Wasn't sure at the start and no-one convinced me to vote their way. Ended up spoiling my ballot paper. Highlight was the lovely dog I met in the queue for the polling station to open.

Nope - no change.

The Tories are consistent in West Worthing. It's 17 years now and I've never had a Tory knock my door or deliver any literature for any election. The arrogant Bottomley knows he just has to keep his mouth shut and sit at home with his feet up to get elected.

Our electoral system is broken. Only PR can save it now.

I initially thought LD was the tactical option where I am but turns out it is Labour, which is nice :thumbsup:

The party that I was going to vote for decided not to field a candidate here so I've had to decide on another.

Brighton factually.....
Yes and No is that possible

Being in the Brighton Pavilion constituency voting for the overall outcome does not actually make any difference. I will as I have in the past vote Green, however if I did have the option of voting for one of the big two, it would have been Bozza to begin with, but the more I see of him and the more I see of Jezza I think he is a genuine and honest leader and actually I think he would do what he says he wants to do, so I would choose to vote labour if the choice was relevant where I live.

Nope. I started out thinking that there is no way so could vote for either main party and still do. I can’t decide whether to spoil my vote, vote for a party that has no chance of winning or just not bother voting at all. It’s a depressing choice.

I feel exactly the same. I'm seriously considering taking a big black marker pen and drawing a huge cock and balls on my ballot paper. In fact I might take a prit-stick and glue a picture of BoJo on one bollock and a picture of Jezza on the other

I know where your political alliances are, and once upon a time when I was young and immature I was unfortunately and I am embarrassed to say I was there too right with you, and probably some.

I see through people like you now, I know your game on here, I know how you knock, slither and slide on posts, gently winding people up to agree or disagree, or maybe your not that intelligent and I am giving you to much credit, but definitely know your kind and the modus operandi....

But you know what, I have grown up, I saw through the hate, and started to think for myself...

You should give it a go.....

I have to say that I am genuinely surprised that about a third of posters on here have decided, changed their minds or are still undecided since the election campaign started.

I would have expected that figure to have been much lower ???

I wasn't sure whom to vote for and decided this morning. I voted Lib Dem (a wasted vote in Hove). I expect Kyle will get in, which is fine by me. Although I like Kyle, when the election results come out, I couldn't live with the idea that I was one of those who voted for Corbyn.

Obviously I expect the Tories to win overall, which isn't great.

I have never been so disillusioned with politics and politicians in my whole 48 years on this planet... It seems like false promises and utter lies are acceptable now because everyone does it.

In an effort to depose the two lunatics at either side of the asylum I voted Lib Dem for the first time in my life. Our local candidate may look like his face was drawn by a small child but he's actually a good bloke and really does his best for Eastbourne.

I was very near to not voting, but at least my vote cancelled out one of the fervent lunatic's ones.

I still don't know right now, largely because:

However, I'm tending towards:

(although it wouldn't be my first time)

However, this is still an option...

I was very near to not voting

...because having just opened Facebook and Instagram, I'm annoyed at how many people are telling me how important it is to vote, primarily because those people also say something like "I won't tell you who to vote for" before going to tell anyone reading to vote for Labour.

Just feel like the Tories have moved further away from me, my politics are the same

Now a complete cesspit of a party, no moral compass, child like populism with a smattering of toxic English nationalism. Almost everyone that was decent have given up or been forced to find pastures new.

Maybe you need more Tory/Lib Dem/Green/UKIP friends on Facebook and Instagram ?

(and no, I don't know what Instagram is or how it works :wink:)

So you voted Tory then.

No I voted Green. I don't agree with all this tactical voting bllocks. Vote for the party you respect the most and in 2019 it most certainly is NOT the main 3 parties and their awful leaders
