I'll be voting for a local independent candidate as she impressed me when i spoke to her a couple of weeks ago.
If SDP have a candidate where I live I'll vote for them, can't be voting for either of the main parties.
I've put that I'll vote Labour but, if I'm honest, I'll probably just spoil my ballot. I live in a constituency that is more likely to increase the Tory majority, so it's really pointless voting.
Lib Dems got within 1.5% of the Tories in Cheltenham last time. Could be a worthwhile tactical vote if you want the Tories out.
I will be voting for the candidate who is most likely to unseat the sitting Tory MP in my constituency.
If you live in Cheltenham that is definitely not the case. You would be looking at 1979 the last time the Conservatives got a decent majority there.
Labour or Lib Dem whoever is more like to defeat the Tory incumbent. Edit: I see based on that website that my seat is still likely to stay Tory. Says Therese Coffey will lose Suffolk Coastal where I lived previously. I'll believe it when I see it.
I'm in a red wall constituency, one that until 2017 was a solid Labour seat, so I'm hopeful the incumbent Tory tosser's 11,000 majority will be wiped out.
Yeah - I should have made it clear. I'm in the Tewkesbury constituency, which almost entirely envelopes Cheltenham. The number of people voting Tory has increased every election since 1997 and they currently have a majority of 22,410 (36.6%)!!
Labour but not because I really want to. 5,000 Labour majority where I am, literally all about making sure the corrupt bastards have no chance of taking it.
Safe Tory seat with circa 15000 majority, Labour are the clear #2 and only option of ever ousting them again, so that's where my vote will go.
I can't imagine why anyone would even consider it. "I can't believe a tiger has eaten my face" says man who voted for the "Tigers eating your face" party. If the polls are to be believed 15,000 majority isn't going to a safe seat.
Got it. I live in Cheltenham now and feel pretty hopeful about the Lib Dems chances. Although Tories and Lib Dems got nearly 95% of the vote between them last time so I’m not sure how much more scope there is for tactical voting.
You've got to vote Lib Dem in Cheltenham - if I lived there I certainly would. I don't know who the candidate is likely to be for them, but Nigel Jones and Martin Horwood were decent MPs, Horwood a victim of the Lib Dems going into coalition with the Tories in 2010 (I appreciate how odd that sounds when a Tory got in over him, but it really was the case)
Spoiled ballot or any party that legitimately prioritises the interests of workers. Anyone But Tories is turkeys voting for Christmas logic. Ideally, in the next decade or so, electoral politics will become balkanised by new start up parties eating into the vote share of the big two.
Not voting, but live in a safe Labour/Lib Dem seat. My MP is actually Neil Coyle - who is an utter cretin that Starmer still allowed back into the Party.
