[Withano]

Labour: 22.73%

UKIP: 18.18%
Green: 18.18%
SNP: 13.64%

[Ronald.]

A tough one withano. I'm normally left but I don't think Corbyn is the right man for the job. I'm cautious of split voting on the left, although I did vote Plaid last time. R.

[Braden]

The Green Party.

I became a member after the EU Referendum. I was always a Corbyn-supporter, but I wasn't fond of the way he handled brexit. The disarray within the Labour party itself is also cause for concern. In general I support The Green Party's ideologies, and believe its left-wing agenda is what suits my values best.

The only way I would switch my vote is if there are reports in polls that Labour may be close to victory, which I know is not likely to happen.

[jaxie]

I can't really answer at this point, I'd have to see the policies etc but I don't think I can vote Labour and I know I can't vote Lib Dem. I used to quite like the Greens but they are pro EU so, no.

[Cal.]

Green.

[Jøsh]

The Green Party

[Braden]

This would be my second time voting. Will someone remind me and break down the format of General Election voting?

You vote locally (for which I could vote up to 3 times in my constituency), and then have 'the general one' so to speak? Is that correct for this instance?

[smudgie]

Tory.
Of course.:laugh:

[Kazanne]

Conservatives again.

[Withano]

I think I'll vote Labour.
I will have to watch the debates though, and work out what two parties my constituency are leaning towards.

[Kizzy]

Labour

[Brillopad]

Conservatives - they are our only saviour. Corbyn will ruin this country because his ideology supersedes his practical thinking and therefore his ability to do the job for the Best interests of British citizens.

[RichardG]

conservatives

i'd rather not have corbyn try and negotiate his way through brexit

[joeysteele]

Labour, not a chance at all I'd vote for this heartless hardline PM and most of her uncompromising govt.
No way would I ever vote for this truly vile Conservative set up.

:clap1: :clap1: :clap1:

[Ronald.]

I'm completely undecided. I don't think i'll be able to vote Labour this time. The debates will decide it for me I think. R.

[Jack_]

Labour, but if I get wind that the Greens are polling well in my constituency (they came third last time I believe) I'll vote for them. Can't see it happening though.

[Cherie]

will wait and see the policies although policies are not always adhered too, I probably won't vote for any of the main parties.

[Northern Monkey]

I don't think it matters who you vote for.Tories are going to absolutely destroy Labour.

There isn't a party i can in good conscience vote for so i'm not voting.

[Kazanne]

In do feel sorry for Corbyn,it must be hard to have so many detractors,he doesn't seem so bad,I just don't know enough about him although I should, he went to our local grammar school, who knows he may turn it round.

What a foul forum. sick sick people

Converatives FTW!!!

[Jamie89]

Labour or Green, most likely Green but I'm not decided yet

[Withano]

Top comments on UKIPs facebook page are mostly apologies for people wanting to jump ship to Tories, thought this might have been the case.

[Tom4784]

Labour is really the only option.

Voting for the Tories if you're middle or working class is foolishness.

[Reg_Holdsworth_Fan]

Anyone but the CONservatives

[Black Dagger]

Labour. **** the Tories. Scum party with scummier policies.

[Northern Monkey]

Bull ****, only people who vote labour are benefit scum.

you on benefits?

That's not really fair.Labeling a whole section of the voting public as benefits scum.
It's not an easy choice for alot of people.Yes Labour are a mess and i won't vote for them with Corbyn,McDonell and Abbott at the helm but many myself included will never vote Tory due to how harsh they are on the vulnerable people in the country and the working class.Bedroom tax and targeting the disabled etc.

I think this is where I'm at right now. R.

[Scarlett.]

Labour
They probably wont win, but we can at least take a few seats from them, or else they're going to have unlimited power. I say to everyone who is undecided, vote wisely, take as many seats from the Tories as we can, at this point it's the best we can hope for.

[Shaun]

Lib Dem. Labour have as much chance in our seat as the SNP.

[DemolitionRed]

Labour, but if I get wind that the Greens are polling well in my constituency (they came third last time I believe) I'll vote for them. Can't see it happening though.

Snap!

[Brother Leon]

Labour. Corbyn is still better than Trump's Puppy May so I'm not even fussed about him.

[Denver]

Labour currently trying holds my seat but UKIP were just behind.

I don't want Corbin in charge he has no idea what he is doing

[user104658]

Voting for the Tories if you're middle or working class is foolishness.

And yet they will extend their majority. Piggies lining up for the slaughter.

[user104658]

One day you'll realize the terrifying truth; none of them do.

Almost 7 billion people hurtling through space on a little rock, and every last one... winging it.

[joeysteele]

A long time ago it was believed a massive vote of confidence for Winston Churchill was certain.
The voters weary from the war sent him packing in a big way, astonishing near all by getting behind Labour.
Trusting Labour and Attlee to start rebuilding Britain following the war.

If all voters who hate this govt.even only a tenth of what I do,also if those who didn't vote in the EU referendum who may have voted remain,vote in this election,then just 'possibly' another unexpected shock could be the result.

