Anyone still thinking of voting tory at the next General Election?

I could (but won't, don't want a ban!) name GN members who will still vote Tory.

So, we’re all either a little or very anti. It’s starting to feel we’re powerless to make a difference until the election. Could be a lot of damage before then. Maybe we should organise gran’s demo? I haven’t demonstrated since the ‘70s but feeling in despair now.

Varian, thanks for reminding us about this.

I have voted Conservative in the past. I too thought Rory Stewart a good MP. I don't live in that constituency any longer though. I now live in another safe Tory seat, but while we've been here I haven't voted for them.

This is my MP David Warburton, accused of sexual harassment by three different women, taking cocaine, and corruption and nepotism involving a very dodgy Russian.

He has not had the decency to resign.

So no, I will not be voting for Warburton or any other sleazy Tory.

I’ve never voted conservative so not sure I should comment - but here goes.
I’m interested in the views of people on gransnet, who are natural conservative voters, in a similar way that I’m a natural left leaning Labour voter.
I imagine germsnshepherdsmum has ideological differences with Truss and Kwarteng. Can people who are as upset as the key financial experts continue to support this awful govt

I've never voted tory and never will. I will never vote LibDem either. I would like to think labour has changed but I'm really not sure.

Voted mostly Tory in General Elections but not since Boris ousted TM. Certainly won’t be voting Tory next time although as I’m in very safe Con seat, it will just be a protest vote anyway.

I'm not so sure that there will be many "safe" Conservative seats after this fiasco and if the leadership stays as it is. I think they're going to have to pull a massive rabbit out of a hat before the next election.

I'm a floating voter, but where I live it is pointless voting Labour or Liberal Democrat it's the old Willy Whitelaw seat of Thatcher fame"Everyone needs a Willy". I liked Rory Stewart he did loads after the bad storms a few years ago I could not tell you the name of the present one.
I certainly will not vote Conservative if the pair we have now are still leading. I wanted Sunak. Who better than a person of colour with a good grasp of the economy? I hope he tries again and does not leave as David Milliband did the labour party.

Yes I will.

I don't suppose you are prepared to talk us through your reasoning here?

Never never never!

Yes I will.

Never have never will .like most of Scotland since 1955 ,labours not doing much better they have a leader of the Scottish branch (fact ..its not registered in Scotlandas a political party)who loudly proclimed no deals with anone in January yer in the May elections they have teamed up with the tories!
Thats how to finish off Labour ,people who voted for SNP actually wanted SNP not a coalition of the unionist parties .But regardless of SNP coming frst the coalition took power and put tories in top jobs in a few Scottish councils.Not a good move Sarwar!

No, I have done in the past. This wilful destruction of our economy is actually scary.

I don’t vote Tory, that’s why I didn’t initially answer the OP.

No, disillusioned, so not going to bother to vote at all.
DH has just come out of a job where he would have benefited from scrapping of 45p tax rate, we won't be receiving our pensions for another 5 years, so being in no man's land and politically homeless, the Tories won't be getting our votes.

It would be better than sticking with this woman who was warned about the effects of her proposals but took no notice. I shall watch her reception and performance - and Kwarteng’s - at the conference with interest.

No, they would have to go to a GE. I think there might be riots if they didn't.

Will you be there, in person?

If anyone is thinking of doing so, I suggest they check how this latest little game has affected their pension.

It depends on how things are at the time and who’s in post. I would like to see the back of Truss and Kwarteng yesterday.

They surely couldn't put us through another "leadership" election.

No, I was a Tory supporter until they turned on Theresa May, never since, and I can’t imagine myself ever voting for them again.

Having spent the last couple of years moaning about Boris, i find myself feeling quite nostalgic for him.

I hate to think where we might end up with this lot.

I must admit that I'm not overwhelmed with responses..

Could mean nobody is still thinking of voting Conservative or..........anyone who is doesn't want to endure the inevitable pile-on and hounding?? I couldn't vote Conservative even though I feel abandoned by Labour.

It wasn't intended as a goady thread, Rosie51.

I'm genuinely curious. I'll try not to say a word, just read the responses.
