Voting intention? : Mon Dec 09, 2019 1:20 pm  

So, after all the bluster and guff, who gets our vote?

I fully expect a lefty dominated result here, but let's see how close we are to the result on Thursday.

Of course it will lean left, it's a RL forum, not an audience known for thinking beyond 'I've always voted Labour, all my family always have. I believe anything I am told to believe.'.

But, fortunately the country aren't all RL followers.

Well I won’t be supporting Boris because he is a .....! Would not even look at the picture of a young lad with pneumonia sleeping in a floor because there were no hospital beds in Leeds hospital for him. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50717606

Just waiting for Laura Kuenssberg to tweet that the little boy is a Labour activist. It's the red blanket that gives him away.

I've only ever voted Conservative and Lib Dem before now but am probably going to vote Labour to ensure the Tory doesn't get a sniff in my constituency. The Conservative party has been taken over by an extremist faction and can't be allowed to continue destroying our country and our politics.

They certainly have. I’d vote for the candidate of any party who are the most likely to beat my conservative mp, in my constituency that’s labour so they get my vote.

I find it difficult to hate Boris.
He's just a bumbling f00king m0ron.
My disdain for the great British public who are about to vote him back into No10 on Thursday, well, that's an altogether different story.

Agree that the way I'll vote is for the party most likely to keep the Tory from winning the seat.
Johnson is utterly dreadful and Brexit is stupid beyond words.
It has to be Labour as the Lib Dems and others have no chance of winning the seat.

Let me guess, you're someone who 'gets' northern working class communities and leave voters and doesn't patronise them or think they can't think for themselves, unlike the metropolitan liberal Labour types who only understand Islington....
