If there was a GE today who would you vote for?

[87SPD]

Bit cheeky but I’m curious to see if there are genuinely any Tory voters out there at all following another disastrous week for Rishi Sunak.

So who would get your vote?

I‘ll go first, I would vote Labour. As much as I would love to hear more on policy and a firm grittiness from them, I do understand that Keir Starmer is doing the best he can, in that he can’t alienate a large proportion of the electorate so needs to toe the line.

How has it been a bad week for Sunak?

He has scrapped some bonkers proposals like the meat and veg tax, and the car share karaoke compulsion. These are the important issue that the Prime Minister should be dealing with and will make life better for all of us.

I would vote the Tories out. Round here that looks like Lib Dem.*

LD and Labour need their heads banging together though. We have a majority of voters on the left of the political spectrum and a perpetual Tory government. We’re just playing into their hands.

*I don’t agree with LDs on self-ID but quite frankly even the Tories are unreliable on this.

Keir Starmer - to get us back into the eu

I would spoil my ballot. There is genuinely no one I could vote for at the moment

Probably conservative, I cannot vote Labour as they seem intent on penalising middle earners.

Yes he has scrapped imaginary policies that didn’t even exist, well done Rishi! And he’s pissed off the manufacturing sector who now have no idea if they’re coming or going with electric cars. Net Zero would CREATE jobs and be a net benefactor to the economy. Well done Rishi. Obviously Labour for me.

I don't think any of the major parties is good enough, so I'm going to vote for a genuinely local candidate, if we have one. If not, then a Monster Raving Looney or the most amusing YouTuber

@jgw1 Because he is stirring up yet more culture wars and sacrificing the environment in the meantime. Not to mention his ludicrous claim to scrap nonexistent taxes on meat and flying 🙄

I would rather be a country with high ambitions on climate change and take action to lead the way. We could create jobs with this mindset instead of alienating manufacturers who haven’t a clue where they stand now!

But do they know what a man is?

Labour. Anyone voting for the Tories now are absolutely insane. They've fucked the country (Brexit) fucked the economy (Brexit and shite fiscal policies), destroyed people's trust in government to an all time low, increase the divide between rich and poor, fucked the NHS, fucked the Police, fucked the schools, and are now fucking up the environment (raw sewage and failing green policies). What have they done to improve the country in the last 13 years?! Only a fool would even consider it.

He has scrapped some bonkers proposals like the meat and veg tax, and the car share karaoke compulsion. These are the important issue that the Prime Minister should be dealing with and will make life better for all of us.

Brilliant response. 🤣

He's so proud of himself for scrapping some bonkers proposals that were never going to become policy to save the British people from them becoming policy.

Oh - policy that only he can implement anyway.

As far as moot points go he's excelled himself this week 🤦🏼‍♀️

Labour obvs.

I'm a middle earner and the Tories have done NOTHING for me in the last 13 years other than make me much much poorer.

This is how I feel really too.

I will vote tactically to oust the Tories. I will keep an eye on polls in my area and vote for whoever has the best chance of doing this.

Conservative. I'm right wing and the idea of the left being in is ghastly.

Oh and Sunaks piece de resistance this week has to be scrapping the very policies he's presented to the ECHR as defence against being sued for not doing enough about climate change 🤦🏼‍♀️

(It's a dubious court case anyway imo but still not his wisest move!)

Lib dem.
A tactical vote . No Labour candidate has a chance where I live.

Oh and not Tory. For a start that means voting For Braverman before it means ending up with this lot as a group!

To be fair the conservatives have significantly increased the personal allowance for income tax and brought in plans for subsidised childcare hours for 1 and 2 year olds, which Labour want to means test...

Whatever party will get the Tories out. They are a disgrace.

Anyone who votes Tory these days is one or a combo of rich, ignorant or bigoted.

Anybody who will get the Tories out. Round these parts it's Lib Dem. Our Tory MP is a total waste of space; a govt whip so always toes the party line.

Can't wait for election night and will be ticking my Tory bingo card as the likes of Rees Mogg, Braverman and IDS hopefully get toppled.

Those were Lib Dem policies brought in during coalition.

Labour or green party.

Not Tory (which here is Labour)
Whenever Sunak does something sane I have to remember that he is only there against the wishes of most of his party, they only have someone half competent by accident
