Why on earth would I care what Gina Miller has to say.

And no. I would never vote tactically is I was a Remainer or a Leaver

Oh dear lemon

I suggest to those who are considering voting tactically to look at the information Miller is going to post to help them whom to decide who to vote for and suddenly Miller is my guru.

You’ll have to do better than that

My reasons for voting for labour candidate are the same as Whitewavemark's. Labour will almost certainly get in and I do like her a lot I think everybody likes her. If I voted from my heart I'd vote Green candidate if there is one.

Of course I have WWM2 but believe in voting for the MP and Party that you believe is the best, not voting for a Party that you have no interest in.
Is Gina Miller your guru? All she is interested in is stopping Brexit and not getting the LP into power.

I would only vote for my MP If I believed in his/her parties policies regardless of how good a constituent mp they were.

Otherwise you vote them in and help the party that you entirely disagree with

Makes no sense

sheep? There are an awful lot of them about.

Whitewavemark2 Wed 30-Oct-19 08:50:10

Oh lemon that is exactly what we won’t be by voting tactically.

Or perhaps you’ve never given that any thought

lemongrove Wed 30-Oct-19 08:50:09

If you have a good MP hang onto him/her .....they are rare beings.

lemongrove Wed 30-Oct-19 08:48:22

Ooh yes, personally I don’t do anything at all without checking what Gina Miller has to say on the subject!
Don’t be sheep.

grany I am a strong Labour supporter, and as it happens my MP will almost certainly get re-elected. He is a strong remainer. So I will vote Labour.

But if I lived in a seat that was say a marginal between the Lib Dem’s and Tory’s I would not vote for the Labour candidate but for the Lib Dem’s.

To my mind the damage that has been done and will continue to be done to our welfare state, NHS, education etc is immeasurable and must not be allowed to continue.

It is also vital for me that we either remain or leave with a soft deal.

The most important thing is to keep Johnson (who on earth would vote for such an immoral man?) from the premiership.

Thanks Whitewavemark2, I'll look out for your post

Grany Wed 30-Oct-19 08:34:09

In a general election you vote for who you want for PM Its about polices not just Brexit. What is the point of voting tactically not something I would do.

Whitewavemark2 Wed 30-Oct-19 08:13:32

Just that really.

Gina Miller will be advising the best way and who to vote for.

I’ll post it as it comes into notice.