Politics is all over the place these last few years, banana skins can line all streets and alleys on the campaign trail.
If the nasty divisions of the referendum campaign surface too again,which they more than likely will.
Then who knows despite all the polling at this precise moment in time.

She has also again shown by calling this election,that no matter how strong or how often she says anything,her word is near totally meaningless.

[Loukas]

Labour - Hands Down!

I think this also, if those people who didn't vote in the referendum and who have been very vocal about it since actually go out and vote who knows what will happen, apathy is a problem and letting other people vote for you, or saying your vote won't count for anything anyway, 4% is what took us over the line into Brexit, if you do nothing else this year, vote regardess of whether you think it will make a difference, at least you can say you tried.

[Denver]

I think Labour need to sack Corbin of now so they stand a chance

[Firewire]

Labour!

Get Tezza Out! /BBmob

[Withano]

I dont mind Corbyn at all, especially compared to other party leaders

Absolutely.
This could well backfire on Theresa May,if people who really want this shower out ensure they don't split the opposition votes to her.

[Ronald.]

I find it fascinating how few welsh people are actually interested in plaid. I think even in Wales by some, they're viewed as a bit of a joke party. At least from my experiences over the years of talking politics with my fellow welsh. R.

[Wizard.]

Conservatives - and all Labour supporters should do the same.

Theresa May made a mistake calling this GE and I'll tell you why. If she had stuck to the plan of leaving the GE until 2020 then she would have a victorious sweep against Corbyn and secured a Conservative government until 2025. Now when she wins this GE in May, the Labour Party gain a new leader, and IF this leader is respectable to the electorate and May stuffs up Brexit, Labour will win the 2020 election. Which is annoying for me as a Tory but all your Reds should jump on this band wagon.

That has occurred to me too, actually... I've started to wonder if what people are voting for, rather than ANY ideology, is simply "against the grain"... across all of Western politics lately.


Lab/Lib coalition was strongly expected...
We got a Tory majority and Scotland voting SNP across the board.


Remain was even more strongly expected...
We got Brexit


Clinton had it in the bag, said all of the commentators and the bookies...
Trump triumphs.



One might wonder... are people simply looking at "what is expected to happen" and voting the opposite way to upset the apple cart? Has the public fallen in love with the underdog result?

Tories are going to be firm bookies favourite to win this GE and remain in power... so, might the smart money be on the exact opposite? Worth considering :shrug:.

[reece(:]

Labour

[the truth]

this will be a landslide tory win and UKIP gains

half agree...though I doubt labour will ever win an election for decades to come......theyd need to flush every trace of the stinking new labour and the disastrous corbynites downt he toilet and start from scratch....they need a john smith, but where is he/she?

[Withano]

and UKIP gains

Can you explain your logic here? They got 1 seat and 13% last time. I'd imagine both of these figures will decrease.. where do you think their gain will be?

Nearly all of the top comments on their facebook page suggest that UKIP supporters arent voting UKIP

Agree with this, no one anti-Tory should be particularly bothered by this news. We had several years left of the current term, anyway, and a Tory win at the next GE is pretty much a dead cert whether it's 2017 or 2020. This way we have Tories until at least 2022... but the way things stood before, it was 2025.

2022 is a much more realistic timeframe for a viable alternative to be put together, IMO.


...also, is it just me, or are these dates starting to sound awfully futuristic? How can we be talking about 2025 :worry:. That's like some sci-fi **** right there.

i would rather have a mackem avatar than vote tory

I'll still be too young for UK-wide elections but I'll be asking all of my friends to vote for the SNP and Miss Nikki Sturgeon! :clap1:

Alot of that vote will go Lib Dem though who actually want a second referendum.

[MTVN]

Everything about Corbyn's Labour party repels me. I have a lot of sympathy for the Lib Dems and I look forward to their resurgence as a parliamentary force but I can't back their stance on Brexit (even though I voted Remain) which is what their campaign will be centred around. I'm about 90% sure I'll be voting Conservative then but I have no real enthusiasm for this election.

[Kizzy]

The forum is favouring Labour.. This pleases me :)

[y.winter]

I can't vote, so I'm just going sit here and watch everything getting messy

probably Labour. idk yet but i'm 100% not voting for UKIP.

[Lostie!]

Labour. Would vote Green if they had a fraction of a chance though.

Every poll on Twitter says Labour would win too, but then again it's not 'popular' to vote Tory despite the fact that people still will and they will win :)

Me too :( Hopefully they can keep that Brighton seat though

hear hear...................above i wrote.........'never would vote tory'

voting UKIP is even more unlikely.....................offer me £1000 to do so
and i still would not

...............if offered £million.............i might think about it

Mark L

[Livia]

Me too :( Hopefully they can keep that Brighton seat though

I take it you don't live in Brighton Reece?

Conservative for me, my local MP is a really good constituency MP and he's done brilliant work on the Public Accounts Committee, particularly when hauling bankers over the coals.
