I cannot personally vote as I have lived overseas for too long. Who would you vote for and why?

Corbyn is totally and utterly useless.

that only leaves Lib Dems and, please God, a Remain Alliance.

I would vote for my constituency MP as he's a good bloke and gets things done. He happens to be Labour but also happens to be on Corbyn's naughty list, so if he's removed via trigger ballot and replaced with a Corbyn patsy then I'm spoiling my vote.

Tory - arseholes.
Lib Dem - lying, opportinist Tory-lite arseholes, plus the photo of Swinson with Challenor and that I was told to fuck off if I don't like it on Twitter by a lib dem counsellor, 'it' being 'TWAW no debate' bullshit kinda turns me off a bit.

I think the only other parties here are Brexit Party and UKIP - both just no.

I don't understand how anyone can watch what is happening to the NHS and vote Tory again. Sad

Unless an independent candidate stands that's pro-remain the tbh I'll spoil my ballot paper.

I was a long time Labour Party member but I won't vote for them, the Green Party or Lib Dem's.

Why? Attitudes towards women's rights, and and Brexit with extra "points" for labour on anti-semitism.

Labour, because I loathe Johnson more than I loathe Corbyn.
In this constituency Labour came second last time. The Lib Dems were quite a long way behind in third. Our Tory MP has a displeasing tendency to assault women, so it would be good to get rid of him (although that is unlikely - this constituency always returns a Tory).
I'd feel happier voting for the Lib Dems but FPTP means you have to be realistic about who's most likely to beat the bastards.
I used to be active (for Labour) in a neighbouring constituency where the sitting Labour MP is very committed and effective, but I honestly don't think I can do that while Corbyn is still leader.

Whichever party stands the best chance of knocking the Tories out.

Probably Lib Dem in my constituency.

It’s a choice between bad or worse.
I don’t think I could vote for either of them.
So I don’t know.
This is how people like Farage get in. Because in a room of him, BJ and JC, Farage appears to be the most sane of the 3. I can’t I understand how both conservative and labour have ended up with leaders that are so unreasonable and extreme.

My current Labour MP is a good sort so I'd vote for him but I'm not happy with the party at all. But that goes for con, lab, Lib Dem and greens. It isn't like there is a good option for women right now.

I. Would vote Labour because of all their transformative polices. Plus a fantastic green Policy and of course proper funding of our NHS. I joined Labour because of Corbyn as did thousands of others its now the biggest party in Europe. I did not rate Blair a get rich quick politition and all in with Murdock the press baron.

Cannot vote for Corbyn so would vote for Liberals despite being a life time Labour voter. Couldn’t vote Tory while Johnson is leader.

Lib Dem or Green.
I loathe Corbyn and the Tories are responsible for the mess we’re in.

Lib Dem. Although I like my Tory MP, I couldn't vote for him and contribute to giving a Conservative government another seat in parliament. Plus there's a chance the Lib Dems might get back in in my constituency if I did.

And what do you think will happen to it when Corbyn's union masters want pay rises for everyone.

I'm in the political wilderness at the mo, but I'd vote Labour. Hell will freeze over before I'd vote Tory.
