To ask who you are voting for?

[I5itm3]

Labour
Tories
Lib Dem
Green
Reform
SNP (Scotland)

And why?

REFORM

I want to vote, I think it’s important but I feel I have no one to vote for.

Unfortunately, I think this is how many people feel.

Very few people are voting with genuine confidence in reality, I think.

but why are they not already working towards things they say they want to do etc ? surley they should already be trying to do what they can ?

Labour as most of their values match my own. Simple as that.

SNP. I've no other option as they're the only party trying to remove Scotland from the completely and utterly toxic union.

What @OperationGoldDawn ? How can they do that when they're not in power?

Will you be loving it so much if the Tories get back in and promptly renege on their promise to amend the Equality Act?

I have no idea what to do.

My area has been moved in the boundary nonsense and lumped together with two other areas both from another borough. It's not even named in the constituency title.

Apparently the Tory candidate has been excellent on local issues over the last couple of years, but I have no idea as I've never heard of him before.

The Labour candidate has appeared from nowhere, and social media posts seem to indicate that she has left her partner back in London days after her partner losing her dad and losing a child in recent weeks. No connection to the area.

Two independents, one Lib Dem, one Green Party and one Reform all of which I've seen nothing about and a couple can not even be found on social media so no campaigning.

I'm not even sure how the successful candidate is going to work for three different areas across two council boroughs.

I'm really at a loss.

I think the "you don't ask" is totally outdated now.

People do ask "in real life"

^This^ Thank you for articulating exactly how I feel.

If the LibDems knew what a woman was, I'd vote for them.
But they don't, so I'm struggling.

Exactly, Nigel Farage and his dog whistle policies - I'm so confused as to why people don't see it.

But then people voted to leave the EU so....

I’m another who is politically homeless. Voted Labour all my life, but if they can’t define what 51% of population is and insist on pandering to the extreme views of very few, then I won’t vote for them. Think they will sacrifice women (the biological ones) and our hard-won rights to keep the hard-left in their party quiet once in power. As did the tories on Brexit/ EU membership to pacify their hard-right extremists - and look how that turned out.

The Green party have abandoned the very reason they were set up and have become a trans-activist party - I am especially annoyed by the trans takeover as I work in the green sector. Lib dems are even worse.

I don’t have a Party of Women candidate in my area, can’t face voting Reform.

It’s a free country and you can vote for who you like but I’m genuinely interested in how those who say they’ll vote Reform can square that with their stated policy in relation to the Equality Act, and the implications for women.

Labour. I like starmer. Hes intelligent. Measured and decent

I also have been teaching under a tory government and seen first hand the destruction of education and the poverty of the children im teaching.

I cant access any support for mental health and social services for those children like i could when labour were last in power

I'm voting for Party of Women too, and also live in a Labour stronghold constituency.

Either Labour or Lib dem. Labour seem too much like the Tories these now unfortunately which is ashame. It's a Tory stronghold here but our mp has been suspended, so hoping enough won't vote for him. I like Plaid Cymru but our local school has been taking over by welsh nationalists, who have helped remove the English Stream and turned it into what they call Bilingual classes, which i am not keen on. Outside of the Welsh language issue, I definitely agree with their polices though.

Former Labour voter who cant vote for them because of their misogyny. Not sure if I can bring myself to vote for a tory and lib dem or greens are more of a disgrace than labour. Reform I wouldnt consider if they were the only ones on the ballot. So it's either tory or spoilt ballot writing in Party of Women.

Agree, am actually exhausted with getting told 'vote for others benefits, vote for the greater good' which actually as pp says is only voting for those at the ends of things, and just fucks over those of us in the squashed middle (and I know how much some on mn hate the squashed middle having an opinion!)

I will be voting Labour as our current mp is both safe and also a very good mp. I've met him a few times, and he actually does care about the city..I have however contacted him on the women's rights issue and am waiting for a response.
This is the only thing that worries me overall.

Conservative. Cannot support Labour as a woman. Plus I think they would be worse than useless in government. Utter lack of clarity on their policies and funding. Tories aren't great, obviously, but best of a bad bunch in my opinion. A shit show all round really.

So many women saying women must use our vote.

And then so many of those are voting for parties and policies that not only ignore our sex but refuse to even recognise it.

I thought there was speculation that Labour will bring pensions into the sphere of inheritance tax, hence "taxing pensions".

because that can’t while they are still in opposition …

Why are people bashing others for not voting for their preferred party?
The question asked who are you voting for..
