stuie Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) Obviously, we're probably a little more left-leaning than a random section of the population but I thought it might be interesting to see how we all voted. If you've been and voted, where did you put your X? Edited December 12, 2019 by stuie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodWillOut Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I'll be worse off under labour, no I don't earn over £80k but I'm a business owner which will mean a rise in dividend tax and corporation tax, however I have to think of my children and their opportunities in life and the services available to them. Because of this, I voted labour. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Libs. Not in a marginal seat unfortunately, but they're the closest we'll have. Comparing the tactical sites there's no clear agreement, 50/50 split between advising Libs or Lab to out the Tories. Libs will be most palatable to anyone trying to get them out so I'm on that bandwagon. Time to hold your noses people... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look realistically there are going to be efesters who are tory or even UKIP / Brexit. Stats suggest there have to be. If you're one of them reading this, let's be honest it's not going to be popular around here. I would suggest keeping your head down. Lots of shit will be thrown your way. I won't join in because internet arguments, but I cannot support such a vote or perspective on the world. That is all x 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Labour, was gonna spoil my ballot paper but not worth the risk anymore. Think their current leader will be the reason the Tories get back in again, there's no way to comment that on the ballot though. Think Labour will do well enough again for Corbyn to hang around which won't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt42 Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Surprised to see so many Liberal Democrat’s. All tactical vote yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havors Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 There are only 2 choices. Labour or Lib Dem if its in a Lib/Tory marginal. I wonder if we could get a load of them ignorant Tories to vote Labour if we framed things differently.... like.... "If you want to get rid of those pesky homeless people bugging you for money - vote Labour!" I feel thats the type of attitude a lot of Tory voters have. Frame it as doing something for them and not to help others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LD policies align with my own sensibilities far more than any other party. If I were Labour, I'd vote LD for tactical reasons, as Labour don't have a hope in my constituency.

I thought that when Leave won. And then when they didn't realistically get close last time. Now you wonder if its even too late as despite a lot of Labour's policies being great they'll just be seen as Corbyn's policies. FWIW I don't have anything majorly against the guy but a lot of the issues you read about with people refusing to vote Labour are squarely aimed at his own baggage. Haters gonna hate and all that but you can't help but feel a newer, fresh person up front would only help, a la Tony Blair or David Cameron. It's unfair but its how it works.

I think the difference is this time there's already talk of a couple of his closest allies (McDonnell and Long-Bailey) being touted means conversations have happened. Personally I'd prefer Laura Pidcock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HattersBoy Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Liberals for me, am in a large majority Tory constituency but the previous Tory MP resigned to go independent due to Brexit so hoping that will split the Tory vote and Liberals who won the council vote to sneak in.

Fair point but it may have been interesting to see how many didn't vote, a lot of people are fed up with politicians at the moment and are refusing to vote for any of them. It will be interesting to see what the overall turnout is today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
