Why are you voting Labour? - Another election poll

[LimaDelta]

If you aren't, then kindly move along.

[A.J.M]

They are the only party capable of getting rid of the SNP for my area.

No other reason. 100% tactical vote.

I don’t see them being any better than the current useless government.

[Rivenink]

Had enough of the Tories.

I don't see Starmer revolutionising anything. But I do expect to see a reduction in sleaze & corruption, and a Government less concerned about saving "big dog" from internal party coups and more concerned with running the country.

I knew I'd missed an option.

This.

[ARHarh]

What about the option, "not voting for Labour"?

Because I'm only interested in the reasons why people are voting Labour. It would be a fairly meaningless option here.

[anonymous-user]

Where is the "all of the above" option?

[HoHoHo]

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.

Already it's clear that your assumption might need some refining.

Not at all. Hoping Labour will just get on with running the country, some of it will be done well, some will be done badly, and some will probably be a stshow (like the current lot).

Hopefully afterwards Reform can take all the nutjobs who can go wk on about machine gunning small boats, and at some point the Torys might move a little closer to the centre again.

Oh yes, and Matt Hancock - tt

Two reasons.

1. Had enough of the Tories.
2. Tactical voting - they have by far the best chance of beating the SNP in my constituency.

Nope.

I'm just sick of the Tory st show.

Yeah, I think a lot of people will be both those options. The Conservatives got nearly 60% of the vote in my constituency last time round. The latest poll shows Reform in 3rd with 3% and lib dem, green and independant with fk all, so I see a vote for anyone other than labour as a wasted vote.

Sound list. Not just the army that has been trashed by the tories - navy, airforce and security services as well. The defence of the country needs sorting and has rightly been made a priority by Labour.

This. I despise Labour and everything they stand for, but I will gleefully vote for my local candidate if it deposes the comically moronic halfwit the SNP have proposed. I earnestly hope this pattern is repeated across Scotland, and dozens of SNP cretins lose their seats. For those voting Labour because they have had enough of the incompetent Tories, well it's the same in Scotland but replace the word Tories with SNP.

Guess I'll have to own the consequences of Sir Keef Flipflop getting a thumping majority and the keys to No.10. What a time to be alive.

[ScotHill]

SNP out, but if I lived in England I'd probably still vote Labour, because I just can't imagine what the Cons would think they could get away with if given the tacit endorsement of another five years of stfkery. The Rwanda policy in itself stopped me even considering a Tory vote.

Yeah, but apart from that, what have the Romans Tories actually done for us?


The aquaduct?

Nailed it.

Boring and competent will be a huge improvement. Hell, mere incompetence would be a huge improvement.
