Which party will you vote for at the General Election? ( Anonymous).

I think it would be helpful if the ten people who are going to vote for Reform explain their reasoning, and then be banned.

It'd be interesting to see their reasoning, given I don't expect they want to say it's because they're either a fascist or a racist (or both).

I don't think reason comes into it.

The 'Will not be voting' are also interesting, with luck they are Tories abstaining.

I’m most certainly not one of the ten. I have heard some say they will vote Reform simply to help get the Tories out and to shake up politics. Maybe they are tempted by the tax promises. Voting Reform though can only signal to the Tories that they aren’t right wing enough.

Please….give us PR so that we’re aren’t aligned with the voting systems of Belarus and Russia (that’s not the only reason).

Wow! Some people here are actually going to vote conservative!!! What do they need to do to lose your vote, break in and nick the silver?

What would you do if in your seat it was cp vs reform?

I’d move

I’d move

This sort of movement, hopefully...

Presumably there are other parties on the ballot, it’s just that you believe they have no chance? In that case, I’d vote with my conscience, for the party I’d actually want to win. If it really is the case that there are only the two candidates, I’d spoil my ballot.

The same if it was Hitler, Mussolini or Stalin. Writing ****s in huge block letters across the ballot is always an option, but my favoured choice would be to vote Green so my vote was at least counted on the national voteshare and becomes another small argument for a representative democracy. Nothing would make me vote far-right/fascist. I’d go to jail first.

Too hot to sleep again - had to get up, find the fan and put it on.....

Nothing in the world is going to stop me voting Green.

So, basically, you’re voting Green because you don’t like the summer?

 

[NRG]

You can all puke over the lib dem party political broadcast tonight, i’m lost for words

 

[ff1d1l]

So, basically, you’re voting Green because you don’t like the summer?

And you're not voting green because you're a climate change denier?

 

[zeon]

Being a recycling fanatic since the 1990 s it surprises me that I've never voted green before .Seemed to have voted for
all the other parties at various times except Ukip. Bit nervous to say given there coverage in other threads on here but might go Labour
this time

 

[Wolfmancatsup]

Voted lib dem here, as they are the only ones with a chance to beat the tories, despite Labour putting a leaflet through the door showing a poll that supposedly had Labour above everyone else. Not sure how they came to that conclusion - all other polls for the area show tories and lib dems neck and neck, with Labour way behind.

Yes, but Mussolini would be the lesser of two evils and not voting for him would be a wasted vote and, and there is no alternative, and …..

The very hot summer.

 

[Beobloke]

No, I’m not voting Green because of the ridiculous taxes they are intending to impose on many of us by increasing NI by 6%

You fear a Green majority under FPTP? Seriously?! The whole point of voting Green is to maybe get a couple of environmental voices into the HoC to speak truth to corporate and oligarch power on the government benches. Caroline Lucas had no power at all, yet she is one of the best politicians the UK has ever produced IMO. A lone voice of sanity in the corrupt hellscape of UK politics. She made a difference.

10 votes for the English Nationalists. PFM is more diverse than it pretends to be.

I've encountered quite a few nutters on PFM (no names etc.), but I find it hard to believe that even those are stupid enough to vote Reform.

I presume those ten are just taking the p*ss.

I’ve had to deal with holocaust denying Nazis here before now, plus lots of racists and homophobes. Stupid ignorant racist people exist, many even have sufficient wealth to buy high-end audio. All I can do is to hoof them right off my site as soon as they out themselves as bigots. That said some here are likely trolling.
