Simple Poll. Was going to just post Lab/Con but thought it might be interesting to see the fragmented voting.

As much as I dislike them you might want to add the SNP. They are the 3rd largest party at Westminster.

Yellow team as Cameron Clegg was not a bad mix.

Probably not at all. Voted conservative in the last few despite being a previous 'red wall' seat. I can't really get onboard with the current Labour crop either.

They can hardly be worse than the current shower.

Whoever can get the sitting Tory out. Unlikely in my area but they're so bad, you never know.

If we have a decent local independent stand in my constituency I think I’d vote for them. We’ve had some with honest intentions stand before and generally working in the structure most in our county want.

So I voted other. Failing that il probably have to vote labour although I’m not overly confident in them either. Tories are just an embarrassing cesspool of morals and self serving idiots. You never think a political party could sink so low until they surprise you again and again or not surprise anymore

I think the real issue is transparency. I think the Tories are worried about the Covid overspend and instead of being transparent about it, have tried to hide the real costs. Now they are monetising anything they can to raise the funds required to offset the deficit. Labour would just blame the inherited shambles, and they have no proper experience for running the country. Tories have, but there is total corruption within.

If you vote Tory you will get more of the same - they don't know any different and are desperate to stay in power.

If you vote Labour they will ruin whatever is left - they don't have enough experience to get us out of this void.

Reform Party has mad offerings but no substance to back them up. This party would get my vote but they are too wishy washy and they need a big hammer to support them. Farage is the new cupboard minister. He hides in the cabinet (filing cabinet) and does not like nor deal with personal confrontation. He has the clout but not the balls. All IMO.

Well, that wasn't the outcome I was expecting.

I guess it must be past bedtime for all the Tory voters.

I'll take any outcome other than Tories. I've got a mild preference for a Labour-led minority government, but at this point I'd take the Greens if it got the Tories out.

I'll do as I have done for the past few years, and just draw a big dick on my ballot paper.

It takes me 5-10 seconds, I'd rather a spoiled ballot than not voting.

Whatever your thoughts are on the electorates, I have my own opinion - which is that none are fit for purpose.

My own views, which I keep to my ballot paper. Vote for whoever you want, that's how it works.

Right now, not a clue.
I kind of envy people who know. As far I can see the best reason to vote Tory is 'better the devil you know', labour 'we're not the Tories' SNP 'Scottish independence at any cost (and not the Tories)', green 'we'll save the environment but you won't be able to enjoy it' and apparently there are some other parties who are some combination of the above.

The only decision I'll have to make is whether to add a spurt to the cock and balls I'll be drawing on my voting slip.

Although a natural Tory by demographic I haven’t wanted anything to do with the bunch of incompetent chancers so not voted in the 2 previous elections. This may have helped them get in so I’ll be voting for whoever has the best chance of evicting them.

I’d agree with that, during Covid we were saying they were overspending and over reacting and someone would have to pay for it, turns out it’s public services paying with their wages.


Maybe a coalition government isn’t a bad shout as it will force them to compromise for the greater good to an extent

Grumps.

The actual party members don't get to see the voting slips.

Very interesting, Pistonheads used to be as safe a Tory 'seat' as there ever was!
