To ask who you are voting for?

[I5itm3]

Labour
Tories
Lib Dem
Green
Reform
SNP (Scotland)

And why?

I'm undecided for the first time ever. I can't bring myself to vote Labour but I'm not sure the Conservatives deserve my vote. But I will vote and certainly not spoil my paper.

I live in Wales and it's an absolute No from me.

I'll be voting Green

I really wanted to vote Labour, I'm a swing voter.
I absolutely cannot now his behaviour has come to my attention.

I just don't know.

Sunak is rich and privileged and leads a party who doesn’t govern in the interests of all citizens.
Which party governs in the interest of all citizens?

Who's asking? I'm always suspicious and cynical about political posting on here. I don't want my opinion 'harvested' because I'm in some sort of demographic. If you belong to some shitty think-tank, do one.

Who’s behaviour and what behaviour do you mean ?

Conservatives, though it was probably the first time I’ve really struggled with that.

Labour getting in will be a disaster for this country. And for women.

Labour.

But I feel like nothing will change really either way. Nothing will bring my £222 council tax bill down, Childcare won’t be any cheaper, NHS will likely take years to improve.

@LookingForwardToSunshine I don't know where you are, but I'm in Scotland. I have voted Green many times but the Scottish Greens are now completely batshit and it will be a cold day in hell before I vote for them again.

Not going to vote, never do, the main parties are shite, the smaller parties haven't a hope and no party ever kept their election promises.

Conservative:
Women’s rights are central to my voting and I don’t trust labour with it. I don’t want biological males in women’s spaces or to be told women can have a penis. I’m also sick to death of men telling women how to be women. Women

Defence spending - Sunak has committed 2.5 of GDP by 2030 which I think is critical. Starmer has said he will commit but has given no timescales

Private schools - I completely disagree with the 20% VAT and feel it’s the politics of envy

NHS - needs reform not more money pumped into it. I think people need to take greater responsibility for their health and the choices they make. Although I do like Wes Streeting’s stance on the NHS but not enough for me to vote labour

As a woman I cannot vote Labour. So I will be holding my nose and voting Tory

@DuesToTheDirt I'm on the south coast. My local MP is Desmond Swayne.

I don't actually want to vote but I will.

I'm in a very safe Labour seat, so won't influence anything but I do think there needs to be a shake up. I don't think they're the ones to do it, and as my vote won't affect anything in my constituency, I'm voting Reform. I hope if they get a significant number of votes, it might give the 2 main parties a kick up the arse.

I've got very little political knowledge, so might be talking out of my arse. But there you go, it's my reasoning.

Labour
Because they are the only reasonable option against the Tories. And I like Labour's manifesto and what they stand for.
And to all the single issue voters "can't vote Labour because Labour don't know what a woman is".... really?
You don't care about austerity, how poor people have been vilified, how much homelessness has grown under the Tory rule, how food banks are now a common sight, how the rich have become so much richer and the poor have become so much poorer? You don't care about that?
Instead you just repeat ad nauseam the same boring old line.

Im loving how Starmer has lost voters by going woke around gender issues.

I had to check I didn't write this myself!

My friend says it's not worth turning up just to spoil a ballot.

I'm so conflicted

pritty much the story for a good percentage of the uk population

What do the Tories do for women? Not much and the what is a woman argument is rather weak.

Do we need a change? Yes.

The problem is: Labour isn't the change we need.

and i vote Sunak

I find it quite odd that women are even considering Reform, the party planning on getting rid of the Equality Act !

Green. Even though they won't win in my area they are the closest to my political beliefs.

Quite!

Labour have stated that tax on pensions is not a part of their plans
