Well, the deed is done. Postal vote completed for the chinless wonder Labour candidate. If it keeps the SNP out, and hopefully leads to an emaciated Tory party in 3rd place at Westminster it'll be worth it. What's five years of spiralling taxes and virtue signalling leftism amongst friends? Sir Kneel Flipflop for PM.
I feel dirty. Think I'll take a shower and inspect the contents of a whisky bottle. Ugh.

I’m assuming anyone voting for Labour have been convinced the public sector will have money thrown at them and the NHS for example will suddenly be fixed(take the doctors who have just announced they’re going on strike for 5 days).
Sadly I think they’ll be disappointed.
Some big assumptions there Sadly I think they’ll be disappointed.

Sounds more like invented nonsense than assumptions. But perhaps HoHoHo has some examples of any Labour voter suggesting that's what they think. I've certainly not seen any single person express those views.

Kick tories in face.
Probably gonna cost me loads of money too through CGT increase.
But kicking tories in face more important.
And I say that as a conservative party member.

It's a terribly sad state of affairs when the *whole country are prepared to vote in an ideology that they don't actually agree with just to send a message to the last lot and that the last lot deserve it. king Tories.It's s

And looking at this future (whenever it may be - 1 term, 2 terms, or 3 terms even), I wonder how many people who put their cross in the labour box this time around will deny the fact that they did so........
Been a Tory voter last few spins, I can see why there is massive discontent with them and the party needs a proper slap. However handing a huge majority on a plate to Labour just doesn't sit right with me...could never vote for that shower in a million yrs. They've been rather coy with their manifesto and it looks like they don't feel the need to make any of their bigger plans clear until they're in power such is the confidence in a Tory wipeout...lets see what people think after 5 yrs of them (if we're lucky).

Tactical voting here...it really pains me to vote Labour for oh so many reasons, but up here in Scotland we need to rid ourselves of the SNP scum so Labour gets my vote this time, the SNP MP is only in there by 1300 or so votes so not a lot to swing it.
I'am basically sacrificing my valuable vote for the greater good of Scotland...they better fking appreciate it..!!!

I’m not sure I see it the same. Most people are centre left or centre right and aren’t massively far away from Tory or Labour from a general policy point of view.

People have just prioritised voting based on character after 14 years of incompetence, dishonesty, running down of the country and general low rate behaviour.

Sad state of affairs where by most of us have to vote for people we grossly dislike / parties and policies we don’t believe in just to get a change of government. Just shows what a st show we have really doesn’t it.
cant disagree. I've voted labour twice, lib de once, and Conservative the rest. I cant do that again this time. t show we have really doesn’t it. Sadly, there isnt any party who I could nail my colours to. And with 1 week to go, I still dont know

Problem is, it's extremely rare you get an opportunity to wipe out a political party. But it may just be that a labour supermarjority will give us a chance to kick them in the face next election. Destruction of both of those parties seems a good long term plan to me.I predict that we are going to end up with an awful lot of regret a few years down the line.....

To some extent, any Government is only as good as the strength of its opposition.
I agree that Labour deserves the win, simply to demonstrate a higher level of competence, however I see absolutely no advantage to them having a 200-seat majority. You just know that every backbencher will be calling for action on their pet interest simply because they can claim that they have a huge public mandate.
If the IMF wanted to parachute-in some safe hands to manage the economy then Sunak / Hunt would fit the bill. Its the big majority won by Boris that is at the root of their problems.
The Devil makes work for idle hands etc.

I resent having my voting choice boiling down to a single issue, yet again, is it the sixth time in a row? However Labour has put up a strong candidate in our area, so I've voted for the man who represents the best chance of ejecting the SNP idiot I helped vote in as a vain hope of stopping Brexit.
Apologies for my part in demolishing what little is left of the economy and infrastructure, I don't expect Labour to be anything other than even worse than the existing self serving swines. However, in this instance, risking generational economic disaster is worth it for giving the Yellow Peril a good kicking at the ballot box.
I find it interesting that for so many this election is not about voting for something, but against something else. I'd really like to vote "for" something next time, but they all seem useless.
