Anybody else who doesn't know who to vote for?

Reform for me

I'm going to vote Labour cos I like most of their policies, I'm not keen on Starmer but I think he's been deliberately canny to avoid the awful headlines Corbyn got, they started the NHS so I trust them to fix it and it irks to pay lots for the dental treatment that till the tories got in I got for free. There are so many failures from this gov't, they've taken my tax and given me a worse service and I'm furious about it. Sewage in the rivers is just one example of greed and irresponsibility of the conservatives so I can't wait to be rid of them.

Those of you who are concerned by immigration and transgender issues and have swallowed all the Tory propaganda míght as well vote Tory

At the moment, none of the parties are running a very good campaign, in my opinion. It all seems quite mediocre and half hearted. Perhaps, because the result is a forgone conclusion, they can’t be bothered to get fired up. It’s all very uninspiring to me.

For the first time I probably won’t vote for any of the despicables in any party. Voting for the least bad option is too depressing. I trust none of them one iota.

I like my lib dem candidate, but I've always disliked Ed Davey with his gimmicks and his involment in the PO scandal. So not sure! The Tories are toast and I don't trust Labour, so may well vote Green, but not sure as they say a man can be a woman and there is no such thing as biological sex.

All parties cannot be trusted, they feather their on nests, and we the English people suffer for it.so gawd knows who to vote for.

Never want the Tories again but don't really understand what Labour stand for as they seem fluid. There are limited funds available (if any) and they seem to have a lot of 'promises' with the ubiquitous 'fully costed and funded' standard speak. Yeah ,right. There is also an element of the robotic about them when they speak but I do like Wes Streeting (I think). Really best described as politically homeless.

Well, I hope Labour win the GE but my Conservative MP is actually a very good constituency MP despite the burden of being PM and I shall be voting for him. I haven't voted for him for a while due to his Brexit credentials but I dread the thought of Reform taking away his local support.

I would not vote Conservative, but I don't trust Labour not to open the floodgates to yet more people who really don't like us and want to do us harm. Who to vote for - any ideas?

‘People who don’t like us and want to do us harm’….. wel. That sets the tone….

By the way, I like Champagne and I like Prosecco.
What does that make me?
An alcoholic maybe?

Well, I like Champagne, Prosecco and Pinot Grigio.
I also smoke.

Not sure if that makes me a floating voter or just totally unprincipled lol 🍾🍾

I think we need a change, so I’ll continue not voting Tory, which I haven’t since 1979..

Although as I live in a true blue area, so I’m not sure it will make any difference. I cannot see Labour winning here.

To be honest, I’ve never had a real life discussion about politics with delivery drivers or randoms on buses etc.

My friends and relatives vote all sorts - good for them. Their business.

I was hoping to see Michael Gove defeated, but he’s walked off his own accord.🙄

I think Labour will win, with perhaps the LDs picking up their usual amount of seats.

Exactly Mollygo anyone prepared to lie about something so easily disproved, how can they be trusted on anything?

Take the Green Party... they claim science as their basis for climate change etc but deny it completely when it comes to biological sex. Might as well believe the earth is flat so as not to offend or diminish those who believe that.

It always amazes me that there are people who think if you mention 'A' it means you're not concerned or aware of 'B' 'C' 'D' or the rest of the alphabet. Maybe they're judging us by their own limitations???

Why people are more concerned with gender ideology and a few p more tax when under the Tories tax is at the highest since WW2. Why water quality and the environment aren’t seen as more important beats me.
Do you think anyone is only concerned with one thing?
It’s quite possible to be concerned about gender ideology without being unconcerned about water quality, housing, the environment, education etc. Reading posts on here highlights a variety of posters’ concerns.
One reason I’m concerned about the gender stuff is it involves lying and cheating and expecting others to believe your lie. I know it’s a joke that politicians never give a straight answer, but to expect us to accept outright lies is asking too much. Lie about one thing? How do we know what else they say isn’t a lie?

I haven’t got a dog.
So who should I vote for?

If you find out please let me know 👍

I haven’t got a dog.

I’ve got a whippet so the only party I can possibly vote for is Labour.

I like a nice can of stout after me shift. Feet up on the pouffe, maybe a sneeky puff on a cig or a bag of Doritos

Eh, pass that ciggie over ‘ere zakouma, let me ‘ave a drag.

It was James Callaghans speech at one party conference that persuaded me to join the Labour Party at the time. I’ve never been able to dislike Cameron ( except for when he held up that note saying there’s no money left, because he knew it was just a joke and that was sneaky); ditto John Major.

💯💯💯💯

I haven’t got space for a pony though.

Maybee I think you’ll remember I said

charmless and unconvincing

I didn’t mention charisma.

I think Tony Blair had charm, charisma, and was very convincing. He convinced many of us to vote for him. Margaret Thatcher, love her or hate her, was convincing (I didn’t vote for her, but I can understand why many did.) Theresa May had a certain kind of soundness about her, of course, I think she was a vicar’s daughter. Cameron was certainly charming, but not very convincing. Harold Wilson felt trustworthy, but James Callaghan felt (to me) not very capable. I’ve deliberately avoided mentioning the obvious person as it skews the analysis.

As for Sunak and Starmer, I feel neither has much personality, and neither instills me with confidence. But nor do any of the others!
