[Politics] 3 weeks to go

More importantly with three weeks to go:
1. Check you’re registered to vote at your current address.
2. Check you’ve got permissible photo ID to vote.
3. Check where your polling station is, and work out how you’ll get there on the day.
If you’re not sure who to vote for, but want something better than the last decade or so, head to https://tacticalvote.co.uk/ and put in your postcode, it will advise you who the best candidate to vote for is in your constituency.

Like any respectful working class socialist I shall be voting for Labour.

Im in Raabs constituency... It's always been close between the Tories and LibDems, but judging by all the LibDem posters everywhere and the lack of tory ones i reckon the Libs will take it.
I do not tribally vote for any one party... however LibDems for me this time. I have been inundated with leaflets from them. It should be exciting... Pub Thur and the day off work on the Friday. I will try and make a drinking session out of the opening of an envelope lol.

Ah open minded then.....
(I know you are, but it just comes access like)
I have an issue with anyone who follows any party blindly, there is no party that is 100% bob on in alignment with anyone's ideals all the time.
Why tow the party line, I have voted Tory, Labour, Green, and even not bothered several times, if that party at the time appeals to me and my train of thought that is where I will place my cross or not bother.
I will be voting this time and for Labour as it happens, because I like Kier and we need a change, I do hope labour do not implode when they gain power and factions start manoeuvring and coming out of the woodwork.

I dunno, I just find the whole thing so undemocratic.
Ideally, the amount of MPs would be representative of the people overall.
But it's not. I know Labour will win again in my constituency whether I vote or not... I don't want the house to be DOMINATED by Labour MPs either.
I would like to have a few more Green MPs in there, dashed with a few Lib Dems, but I'm very anti EU - so I guess if it boiled down to it, I'd like another Green MP representing me in there?

If cracks and factions start appearing in his party, he could always call a referendum to reunite them. Worked a treat the last time a party leader did it

It’s a pity the previous Lib Dem, Lloyd was voted out in 2019 as he was a decent MP.
B-right-on
Living the dream
I'm undecided. Either I vote for the party that's cocked up the country, wants to send my grandkids off to war in a future compulsory conscription, but has a really good local candidate, worked 15 years for the NHS, 2 kids in local schools, born and raised here, etc ..
Or I vote for some bloke imported from Lambeth, who has a dreadful record as a councillor, who has never lived here, has zero understanding of local issues and is the local representative of the next Govt imo.
Yes there's a couple of others which won't get anywhere.
So, the bigger picture or one that possibly sort out some stuff locally?

As they are “all the same” I shall vote for them all, i would hate for anyone making the effort to stand in my constituency to feel left out

So am I, but have arranged for my husband to proxy vote for me. He & I agree on politics so I can trust him.

Lib Dems for me. I can't bring myself to vote for either of the two 'main' parties.
Ding Dong !
Boy I'm HOT today !
Tory boy here, Tories have been a cluster f@ck for a number of years now.
Labour will be a disaster ( as has been proven in the past and won't change under a Starmer leadership )
God knows where my vote will go.

Lib Dems for me - a tactical vote in a Tory/Lib Dem marginal where Labour would be a 'wasted vote'.
If we had PR, I'd vote Green.
