GE is on! Remainers how will you vote?

[WarwickLife]

Just that really! The General Election is on, either 11th Dec or a few days before but it's going to happen now that Labour have agreed. Tactical voting websites are being prepared as we speak.

If you are a remainer, who will you vote for?

(And if any leavers lurk here, will you vote for Tories or Brexit party?)

I’m astonished by any woman voting for Labour or Lib Dem - like a lamb to the slaughter!

The Tories have implemented welfare cuts that have skyrocketed poverty for women and children, far disproportionate to the impact on men. They've slashed social care, the shortfall of which will fall to women; they under-fund and under-resource public services such as prisons leaving women under-protected and vulnerable, not to mention cutting or privatising public transport on which women depend far more heavily than men; they've even implemented that heinous "rape clause" to have women prove their third child was the product of rape so as to be eligible for state support!

What the hell is wrong with you???

Oh yeah, and pushed women into survival prostitution....

Oh god, and that's just off the top of my head, there are LOADS more things.

Labour no contest - we got our first Labour MP here in 2017 and want to hang on to him!

Re your comment about Brexit being the priority rather than women's rights, Brexit is not going to be sorted by any party as far as I can see. The Tories have split the country into angry groups and there seems no one with the wisdom and insight to bring it back together. However, the rights of women and safety of children are currently at a tipping point with the population starting to wake up to the awful reality of what is happening. Unless there's a candidate / party prepared to insist on the rights of women to have a respectful and open debate about conflicting rights, they won't get my vote. Frankly, any politician who dismisses women as bigots (as so many Lib Dem and Labour politicians do) renders themselves unfit to be part of a democratic parliament.

Anyone else worried we are going to end up with a Conservative/Brexit Party coalition government?

Labour.

That is a worry Jenni except at least we know it wouldn't last 5 minutes!

Bofster Why on earth would I vote for a candidate who wants abortions rights decimated, who insists that divorce laws are too in favour of women and who believes that same sex marriage is an aberration against 'god'.

Will have to spoil my ballot or vote for an independent. Tories now seeing the light on the issues with Self ID but all the others woeful. But can't bring myself to vote for the Tories this time - I usually do.

Labour - all women’s shortlists debacle
Green - ‘non-men’
Lib Dem’s - spineless
Conservatives - I’d rather be skinned alive.
Brexit party - s cinservatives.

I’m politically homeless.

I’m also in a county where you can’t move for fucking Tory MPs and it’s been that way since the year dot so it’s a pointless exercise anyway

want to vote lib dem as I'd like to revoke, but is there any point in such a safe seat?
Potatoes you should definitely vote Libdem as if enough people think the same as you then the Libdem candidate will win.

Remainer - Labour- it's all crap but I still have more faith in Jeremy than the other shit shower

Well Labour and Lib Dem both don’t think that the word ‘woman’ means anything - so I wouldn’t think for a second that they’re going to maintain women’s rights - let alone further them!

JenniR29 - That's just what I want.

Not sure . I'd like to unseat the current Tory in my area. Labour made huge gains on him in 2017 so it might be worth voting for them even though I'm much more Lib Dem orientated.

SNP.

Not to derail but did anyone watch Dispatches on CH4 the other night? Did it paint a rosy picture of selling of the NHS?

I wouldn’t be averse either @MilkTrayLimeBarrel!

*off 😞

I’m politically homeless so will vote tactically to get Tories out. Pointless round here sadly as Tories always get in with massive majority of thousands, despite shit MP.

@StealthPolarBear

We've already had an election flyer through the letterbox

Has it got a date on it?

I'm tactical voting, too. Whoever stands the best chance of defeating our Conservative MP, so probably LibDem. Just hoping they don't screw it up this year!

It was tactical voting that got the 1997 landslide for Labour. Personally, I think they should all set aside their differences and work to overcome Brexit and Austerity together instead of the tribalism, but I suppose it's too much to ask that they do this in a month.

Just been listening to LBC and over the space of 20 or so minutes, three callers announced they would be voting for the Brexit party.
I genuinely fear for my town if this is representative of the wider picture.

I live in a super safe Tory seat, God knows what they'd have to do for people not to vote for them, they couldn't have damaged the country more if they'd deliberately set out to do so.

I'll look on line and vote for whichever party (not Brexit, BNP, or any racist like that) might stand a chance against the Tory.

I voted remain. I’ve always voted Labour but not a chance this time. Tbh I’m not sure who I’ll vote for. I don’t want Labour in and I won’t vote Tory. That’s as far as I’ve got.
