I still don't know who to vote for

I'm struggling, reading through the manifestos of all parties and if I could cherry pick there are some from each I can align with, however I dislike Boris and Jeremy and I know I am meant to vote for the party not the person but I just can't see either of them as the best possible choice.

I live in a safe Tory seat area, he's a useless MP. I want my vote to count but I'm really struggling to decide.

I think if you think that the country has been healthy, united and well off these last ten years, then by all means vote Conservative. If you think that the NHS and schools are doing well, that prisons aren't over-crowded, that social services are able to do a good job with enough money, then vote Conservative.

The Tories don’t even believe that there is a need for food banks - they caused the problem but won’t face up to it.

I've come across people at work who genuinely don't believe that there are some people in the U.K. who can't afford to buy food. It's people like them who are the problem.

If you care about schools, hospitals and police you can’t vote for Boris.

My DH is voting for conservatives - he's concerned Labour will put up taxes for us, our income is about 30-40k. I tried pointing out conservatives have been in power the entire time we've been parents, Have the prospects improved for them?
Has our housing situation improved?
Have hospitals improved?
Have schools improved?

I stood in the booth and looked at the candidates
Conservatives - nope
Independent - nope (previously asked for their help when they were conservative MP and was unable to get a conversation)
Green Party- where have you been? I do normally vote green, but this was their time, and theyve completely hidden away

So i voted labour, the only person who actually lived in the constituency.
I dont really want Corbyn as MP but it seems a devil and the deep blue sea.

This is the kind of view many people have. In reality the Conservatives only look after people who earn upwards of £100k so it's a very misguided opinion in my view.
