General Election 2017

[Giraffe]

Lets get the current political mood of NSC. Who will you be voting for in the general election?

 

[sparkie]

Corbyn - No way.
May - Brexit too hard.

So it's Farron for me, sort of by default.

 

[Goldstone1976]

Can't vote Tory. Can't vote Labour with Corbyn as leader, probably would with Miliband (D). Would never vote UKIP or BNP. Little point voting Green or Lib Dem. Can't not vote.

I'm buggered basically.

 

[pb21]

Living in Brighton Pavilion I’ll be voting Green, anywhere else Lib Dem.

 

[TSB]

No point voting Lib Dem in Hove, so...err. I quite like Peter Kyle but I can't vote to help Corbyn.
Independent, perhaps.

If the GE is ratified of course.

Exactly the same here. I don't see how they can lose as there is just no decent opposition. At all.

 

[Hammer15]

Wish we could set colours for polls. I read this poll all wrong...

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

As a "natural labour voter", which is what I have seen myself as all my life, but one who despairs of the current leadership, and as someone who could not vote conservative any more than I could cut off my own leg with a rusty penknife (with or without Brexit), I will be Lib-Dem for a protest vote, although where I live it has worked in the past.

 

[Colossal Squid]

Whilst nationally this won't change things a jot, at least we should get rid of that odious **** Kirby from Kemptown in what will be one of the few swings from Tory to Labour

 

[Bob!]

Lib Dem as a Pro-europe vote.

 

[Blazing Apostle]

Lib Dem ...get rid of Brexit

There will be loads of people in this situation, and I'm one of them.Ater the Lib Dems joined the Tories in coalition I vowed never ever to vote for them as I had done for tactical purposes.

But as one of the substantial minority opposed to both Tories and Brexit perhaps I'd better think again.

Possibly.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Can't bring myself to vote for a Corbyn lead Labour.
Would NEVER EVER vote Lib Dem after what they did in Lewes, because of Baker and because of Bellotti - NEVER forgive.
Green ? - ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Tory - I'm concerned they will use the result to water down Bexit
UKIP - I'm tempted just to prevent the Tories watering down Brexit
BNP never

I voted UKIP on this poll but it might move to Tory depending what they say during the campaign.

Same for me but in Eastbourne it might make a difference as the incumbent is (a) marginal & (b) a waste of space

 

[Titanic]

Interesting to see how the polls move during the campaign... surely Labour have to produce some sort of positive momentum... it can't be this bad, can it?

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Conservative, for the first time in my life. I think May is doing a decent job and has done the right thing calling an election now.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Caroline Lucas has a decent majority,but how safe is she to hold her seat ?

 

[Audax]

I put undecided, but only because I need to do some research into who (of Lib Dems or Greens) stands a better chance of putting a scare into the Tories in Wealden. Unfortunately, the seat is a massive fresh bruise on the map: Blue, then Purple.

 

[TSB]

She'll be fine. Extended it in the last one. Tories and Labour unpopular in BP.

 

[BensGrandad]

Does it matter as surely it will be a landslide Tory victory and to vote Green anywhere even in Brighton is a complete waste of a vote.
