Who you voting for next Election?

[Dolly2007]

I'm going to vote for an MP that supports Brexit and leaving the customs union and single market. What about the rest of you?

Sorry Wicked - I wasn't meaning to imply that all private school kids are hothoused - it was just the OP riled me with her comments about how crap state education is

FWIW - I am a product of an East Dunbartonshire school (Bearsden Academy albeit a loooooong time ago ) - although I would say that ds had a better all round education than I did , for all I got 6 As for my Highers in S5 (and then went off to St Andrews)

Lifelong labour voter (and until recently member) but really dislike my MP. Will prob vote labour anyway if they promise to do Brexit or the decisions already been made; if not maybe SDP? Am basically Blue Labour.

Labour.

I'll be voting SNP.

Probably Green. I will not vote Labour or Tory ever again.

I honestly don't know. I, too, am a swing voter who is finding I have fewer and fewer options available to me. Cannot consider Labour as long as Jeremy Corbyn leads it. LD - not after the coalition debacle. And, because I work in education and have also recently experienced the disgusting shambles of the local a&e with my baby grandson recently, I will never vote conservative again.

Won't make a blind bit of difference here - safe conservative seat with a 'local boy made good' encumbent whose main concern in life is flying a St George cross flag in the local market on April 23.

I stand by the fact that Scotland education is poor, private schools are one to two whole years ahead.

I have just had both my DC go through a mediocre state school and on to good Uni courses (Edin and Dundee) and I work in a similar state school as a support assistant.

I don't agree that Scottish education is poor, or at least that it's much different that it's ever been. The struggle to adequately educate some pupils starts from before they have even started school as they come from homes who don't value education.

There's a particularly massive struggle to educate many boys who won't, and have never, read a book because they spend all their spare time in front of screens. According to a recent piece of research, in general boys don't improve upon their reading skills from when they leave primary schooling, and many boys arrive with a reading age of 8-10.

Schools offer the content and are ambitious for the pupils, but unfortunately they can lead the horses to water but they can't make them drink.

Something else went wrong in Scottish society long before the current school issues, something which affected the ambitions of their parents.

I don't think I can give my vote to any party - the only one I would accept would be one that (a) does not include men in their definition of women and (b) will revoke article 50 and hold another referendum/simply scrap Brexit.

Chris Leslie is my MP. I will vote for him as I want my vote to go to a sure fire remain party.

While I won’t spoil my vote, its so tempting. it would be a pro remain party or maybe even (half joking here) The Monster Raving Loony Party, how bad could they be...

Joining this thread a bit late, sorry if someone has posted this already.

Dolly, the Lisbon 2020 stuff you posted about earlier has been reviewed by fullfact.

I have a dilemma. My local MP is great. She is a remainer and has voted in exactly the way i would want her to. She represents me and her (remain) constituents well. But she is labour. And a vote for her is supposedly for a Brexit manifesto. When i voted for her last time, i also emailed her and said it was a vote for her and her remain principals and NOT for Jeremy Corbyn. Next time i don't know what is for the best.

SNP. I would never have thought I would be saying that a few years ago but they are the only option here now. I also would vote yes in an indy ref now which is a complete about turn. Brexit has changed my political allegiances completely.

Chris Leslie is my MP. I will vote for him as I want my vote to go to a sure fire remain party.

Have the Tingers come out as remain? I thought they want a peoples vote I didnt think theyve come out and said what side theyre on have they?

My MP has been great, worked hard at representing his constituents (about 65% Remain here). But he's Labour. Unless there's a big change in the Labour party manifesto and leadership, if I vote for him then my vote will be counted amongst the "80% of people voted for Brexit-supporting parties") that keeps being trotted out.

In 2017, I saw what the Labour manifesto said about Brexit, guessed how that was going to be (mis)used by Brexiteers for ever after, and therefore I voted LibDem as the most likely alternative party in my constituency. So, unless there's a change in the Labour manifesto, I'll be voting LibDem again.

Interesting how many will be supporting SNP but voted no to independence. I voted yes to independence but dislike the SNP so avoid voting for them. I really hope we get an general election instead of a referendum.

My mp is crap. He's been sitting on the fence re Brexit.
However where I live you could be a paper bag and still win as a Tory candidate.

To be honest, I haven't got a clue - if I don't get what I voted for I'll have lost all faith in politics. Our MP holds a red hot seat, even if he loses 50% of his votes, he'll still win by a massive margin.

I have and will vote SNP and I voted yes for independence, although with only 51% of my heart. If we leave the EU due to the Anglo-centric government I will again vote for indepence with 100%.

No one who is currently elected. So Far - HoC have rejected 12 alternatives to WA, as well as WA.

Fuck em', just Fuck Them All - If they don't get WA through by the end of the week, that's it, they're all out I'm all for organized blockades - lorry drivers, farmers tractors or anything. How dare these peolple fuck around with so many people's lives.

This is no longer a Leave/Remain issue for me - this is about fucking wankers in charge, of me, in charge of all of us.

Dear fucking godding shite in hell - how very dare they.

No one who is currently elected
Agreed. I'm starting to think the whole shower should be banned from public office from the next general election.

Labour

SNP probably. And I was anti- independence.

Definitely not Tory. Normally vote Labour but they have been absolutely appalling throughout this whole mess. The Tories are such a mess that Labour should be killing it as the opposition but they’ve done nothing at all.

I've always been staunchly Tory. If we don't leave the EU and the referendum result is not upheld I can't see the point in voting for anyone as democracy evidently doesn't exist.
