I have never voted Conservative, and i will not vote for a party that does not listen.

So how do those that believe that they are not being listened to bring about a change in Government. You have stated that you and many others will never vote Labour again, and I take it that you will never vote Conservative either. Therefore on the basis that this is repeated by other Labour voters, it could be that where Labour hold seats they may loose many of them to whichever party you are other former Labour voters decided to put your 'x' against.

Thereby the number of seats that Labour have is reduced but the Conservative seats hold up, so that there is less change of a change in Government because the opposition is fragmented, and Labour become just one of 3 or 4 opposition parties which are unable to mount a series voice against the Government given that they probably won't agree on many issues.

So your optimism of being able to vote out the decision makers not that we have our country back is not realised.

If i do not want to vote for a party i am not going to vote for another party that i don't want to vote for just to get the party that is in government out, if i don't want to vote for them either. I vote at all elections and for the pas19 years have not voted Labour and never voted Tory...why because i do not want to vote for either.
In short, Tories are in and i am not voting for them, and the main opposition is Labour and i am definitely not voting for them

Well we all can say things we perhaps don't mean and for me UKIP are far too extreme in reality for my vote.....Liberal is a no go.....perhaps what will probably happen is i will become temporarily disillusioned and not vote at all,before eating humble pie and crawling back to Conservatives once May gets things moving in the right direction...

Who have you voted for? Green?

ive notice soulman make quite a few posts over various threads and on various EU issues as to why he considers it a bad institution and that we should leave because of those issues.
did you not notice his input?
cant you be miffed at the labour party and have strong viewpoints on the EU at the same time?
Apologies. I interpreted post 4989 as Soulman drawing a connection between his disappointment with successive UK governments and his decision to vote Leave in the EU election. In fairness to me, it was so chaotically written that a misunderstanding was always possible. I admire the way you kippers stick together though.

Lol. Nice backhanded compliment.

Of course you can - or maybe I should say we can (s I am one such). The vote in the Labour heartlands was crucial in getting a successful Brexit vote; ergo, there are plenty of Labour voters who are no fans of the EU, and are a bit sick of their favoured party's leaders, and particularly the PLP's, slavish devotion to all things Brussels.
Corbyn may well get voted in again, much to the dismay of the darlings in the PLP. Their best ploy would be to find a rival to Corbyn who would come out and endorse the Brexit project, now that it has become a reality. He (or she) might just pick up an awful lot of those Labour heartland grass roots votes.

I have to admit that Labour woman Stuart was very impressive. Shame she is in a sorry party.
