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?

I’m not sure there will be anyone deserving of my vote.

So perhaps I won’t vote.

Miljah · 30/03/2019 12:01

Lib Dem.

whiteroseredrose · 30/03/2019 12:01

Really struggling. Have always been a floating voter but usually Lib Dem or Green. Put off by their right-on attitude to self ID though.

DioneTheDiabolist · 30/03/2019 12:01

I'll probably vote Alliance. The DUP have some pretty hardcore voters and their reversal to pro EU in the last few days may cushion them from real damage.

BondiandBabe · 30/03/2019 12:03

I'm hoping Chukka Umuna's new party will field a local candidate, I'll vote for them.

bakingbernie · 30/03/2019 12:03

Not Labour with Jeremy Corbyn in charge. Even though my local Labour candidate is perfectly acceptable I could not take the risk of the Government being labour. With John McDonnell as Jeremy Corbyn's left hand mine the prospects for UK would be awful

BeerandBiscuits · 30/03/2019 12:07

Based on past elections no one on Mumsnet will vote Tory.
But they'll still win.

Dolly2007 · 30/03/2019 12:10

@DioneTheDiabolist I believe it won't. It will not be easy and there is tough years ahead, but in time the poorest will gain.

We have imported huge numbers of unskilled labour to this country. From a personal point of view I have been in business 22 years without a shadow of doubt before 2004 it was very much easier for trades people. Now the market is saturated and driven down prices. At first I thought great cheap labour to employ but the reality of this soon hit me. Not great for youngsters. I really feel for them that they can't and won't have things as easy as did, life opportunities and housing will be a massive struggle for them, under the present system. I'm not against immigration but it must be skilled and earning over £30k.

That's not my main reason for wanting to leave the EU, that list is endless.

Well I'm not voting for our current Tory MP who can't make up her bloody mind - her recent votes on Brexit contradict each other. I would need to see who else is standing locally, but I can't vote for a party led by Corbyn.

BercowsSilkTie · 30/03/2019 12:13

@Dolly2007 I think many of us will be interested in your long list of reasons to leave the EU so please go ahead and share them with us.

Boom76 · 30/03/2019 12:17

Tory

Dolly2007 · 30/03/2019 12:20

@BercowsSilkTie It would take too long and frankly this has been fine to death. If you're happy with a EU super state and the potential of your children being conscripted to the EU army and that next year a a few more poor Eastern European countries are joining, fine. I do not want all European countries equal while we foot the bill and bailouts. The likes of Greece should never have been allowed to join.

I always vote Tory because I'm more right wing than left wing but Labour always win in my town so I may not even bother next time. Also I'm in my 50s so have lived through both Labour and Tory govt and never noticed any difference in my day to day life whichever is in power so again may not bother.

CatsinSpace · 30/03/2019 12:21

Fairly safe Labour seat. MP remainer, constituency voted Leave in ref.

I'd vote Conservative if they stand on a Leave ticket. Previously always Labour.
DH is Conservative already.

PerditaMacleod · 30/03/2019 12:27

I wouldn't want to vote for any of them. The political system in this country at the moment is embarrassingly farcical.

AdultHuman · 30/03/2019 12:30

None of them and I will tell them why by spoiling.

bakingbernie · 30/03/2019 12:32

The problem is by not voting is that you could let in Jeremy Corbyn. Also if you don't vote you can no longer complain about the state of the country!

Dolly2007 · 30/03/2019 12:34

I wouldn't vote in a referendum to decide may deal vs remain. I would hope people would protest and not vote. A vote is not valid unless 30% of the electorate votes.

No people who vote Labour do that.

Also if you don't vote you can no longer complain about the state of the country!

Are you going to send the police around and stop everyone complaining using hate crime policy?

BercowsSilkTie · 30/03/2019 12:44

So nothing based on facts then Hmm

SisyphusDad · 30/03/2019 12:47

The person who is best place to promote a revoke / remain outcome.

Given my current (Tory) MP's voting record (doesn't seem to have an ERG perspective, just a 'follow the Government' record), it won't be her. Unless they come out with a clear and unequivocal Remain position, it won't be Labour. The Lib Dems? I'd need to be convinced that voting for them would make a sufficient difference.

So my fear is that there will be no one on the slate that will properly and viably represent the Remain cause.

Portillista · 30/03/2019 12:51

Have voted Tory all my life (the clue's in the name). However, I will now be voting for anyone who supports remain/revoke.

Portillista · 30/03/2019 12:53

@BercowsSilkTie I think we really wouldn't be interested in the OP's long list of reasons. Grin

BercowsSilkTie · 30/03/2019 12:55

Yes it has been done to death but no one has answered with an actual reason based on fact.

GinUnicorn · 30/03/2019 12:58

Anyone who is pro remain.
