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?)

Lib Dem. I am a Lib Dem supporter in general.
However, please vote tactically. For me, that's the best way to use my vote. If Labour were strong round here, I'd be voting for them, while campaigning for Lib Dem in a seat where Lib Dem have a chance.

Musicalstatues · 29/10/2019 12:56

Sadly I live somewhere where the incumbent Tory is incredibly safe. There will be no point in any tactical voting so as a staunch remainer I’ll be voting Lib Dem.

Simkin · 29/10/2019 12:56

Remainer. Not a Corbyn fan. My local MP is great though (and a remainer), so I will vote Labour.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 29/10/2019 12:57

If you are voting for Boris, you aren't a remainer. By definition.

Klouise777 · 29/10/2019 12:57

Leaver here, yes there's a few of us around!! Will definitely be voting Conservative. Previously would have considered Labour but not under the indecisive and confusing (imo) Jeremy corbyn I'm afraid

Mistigri · 29/10/2019 13:00

I won't vote.

Disenfranchised Briton (who will in future have fewer voting rights than before the suffragette movement) - despite a 2015 manifesto promise to give me back my vote.

So don't talk to me about mandates and manifesto promises.

It’s the non-Brexit policies that amazes me that people would still vote Labour tbh.

Artesia · 29/10/2019 13:01

Lib Dems should be my natural home, but there’s absolutely no way I could vote for them while they are so insistent on throwing women’s rights under a bus.

Shagged · 29/10/2019 13:02

I'm a remainder who usually votes Labour but I'm not a huge JC fan (but prefer him to Boris)

We have a decent hardworking Labour MP so if it looks like she has the best chance of beating the Tories in my constituency then I will vote for her. It it looks like Lib Dems have a better chance of taking the seat I will vote for them.

Lexplorer · 29/10/2019 13:02

How can life-long Labour voters not vote Labour? Jeremy Corbyn probably won't last long anyway and I fucking hate hearing people diss his looks and clothes. It's refreshing having someone who doesn't spend hours in front of a mirror cultivating a 'look' or spending £££££ on clothes. Boris is a liar, a scumbag, treats women as accessories and is there purely for self-aggrandisement. If we are voting because of the leaders I am gob-smacked that Corbyn is deemed worse than him.

ChicCauldron · 29/10/2019 13:08

Remainer, will vote lib-dem although current Conservative MP has a large majority and is one of the 'spartans' so while I may be hopelessly optimistic that he will be unseated, a massive dent in his majority would be welcomed.

If Labour had got their act together and a definite position on leaving the EU they'd have swept home IMO. Their dawdling will cost them dearly at the ballot box. I'm predicting a hung parliament.

WooMaWang · 29/10/2019 13:08

It's not corbyn's looks that are the issue. It's his utter lack of leadership and the fact the there is a complete absence of meaningful opposition in this country.

Boris is abhorrent. But that doesn't excuse Corbyn.

Yaralie · 29/10/2019 13:09

If you live in the Beaconsfield constituency vote for Dominic Grieve.

If you live in Brighton Pavilion constituency vote for Caroline Lucas.

If you live in Northern Ireland vote for the Alliance Party.

If you live anywhere else you should vote Liberal Democrat.

crumpet · 29/10/2019 13:09

Election is an appalling idea to try and resolve Brexit - it will dilute the issue by adding in all the party political nonsense.

Remainers or leavers would need to coalesce around those candidates most likely to win the seat for that issue but I am skeptical that this will happen.

A much cleaner solution would have been a straight referendum with an election after.

Moomin8 · 29/10/2019 13:10

Labour

MrsTerryPratchett · 29/10/2019 13:12

ABC darling - Anything But Conservative.

The conflict between the parties' stance on women's rights and Brexit is dreadful for Remain Feminists.

lovelyupnorth · 29/10/2019 13:13

Now live in a straight fight labour / Tory and no chance of voting for either. So I think for the first i may just not bother. Or may resort to spoiling my ballet again.

Would love Lib Dem to have a chance but miles off. Where we are moving too is a safe Lib Dem seat. But sadly that’ll be after December.

reginafelangee · 29/10/2019 13:13

I'm a remainer but I will probably vote Tory.

My reasons are that I'm a democrat and I think the result of the referendum should be respected and I'm angry at remain politicians for failing to do that and failing to work for a soft brexit.

Secondly I'm Scottish and I don't want another independence referendum and a Tory government is the best way of making sure the union is safe.

I might be persuaded to vote Lib Dem if I thought they could beat the SNP locally.

Until Corbyn I was a life long Labour voter and member.

MrPan · 29/10/2019 13:13

Well it won't be anorak man aka Steptoe for sure.
Not sure I want to vote Boris either but Boris V Anorak Man means Boris will.probably get my reluctant vote. When push comes to shove my feelings against Anorak Man are stronger than those against Boris so probably Conservatives for me.
What a fucking shit choice though.

It isn't a personality show. It should be about policies. Personalities will not be determining prices and employment.

historysock · 29/10/2019 13:14

Lib Dem. I'm a remainer. And I don't have faith in either Boris or Jeremy for various reasons respectively. I don't have that much faith in Jo Swinson either tbh, so I'm just basing my voting on the one issue that the election is really about.
That said it's pointless as my area has been conservative for ever and I don't see that changing.
I feel absolutely sick about the state we're in, and I'm disenfranchised by all the choices on offer.

MrPan · 29/10/2019 13:15

Erm.. Tory and hard Brexit means the Union is ended. Have you been reading stuff, regina?

theDudesmummy · 29/10/2019 13:15

Lifelong Labour but strong remainer and will vote tactically, in our area that is LD

MrPan · 29/10/2019 13:16

I am Labour but will vote tactically as a Remainer IF needs be.

MrsTerryPratchett · 29/10/2019 13:16

My reasons are that I'm a democrat and I think the result of the referendum should be respected

It was illegally conducted and non-binding. Not a thing was democratic about it.

amymel2016 · 29/10/2019 13:17

Remainer here, previously a life long Tory but will never vote for Johnson. Unfortunately my constituency is hard Tory and anyone else is unlikely to get in, that being said I’m going to vote Labour as they’ve been second for the past few elections.
