If we had a an Election before we have a Withdrawal Agreement ...

They do - but the hanging analogy is a good one.

No, they are not puppets, but it’s the constituents who vote them in.

I expect my MP to do what s/he believes to be in the best interests of their constituents and the country.
If we had a referendum on capital punishment , some of my neighbours would vote in favour. I hope my MP would be better informed, more compassionate and be a ‘turncoat’

It is the first duty of an MP never to support any measure which would harm their constituents and the country

MPs are not just puppets who are operated by constituents.

Then it’s up to them to decide if they want to vote these MPs back in, now they know a little more about what Brexit actually means for the UK.

What about areas who voted overwhelmingly for Leave and their MP’s have not supported them? I would class them as Turncoats also.

I have heard the Jacob RM is unpopular and many will not be voting for him. So it could be the end for him.Yes Connie my MP is Liam Fox with a pretty healthy majority but the feeling is could well lose this majority, might get in again but with a much smaller majority. Hoping he doesn't get in especially as this area voted remain. Turncoat

I’d prefer a referendum before an election. I understand many just want to get on with it but I believe as we are three years on and remain divided, a referendum is needed.

I’ll vote for our hard working sitting labour MP. They aren’t a Corbynister, more a trad Labour representative who grew up and brought their own family up, using local schools, doctors and hospitals, standing with us on public services. If we had a momentum type I’m afraid I’d vote either green or libdem, which here wouldn’t achieve anything but let the Tories in

Graces gran, haven't a clue, think it would be a spoilt ballot paper. I don't believe any party is worth a s***. All self serving and all have their own agendas. Jeremy Corbyn has sat on the fence that long his b** must be sore. Boris Johnson - don't trust. Nicola Indyref2 Sturgeon obsessed with her one goal while Scotland falls apart. Jo Swinson- nah. I won't be voting for anyone, but will do a protest vote methinks. They are all as useless as each other.

Unfortunately our MP who has been a superb constituency MP is going to retire at the next election, so not yet sure, but it wont be for the ~Tory party who got us into this dreadful mess.

My concerns are not just about Brexit issues or wider policies, but about the lack of competence and integrity at the top of the current government.

We have a party, a government and a PM who seem to have a reverse Midas touch - everything they touch turns into a disaster or worse still, fools' gold.

I will vote to try to unseat our well-entrenched Tory MP. A Labour vote will not achieve that, but a Lib Dem vote just might.

It sounds as if the LDs have given up on another referendum. I agree we should have confirmed what we wanted first now we have a possible Withdrawal Agreement but it sounds as if party is still coming before country.

DH, DS & DiL will all vote against our MP who previously we would have voted for. We hope we are not alone

I’m in a Tory stronghold, no hope of anyone else getting in they always romp it. However I always vote even though it’s ‘wasted’ really, in hope I suppose! It’s your duty to vote, people died so you could do it, so I do. I don’t think a GE is the way to go, I want another EU one.

I agree Devorgilla. My children are in south Manchester and Newcastle, so their votes will hopefully count.

I'm afraid I disagree about wasted votes. I've voted in every single election since I was eligible, but never voted for the "winning side" . My totally useless Conservative MP has a majority of over 28,000 and nobody else has ever been anywhere close. She's a rabid "leaver", even though the constituency was almost evenly split. If a GE is to be used to gauge feeling about Brexit, almost half of us won't have our voices counted. I'm expecting the majority to be reduced because she really is a waste of space, but unfortunately she's landed a job for life if she wants it and she knows it.

I would prefer a spring election to a winter one but will vote whenever it comes. I will vote Labour as I believe they are more likely to deliver an agenda which will help the many. I have an excellent Labour MP. The key for this election is to vote tactically, so if you are in a marginal where a small number transferring their vote will get in an MP who will do their best to deliver what you want both on Brexit and in society in general, switch your vote to that candidate even if, in normal times, that party would not be your natural choice.
Also, if you have children or grandchildren at University away from their home constituency make sure they register in both places. They can't vote in both places but they should work out where their vote will be most useful to deliver the type of country they want. And, above all, Vote.

Our constituency is fairly high on the list of Labour's target seats so, while I might have considered voting Libdem , I will vote for the Tory incumbent who I like anyway. I would vote for anyone rather than let the current labour party in.

Not that he needs my vote but I'd vote for my local Tory mp who has lived in the constituency his whole life and has huge support in the area.

I would prefer a referendum before another General Election.
I will vote for the Labour party because I believe their commitment to looking after the many , not the few.

I don't know the policies of the Liberal Democrats other than revoking Article 50, which would be good; having seen Jo Swinston's voting record on the 'They work for you' website where she usually voted on matters of social policy with the Tories I believe she is a Tory in a yellow teeshirt.
Some of us haven't forgotten how the Lib Dems renaged on many of their policies when they got into bed with the Tories.

I'm in favour of a referendum before a GE. That way the country could come to a decision one way or another about the EU and then we could get on with voting for the government we'd prefer. In my case definitely not Tory.

I agree Barmey even those of us who live in safe seats can vote and bring down their majority in the hope that it will make them think again. My MP is sitting on a big majority but I think we can at least reduce it and, I hope, get rid of him.

No vote is a wasted vote. Difficult one, would love to vote Labour, JC won't be leader for ever so vote for the party. But in my area it is Tory butseniments have been changing and the Lib Dems have a strong chance of getting in. They have taken over the local council and doing well so the support is there.

Reckon an election will have Lib Democrats in the West Country, and Labour in London, The results will be split thinly over the parties and I can't really see what will be achieved. Believe we need another referendum first.

My vote will make no difference here either. Why the parties standing in opposition to our current MP do not get together to field the one candidate who might stand a chance I do not know! Seems nuts to me. All they do is split the opposition and give us more of the same. They might as well vote for the sitting MP themselves!

I think LP would fare better nationally with a different leader (Kier Starmer) but will vote SNP and my very good MP will be returned.
