[Politics] Has your voting intention changed since the election was called?

[sully]

Yes. I only finally settled on Monday.

It won’t make much difference in Arundel & South Downs but I can but try.

 

[studio150]

Nope.



As for politicians campaigning for my support, I have had lots of leaflets from Labour (none of which mention who the PM would be), some from the Conservatives and one from the Lib Dems. Nothing from the Greens or anyone else. .

Strangely virtually all of the leaflets that have been sent to our address, have been directed to my wife. I can only assume that my profile doesn't fit any of the parties target voter.

What I don't get, and excuse me for being a little bit thick, but the Tories are the only party who want to "do Brexit", yet all the time I am being told on here, and elsewhere, that public opinion has changed and people now want to stay in Europe.

So who the **** exactly are voting for these ***** to give them a raised majority?

Thank you for your time!!!

Latest Poll is:
Remain 54%
Leave 46%

Also:
Conservative 41%
Labour 32%
LibDem 14%
Green 4%
Brexit 4%

So the Remain vote is more fragmented,
meaning with our FPTP system Conservative win more than half the seats

 

[beorhthelm]

ive changed whether i intend to vote at all.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

I’m gonna draw a cock and balls on my vote slip.

 

[Weststander]

Nope.

I have found this whole campaign to be rather pathetic and cringeworthy. Lies countered with more lies. Abject failings of leadership all round. An awful set of candidates to vote for.

As for politicians campaigning for my support, I have had lots of leaflets from Labour (none of which mention who the PM would be), some from the Conservatives and one from the Lib Dems. Nothing from the Greens or anyone else. And as is par for the course, none have knocked on my door yet - I have been of voting age for 35 years now and am still waiting for the first candidate to actually do so. Oh well, at least it will be over soon. Until the next one.

In Brighton Pavilion we’ve had many Green Party leaflet drops, far more than any other party. Probably unnecessary as Lucas will walk it.

The polls I have seen suggest 52:48 in favour of Remain.

But that's what it was the day before the Referendum...

A minority of the electorate - about 41-43%.

You can thank our ridiculous voting system for that. A voting system that will never be changed, because it would require legislation to be passed by one of the two parties that can realistically win an election under the current system. And neither would ever do that as they know it'll make it much harder for them to form majority governments.

Our only hope is a hung Parliament, and that one of the conditions of LibDem supporting Labour is adoption of the STV system of PR.
This may well be in Labour's interest as if SNP get and win a second referendum, then the possibilty of Labour winning Scottish seats (and therefore a majority Government) will have gone.
With Scotland gone the only way of Labour getting into power would be in coalition.

At least your showing up lol. I can't be bothered with any of it now.

The Green Party using scarce resources? [emoji46]. Hope they'll all be recycled.

[Chicken Run]

We've had six weeks or so of people copying and pasting tweets, newspaper excerpts and oh-so-hilarious memes that support their views (whilst simultaneously ignoring those that don't) to try and persuade others to join their side.

Apparently, some politicians have also been campaigning for your support during this same period.

Has it worked?

Has your voting intention changed from where you were in late October?

No.

 

[Perkino]

At the start I was certain Not to vote for Corbyn because he is an awful candidate but Johnson has proved he will lie and push through some crazy ideas. Lib Dems equally have flaws. I think I might have to vote Green as the least worst

 

[KLF]

I was going to vote Green, but the candidate stood down as it's a marginal. So, I was going to vote Labour, but then looked up just how marginal it was. So, will be voting Lib Dem to make sure the Tory doesn't get in here.

Good tactical voting. We need more of this!

Cuts both ways, there’s a misconception that tactical voting is an anti Tory preserve and is new. It’s always gone on in marginals and has de-seated countless MP’s.

 

[whitelion]

No poll category for me.

Would have voted Brexit but candidate stood down by Farage. Can't vote for Johnson or Corbyn and the Independent is a transwoman who is a one issue politician.

Therefore I will go to the polling station and vote for "none of the above with a proviso that I would have voted for the Brexit Party".

 

[Pogue Mahone]

I was always going to vote Labour, and still am. I like Lloyd Russell-Moyle, but more importantly it's him or the Tories.

My vote would have been s tactical anti-Tory vote whoever their main rival was.

 

[BensGrandad]

The latest polls seem to show it will be very tight so the idiots who vote to prevent something ie tactical voting rather than vote for what they want and the party they want may hold the sway. We could be in for more years of frustrated government with a hung parliament again. Some people will never learn.

My vote is designed to get Boris Johnson out of power. Frankly I don’t really care what mess this causes. It will be nothing compared to another five years of a Johnson led government.

I am fairly certain the Tory party will remain in power but I’ll sleep easy at night knowing I used my vote to at least try and get rid of the lying tub of shit.

I think you’ll get what you want though and Boris doesn’t need to order any packing crates for a while yet :-(

 

[oldboyroy]

Foregone conclusion that Tories will win with landslide I think whoever I vote for
