Who would you vote for in the next general election?

[sjxoxo]

Curious to know how many people would still vote Tory if Liz lands the job. I would think she will lose them the next election..?
Maybe Rishi will run as an independent candidate?

How would you vote in the next General Election? And why?

Labour.
I find myself leaving towards Green more however they won't get in so I need to do what I can to get The Tories out.

Yes they all have problems with the whole Trans BS but at least they're kot actively murdering people.

Which is a pretty depression standard to have.

Tory, obviously

The sheer amount of people who will say they'll vote Tory despite the clusterfuck of the past few years is upsetting me already.

I'd vote for the party most likely to get the tories out. Here it would be a vote for Labour, not that I'm a supporter but I despise the Labour Party less than I despise the Conservatives so 🤷‍♀️

Lib dems as they have the best chance of unseating our conservative candidate in my true blue constituency.

Anyone who isn’t in a blue tie

Tory bastards

Lib dem. I would vote green but they didnt stand in my area last time.

They're all terrible, so I tend to vote for whoever is most likely to unseat the SNP in my constituency.

I'm in Wales so either Plaid or Conservative. Labour have had over 20 years to make a change in Wales and things just keep getting worse not better. And before someone says that they can only do so much with what they are given maybe look at how they are spending it, free prescriptions for all so we are paying a ridiculous amount of money for drugs like paracetamol that can be brought for under a pound in any supermarket. On the face of it free prescriptions in Wales sounds good but tell that to someone who's been in A&E for over 12 hours because they've closed so many emergency departments. There's plenty more examples of how money is wasted in Wales but I'd be here until the next election if I listed them all.

In this area I will vote Lib Dem because Labour stand absolutely no chance - they don't even put forward a candidate sometimes. But generally I'll vote for the person most likely to beat the Tories.
We need a progressive coalition to get them out.

Anyone but Tory

Will be Labour in our constituency

Labour next time for me.

But I'd switch to either Tory or Libdem if they could beat the SNP locally.

Anyone who will ignore Nicola Sturgeon is fine by me.

Labour here as it's a blue vs red seat. Our local elections changed from blue to red so hopefully a sign of things to come.

Anyone who will get the Tories out.
Labour in our area.

Lib Dem. Still won't work one of the safest Tory seats in the Country.

I think I'm becoming a floating voter and find general elections hard.

Our local MP is AMAZING. She does a fantastic job and really cares about the area. I'd vote for her every day BUT she belongs to a party I don't usually vote for. At the last election I really disliked the leader of her party and I just couldn't vote for her if it meant he'd potentially be PM.

Leaders have changed now and I don't feel as strongly against that option... I might be swayed that the leader is ok enough to vote for a great MP.

Still not sure and probably won't be until quite near the time, I'm a floating voter, not so keen on Truss and don't like Sunak, Truss at least kept in her post as foreign secretary but Sunak just abandoned ship at a time of cost of living crisis and was obviously plotting to be PM for ages. Sir Keir Starmer doesn't fill me with much hope and I would like to see a change at the top of the LP, probably Yvette Cooper to think about a vote for them

We'll the poll of polls is probably a more useful answer than a random Mumsnet group.

Based on that Labour would get more votes. 39%.

First past the post means that may not translate to a parliament win and turning over the current Tory majority would be unprecedented I think.

But I think after a winter of pain with 10+% inflation in food and energy bills 4x what they were last winter will widen the gap considerably in labours favour.

Depends if Truss is saying what she thinks the Tory faithful want to hear and then plans to flip flop once in power to appease the public and stop rioting and people really struggling. I doubt she's interested enough to do what it would actually take to make life livable for most.

The painkillers on prescription is a poor excuse. People get prescribed aspirin, as it’s used as a blood thinner, to prevent further strokes and blood clots. They get prescribed paracetamols because they are in chronic pain, and need daily up to the maximum usage. A prescription doesn’t give you a single box of 16 tablets, but hundreds at a time, something you cannot get over the counter, and may go part of the way to explaining why a box of prescription painkillers cost more - because there are usually around 50, 100 or 200 in a box.

I’ve been a Tory member and was excited by Kemi, happy enough with Penny, could live with Rishi but can’t believe they’re about to make Liz Truss PM. I’m in a safe Labour seat so it doesn’t really matter. I find Kier a manager not a leader, and some of his loney left are more bonkers as the right of the Tories. If the LDs were at peace with Brexit and shut up about it (and marginalised a few of their odd balls) I’d be all for it. I really have no idea who to vote for, I feel pretty politically homeless. Quite like the Cameron largely detoxified Tories. Do hope Truss goes left having got the votes of the cranks in the party.

I normally vote Lib Dem. Would vote Labour if I thought they had more chance of winning but Labour/Lib Dems normally get a similar vote share and nobody but Tories ever win here anyway.

Honestly got no idea at this point.

I can't bring myself to vote Tory given the awfulness of what they've done to us the past few years but I also won't vote for a party who can't admit what a woman is and would willingly continue the erosion and trampling of woman's rights.

Feeling properly fucked whatever I do.

Although I live in an ultra safe Tory area so my vote means nothing anyway in this sense.

Liz is lightweight but also, never labour. So god knows. Lib Dems is a waste of a vote.

Lib-dem (previously life-long Labour voter). I'm hoping for a coalition personally.

@AIMummy I’m usually LibDem but on verge of going Lab out of sheer desperation for change! LabLib coalition my preference tbh
