[Politics] If there was a general election tomorrow

[Live by the sea]

Unfortunately the competition isn't great and many who earn more than £25k/year believe that a Labour government would be a car crash. Our best leaders have been relatively central irrelevant of the parties they represent so for me Libdems is the best outcome, unfortunately they've not had a strong leader since Clegg

Totally agree - last decent Labour govt was under Blair .

 

[Lenny Rider]

My MP Tim Loughton regardless of the colour of his rosette is a great constituency MP, whatever Boris does doesn’t change that.

Can't vote Tory for as long as *any* of these guys hold major roles. Decided that after the Barnard Castle business. Therefore I have effectively disenfranchised myself, probably for good (or at least until there is a new centre ground party not following Keynesian economic policy but is fiscally conservative and socially liberal).

 

[father_and_son]

I'd vote for the best candidate NOT a party.

However the best candidate will get 3-line whipped by their party leader and so even if your local MP is the dog's, they still invariably vote along party lines for all major issues. Therefore you ARE voting for a party, like it or not.

 

[lawros left foot]

My vote doesn’t count one iota under FPTP.

I have never, and would never vote Tory. None of the current lot inspires me, I would vote, but, I have no idea yet, who for.

But then if an MP votes against the whip for something he believes in, he is called disloyal, and pilloried for it by, well near enough everyone.

It’s either Conservative or LibDems in my district so LibDem.

Ditto

 

[LamieRobertson]

Thankfully there isn’t so I’m giving it zero thought

Last time it was a choice between crap and crap..hence no vote, which is sad given people died for that freedom

 

[Knocky's Nose]

After a lifetime of being towards the Conservative side, I'm going to tactically vote against them. I'll vote for Sally the Seagull if it gets them out.

I absolutely will not be treated like a worthless pleb by the people who rely upon my vote to be entrusted to run this country. Boris and his merry band can party into their own @rseholes.

 

[Postman Pat]

Caroline Lucas wins Brighton Pavilion so doesn't really matter.

A good local MP, but little influence as the only MP from Greens.

 

[Steve Foster]

Living in Caroline Lucas territory I have a wasted vote, however, Labour are unelectable & Lib Dems don’t bother, so it will be Conservative most likely out of default

 

[Icy Gull]

Be interesting to see Starmer decides policy and decisions, he’s had it easy as Capt Hindsight so far.

I find him odious, I could never vote for him to run the country

I’ll abstain if I don’t vote Tory

They might even have to explain how they'll be paid for too

 

[brighton terra]

I would definitely vote Labour, but I’d be far happier doing so if Andy Burnham was party leader!

 

[Shooting Star]

Boris. And if it's not Boris at the helm by then, then Rishi.

 

[Pavilionaire]

If the Tories only ended up winning 50 seats my seat would be one of them, so it would have to be Lib Dem. However, for the first time in my life I would have been prepared to vote tactically with Labour if it meant ousting a Tory. Tactical voting is the only hope we have of ousting this shower of shit and halting the slide into global political oblivion.

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

I’m genuinely curious to hear why people would willingly still vote Tory after the absolute shit show that we’ve witnessed over the last few years.

Flakey libralism , Green fantasists or Sir kneel potty mouth Raynor and the lovely Diane mmmmmmm its a difficult one

I’d take a potty mouth over someone who votes against feeding hungry school kids personally

National polls gives Labour 10 pts lead

Think just keep the nodding dogs nodding and don't sack Boris...
