So as we are supposedly drawing closer to the next GE, whos box are you putting your mark in?

I thought it would also be interesting to see how many will switch or stay with their current party, and i have split it up to see how the 'spread' will be.

Probably not going to bother, I don’t want any of them.

I think you need “other” box … as I won’t be voting for any of the above

Half on here will be voting reform.

Round here you could put a blue rosette on a donkey and it'd win.

Don't really have a choice except Tory.

Reform will be a waste.

Unfortunately I’m the same. I’m ashamed to say I won’t be voting after everything that was fought for,but I’m less ashamed doing that than I am of the absolute disgrace of all our politicians of all parties over the last 25 years.
Enough is enough.

100% this.

There really needs to be an option on the official ballot for ‘none of the above’, but I suspect that the powers that be wouldn’t like the answer.

Throughout my life I've been a floating voter favouring manifestos & policies to make my voting decision over party allegiances. As it stands there's not much difference between the main parties so I'll either abstain or vote for an independent to at least give them a chance of getting their deposit back. I live in a Labour safe seat where they have a super majority so it won't make any difference anyway.

I recon on the ballot paper the “cock and balls” party will do better this time out, only second to the “C nut” party

Up in Scotland its snp or whoever can beat them so its Conservative for me.

If it wasn't for the snp it would be Labour.

I'll be voting for change. We've hit the nadir.

My constituency has been tory since its inception, but the lib/dems have had some success in the locals. The incumbent MP is invisible, does little/noting for the constituency, although in that she's merely following the example of her predecessor. I assume we'll see something of her as the GE approaches.

At the moment, the only person likely to unseat her is the lib/dem candidate.

As for those who suggest they won't vote, I suspect they will come the day, despite the terrible state of the tory party.

Conservative last time. I sometimes flirt with the idea of Reform and depending on my mood that day it is a possibility but really what the last few years have shown me is that it doesn't matter one little bit who is elected. The people with actual power don't care a jot who is Prime Minister. Democracy is an illusion to keep us distracted. Johnson, Sunak, Starmer and co are front men we can rally behind when they say the right things then rail against when the inevitably disappoint once elected. The idea that swapping blue for red will fix everything when it never has before is barmy.

Nor can it be reformed, even if the Reform party was full of well meaning geniuses with a clear Idea of what they wanted to reform and how, which it isn't, we are still stuck with a system that is rotten and a relationship between individual and state which I want no part of.

The "they're all the same" stance is really just "I can't vote Tory anymore" but without the anger at what a bunch of crooks they've been...
