Same here Calendargirl. My vote in a GE will make absolutely no difference. The Conservatives will win here and claim the constituency wants to leave, even though nearly half voted to remain in the referendum. A GE is not the answer!

I would vote for whoever I feel will get Brexit delivered.
I live in a very safe Conservative seat area, so I think they will get in whatever.

Just seen this on Peston's Twitter: twitter.com/Peston/status/1188410703599886338

Apparently most people want the GE after a referendum

My main focus would be on how the country is run over the next five years.

I would never vote Tory, but don’t feel inclined to support any of the other options either. Feeling very disillusioned at the moment.

I will vote for whichever party will oust our MP, he is a sycophant who tweets utter twaddle!

I think it largely depends upon whether we have a confirmatory referendum beforehand. If we have a GE as things stand both main parties will try to outdo each other with bribes, they have already started. This would make the GE about far more than Brexit and settle nothing.

I would vote tactically if I thought it would make a difference but I think our current, extremely good, Labour MP won't have any problem with being re-elected. Though maybe with a reduced majority...

There will be an awful lot of wasted votes. I have yet to make up my mind.

Definitely not Tory! Probably Lib Dem.

Probably Labour; could never vote Tory. Just wish Jeremy Corbyn would step down - he seems to be a really gentle, principled man, who generally doesn't partake in name calling and nastiness, but he doesn't come across as a leader and lacks any charisma. I fear his leadership may cost the Labour party votes; in my opinion, Keir Starmer would make a much better leader.

I'm with NannyJan. I could not vote for the current Conservative Party nor, sadly, could I vote for my current MP. I'm not sure but I think it could be Green or Liberal but I would need to here more about there programme for the country not just Brexit. Labour could interest me but again lots of clarification needed.

I will vote for our excellent constituency MP, they are involved with lots of things locally and get things sorted/done.
They are Conservative.

NannyJan53 Sun 27-Oct-19 08:41:30

Definitely not the Tories!

DillytheGardener Sun 27-Oct-19 08:37:40

I’m torn between Lib Dem and labour. After voting leave I’ve changed my mind and would like Brexit to be stopped. So which ever party looks like they have the best chance to do this I’ll vote for.

How would you vote or, not knowing at this point what the two main parties will offer, what would affect how you vote? Does the Withdrawal Agreement matter most or is the Political Declaration your important bit, or how the country will be run for the next five years?
