Will you change who you vote for at the next General Election?

[Pandersmum]

We all had our own reasons for voting as we did in the 2024 general election.

Knowing what you now know, would you still vote for who you voted in 2024?

if you would vote differently, why?

I will vote for whatever candidate in my area is most likely to keep reform out.

I would still vote who I voted for (but it was an independent anyway).

I wanted the Tories out but in my old neighbourhood they weighed the Labour votes so no tactical voting necessary. I could vote for whoever I wanted. Would not have changed the outcome.

I may do, depending on the possibility of Reform winning where I may be living at the time.

I have to say though that Labour still have 4 years in power and as much as I truly despise Starmer- without Farage, Reform are nothing and will implode and a lot can happen in that time. Starmer could do us all a favour and change the electoral system to PR as it is in Wales etc.

A much fairer and representative democratic system. FPTP is truly outdated

Who else can I vote for? The Greens and lib dems both think men who want to be women deserve more rights than actual women, the Tories and reform are both heinous Labour are crap too but who else is there?

Can I let you know nearer the time

I live in a marginal seat and am usually an anti-Tory (and in the brave new world, anti-Reform) voter. That will be my priority next time too.

If we had a different system, I think I'd likely be a Green or Lib Dem voter. But I've never had to really think about it - I just study the polls to work out which way to go here.

Probably, because I should have lived into a different constituency by then.

Likely to be the same party though.

Labour?! Honestly I would hold my
nose and vote for anyone who wasn’t a fascist.

This is the point. People forget that who you are voting for is your local constituency MP. You don't vote for a government or a prime minister. If you have a good MP of whichever party, why change?

I will vote the same as Idid this time

My priority will be whatever it takes to stop Reform, and the Tories.

I'll be voting Reform

Well on knowing what a woman is, I do think Labour have made big strides, albeit carefully (and who can bloody blame them?)

Because you also live in the actual country, as well as just where you live, though?

Yes - I definitely will be, after 50 plus years voting labour I do not think they are striving for any equality but bowing down to big business and not issues we have in the UK for labour demand. We all seem to be getting poorer in real terms. I used to say that I couldn't quantify what a loaf of bread would cost in 10 years time under Theresa May and since then we had Boris, Truss and Sunak, and I don't see how no Dom's, or lost Eton Boys, or wet lettuce has any idea how the working class and middle class have been squeezed. Lack of nurseries, doctors and GP appointments, WRAC infested schools, and mental wellbeing trying to deal with this daily, but over a decade. I am well aware the crash in 2008 when that hit the UK and COVID where billions was made by billionaires now taking bankruptcy rather than pay shoddy PPE money back into the system. I have never seen UK so divided and at each others throats and couldn't care less about a neighbourhood than at this point in time . I don't believe Britain is broken as millions of pounds ciphered out to rich people who don't pay the same rate of tax. It all needs an overhaul so everyone fairs a little better than the present, rich folk who work in Dubai. It's very scary given the backdrop in USA. Guess you have to vote with conscious and if you don't have kids, family, elderly to worry about then it really doesn't matter on a 6 figure salary and 5 off side hustles.

Because whichever government gets elected has far more impact on my life, and the life of the country, than one good MP. My MP is excellent and a decent chap, one of the very few survivors of Boris Johnson's purge of moderate Tories - but I cannot in all conscience vote for him because in doing so I am enabling the wider Conservative party, who's policies I oppose. I would rather have an ineffectual MP, than a Conservative or Reform government.

I didn't get who I voted for I tend to change party according to manifesto, but whatever happens I won't be voting for Labour.

You're right. But I'm still going to vote for them. Give me a better alternative.

Knowing what I know now, I would still have voted Labour in 2024. I plan to vote Green next time (although I could be persuaded to vote tactically to keep Reform out).

Labour
Lib Dems
Greens
Tories (awful, but not as bad as Reform)
Spoiling your ballot paper by writing "NONE OF THEM THEY ALL SUCK"

It surely goes without saying that none of them are better alternatives

Fortunately I'm safe to vote Reform as I know that they have no chance of actually winning my constituency, I just want to apply as much right wing pressure as possible by contributing to their overall vote share. If they were actually going to win I probably would spoil my ballot

Yes I’d vote the same. Even if I might not like some of their polices, there’s only one party that truly stands overall for what I believe in

The handful of council elections last night were terrible for Labour. They lost every seat they were defending and looks like they got single figure percentages each time. Wonder how long Starmer has got

Yes at General Election if the same candidate stood. So disappointed he didn't get reelected as he was very good and local.

I'm disappointed at local level though, we got rid of some good experienced councillors who were always around the neighbourhoods doing stuff and replaced them with ones that are invisible.

But if recent local elections and by-elections are anything to go by Labour will be out.
