Your voting intentions

[surveyor]

I have no idea who I will vote for.

I'm naturally Conservative, but certainly not hardened far right. I'm pretty disgusted by them, and do not believe Rishi has a clue of 'ordinary life'. I'm not saying policy should be designed around this, but the impact of policy should be understood.

On top of this the Conservative party is remarkably interfering with the market within I work, and common sense does not come into it. Perhaps it will with Labour.

Our local conservative MP actually is a good constitutionally honest MP.

I still don't understand Labour policy (is there any?).

Shrugs shoulders. it's a mess.

Regardless of the rest of that nutty feed, Keir Starmer is saying there that he'll put a non-UK based organisation (collection of billionaires and political strategists) over the needs of the UK and its Parliament.

THAT is not OK!

Would be handy if they included the question? I find context to be a really useful thing.

I will assume it's along the lines of - do you prefer the nibbles, drinkies, gift bags and conversation in Westminster, or Davos?

The absolute state of that guys twitter feed.

What is your view on what Kier said?

Id prefer to see the context if there is more, but my view?

Meh.

THAT is not OK!

What do you mean he’ll ‘put’ it before, in what context?

His loyalty, as have other world leaders.

Westminster is too constrained… Once you get out of Westminster, whether it’s Davos or anywhere else, you actually engage with people that you can see working with in the future. Westminster is just a tribal shouting place.

Counted.
Ignored.
Destroyed (like every other ballot paper).

Pointless.

Still waiting to hear what the actual question was.

The only lib dem of any gravitas was Charles Kennedy. And he was a massive alcoholic.

A recovering one (with the help of fellow addict Alastair Campbell), until the death of his father plunged him back into depression which was then exploited by Ian Blackford and his campaign group in 2015.

What that fat bd did to Kennedy will never be forgotten.

I'll not be voting. I can't vote Conservative after the mess they've made, can't bring myself to vote Labour, none of the others appeal either and, given I live in one of the safest Tory seats, it wouldn't make any difference anyway.

What will be, will obviously be but not in my name...

Not wishing to pick on this poster specifically, but I'll never understand this rather apathetic view.

If you live in a safe seat and the incumbent isn't to your persuasion then you can all collectively just lap it up or you can do something about it collectively.

Even if you don't get them out, a much reduced majority hurts them and focuses their thinking. Next time out that reduced majority might be overcome. Rome wasn't built in a day.

I'll be voting Labour because the Tories are a busted flush, they're in the downward slope of their popularity curve and really seem to have run out of ideas as to how to effectively govern the country.

It's no surprise that 66 Tories have decided not to seek re-election. Some are genuinely retiring, but many are like rats deserting the sinking ship because they know the writing is on the wall. Several of them will undoubtedly go into lucrative commercial jobs that they've networked into through being an MP, so I don't think too many of them will be that upset.

Whoever is best placed to get rid of the snp for my area.

Same here, in my area it'll have to be Conservative. I really don't want to encourage them and let them think they've got my support, but it's by far the lesser of two evils.
Almost everyone I've spoken to is planning to vote for the "least worse option" rather than their natural preference...a terrible state for a nation to be in.

My MP is Liz Truss with a big majority. Suggestions as to what I should be doing on July 4th welcomed...

I think I know who Starmer will be loyal to, but then Sunak is no better.

Just like the vote you cast for whichever part of the Omniparty you're supporting then.

Pointless.

The personage who posted it clearly wants to believe it's who he'll take his orders off when it's time to start feeding his population into a mincer.

He might be referring to the decor, the scotch eggs or the quality of nannite mind control and fifth dimensional lizard engagement.

Enter Ian Blackford, as SNP prospective candidate in January 2015. Blackford, a merchant banker for Deutsche Bank, re-cast himself, entirely unconvincingly, as a Skye crofter. He immediately adopted the unsubtle dog-whistle campaign hashtag: ‘Where’s Charlie?’ It wouldn’t have required much to find exactly where Charlie was, both physically and mentally. He was mourning the death of beloved parents; grieving the early demise of his best friend; fighting a horrible disease; struggling to hold a family together.

As soon as Blackford launched the ‘Where’s Charlie?’ slogan, I wrote that it seemed ‘a clear attempt to personalise the contest on grounds which are undesirable and unnecessary. Mr Kennedy’s fragility is scarcely a state secret. On top of that, he is coping with a string of tragedies and losses.’

In response to the whistle, Blackford’s rottweilers were out the traps. One of his closest associates, Brian Smith, convener of the SNP’s Skye branch, wondered online if Charles, ‘has “a problem” that stops you going to Westminster?’ Up to election day, Smith bombarded Charles’s social media sites with abuse, describing him as ‘our own arch-Quisling’.

Smith was soon one among many Cybernats. One of Charles’s constituency staff had to work full-time on deleting social media abuse. There were vile anonymous messages attached to Charles’s car and pushed through his letter-box. When he returned home after the confirmation of his defeat, the bins had been emptied across his driveway. The level of sheer cruelty was beyond comprehension – and all totally unnecessary in terms of the election’s outcome.

Worth reading the whole article. The nickname of Scottish Nasty Party is apt in this case.

I could have written this almost word for word for my thoughts as well. I am centre right, feels like no one is there for me to vote for. Local MP has been great whenever I have emailed etc and he is Conservative, but I don't want to encourage the lot above him, he has done nothing for me to vote against him. I will probably vote Labour because it needs to be done but I doubt my vote will swing the needle.
