Posted: 15:54 - 19 Jan 2019 Post subject: General Election - who woud you vote for and why? |
|
|
The Mrs and I were talking about this last night. For the first time in my 30-odd years as a voter, I am struggling. I have always voted Labour in the Generals, Green (or whatever came closet) in the European and for whichever candidate made most sense on issues near me in the Locals.
As it stands, I couldn't bring myself to vote for Labour or Conservative. The Libs are a spent force and the Greens too small to be effective. UKIP has YL and Farage hasn't set up his new party yet. There simply isn't anybody to vote for come the next General Election.
Am I alone in thinking this? ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

Likewise, for me vote either tory or labour, a change in leadership is required.. But who?
Tories: Jeremy Hunt, possibly Michael Gove. Alas both are possibly too poisened, Jeremy Hunt, from his time as health Secretary, and Gove from his stab in the back moments, but, then, perhaps that just makes him more of an honest politician, carrying that out in public !
Labour: Hilary Benn. Too eloquent for labour ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

If Labour got rid of the careerist who stands in my area, and replaced them with someone more in line with JC, it'd be Labour. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

There wont be a general election any time soon because it's a fixed term parliament. The only way there will be one is if 2/3 of parliament vote for one or they lose a confidence vote.
I'd vote for whoever I think is ACTUALLY going to take us out of Europe. I have voted for the conservatives three times now because they had a manifesto commitment to firstly have a referrendum, then to deliver the result of that referrendum. They still haven't delivered and I'm still not confident they are going to.
And I don't mean out in the same way Jeremy means it (as in saying out but delivering the same thing as in). ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Apparently 80% of people voted for parties that said they would deliver Brexit*... it's funny how I don't get that impression from recent goings-on in Parliament
*sky news fact, blame them if it's wrong |

Labour would get my vote.
Doesn't matter that Corbyn is the leader, identity politics is for idiots. The Labour manifesto is vastly better than anything the Tories have offered or attempted over the past 9 years. It has much better financial balance than the Tory offerings, too. I detest the "Labour just want to spend spend spend" accusation. Tory manifesto had far more finanicial holes in it during the last election, but was not scrutinised at all. Every idiot bindly believes that the Tories are the party of fiscal responsiblity, but it's just bollocks.
Brexit isn't a deciding factor either. Basing a vote entirely on Brexit is immensely short sighted. Voting for a party who a few months ago were condemned by the UN for dliberately creating greater inequality and poverty in the 5th largest economy on earth, just because they've dressed themselves up as the 'Brexit' party (and are utterly failing at it), is the perfect example of turkeys voting for christmas. Need to think about more issues than the Brexit elephant when it comes to national politics. |

I just vote for the party with the Fittest Tottie now-a-days.
I've voted for the fittest candidates (IMO) before and look where we are now.
