[I5itm3]

Labour
Tories
Lib Dem
Green
Reform
SNP (Scotland)

And why?

Ah yes the wealthy "I'm alright Jack so sod the rest" boomer brigade who want to protect their money at the expense of everyone else.

I can’t believe how many people are voting Tory! Have you been living under a rock?! The NHS is on its knees because of the greedy "protect the wealthy at the expense of the poor" Tories. People have quite literally DIED because of the Tories.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves

And I can't believe how many naive fools there are thinking Labour will make it better.

Well this is true. Though I think that under Labour (and SNP/Lib Dem/Green) the pushback that has been succeeding recently may reverse.

@EnglishBluebell people can vote for whoever they want. I’m voting Tory and don’t feel ashamed. I’m sad that there isn’t a party or leader who I can feel really hopeful about but Sunak feels a safer option than Starmer.

This

No, I’m not a wealthy, I’m alright Jack boomer. I’m wary of a politician who wants to raise money and has promised not to go for working families. As I’m retired, I’m not working and though he has vowed to honour triple lock, I wonder if I’m in Starmer’s target. Savvy?
Try not to age bash. It doesn’t become you.

I have the right to vote Conservative if I wish. Stop blaming people who don’t share your political views. It’s a free country in case you don’t know.

Is that you Angela? 🤣

And @EnglishBluebell I really, really object to the “everyone is equal and all views are valid…. Unless you don’t agree with me in which case you’re loathsome” sentiment.

Labour. I want people to be ahead of profits. I think capitalism has gone too far.

None of the main parties which leaves me with an Independent with a single item manifesto to renationalise the water companies or the Monster Raving Loony Party

None of them represent me, and none of them deserve my vote - except maybe the Loonies. I could certainly get behind mandatory brunch breaks.

I cannot believe British politicians have sunk so low. We'd be better picking a parliament from a random selection of people registered to vote.

Unsure, but it is annoying when people say I can’t believe you’re voting for ^^

Obviously, like for any government, wider world events play a significant role in how well the country does under their tenure.

It might not be entirely the Tories fault but I don't think anyone could argue, with any credibility, that life for most people in the UK has been better under the Tories (Cameron through to Sunak) than it was under Blair and Brown.

Not labour. I don't trust them on women's rights.

However bad the English NHS is, the Welsh NHS which has been under Labour control for 20+ years is far far worse.

Labour cannot be trusted with the NHS. It was Blair who set the ball rolling towards the mess we are now in by bringing in the disastrous partnerships with private companies.

Two things here,

firstly the others have no intention of doing anything about it

and

yes, actually I do think they will.

I am struggling on where to put my vote. I can not vote for a party that do not hold women’s rights within their agenda so this leaves me with the Conservatives and Reform. I am wondering if I will even vote now.

I have no idea.
Conservative is really the best candidate, new to this constituency but more experienced, been in the area a lot and pitching in at local events since he was chosen but he is a Tory!
Labour seems like a nice guy, local resident but his campaigning is just "Don't vote Tory", and he's not been seen about the area plus I'm concerned about the bigger issues like women's rights and rising costs.
Lib-Dem - no leaflet, no social media presence so not worth my time
Reform - not a particularly likeable individual
Independent - No, just no! Local snob

Who to vote for? God knows!

@EnglishBluebell We live in a democracy thankfully and everyone is entitled to their own opinion and make their own choice on how to vote. You may not agree with their opinion, but if you can’t accept that people have different opinions to you without trying to shame them, it is you who has a problem.

I agree with @ComeAlongPeggy, I’m fed up of this puritantical way of seeing the world.

Sure, they know what a woman is, but can you help me understand what the fuck they have done/will do for women?

Are you OK?

Jesus, they walk among us

LibDem because our Tory incumbent is a waste of skin.

Are you?
