[Politics] Your voting intentions

[TomandJerry]

Since the rise of tactical voting I'm curious what the split would seem to be...

Well, what made you to vote the way you did?

 

[The Clamp]

Luckily a tactical vote in my area is also my vote of choice.

 

[drew]

Normally tactically vote for the LDs as they are historically closest to the incumbent Tories but the polling suggests Labour are actually in with a shout so they got my vote this time.

 

[Simster]

Normally tactically vote anyone but Tory which is usually futile in my constituency.

The irony is that Labour are well placed to actually win here, neck and neck with the Tory. However I'm so disappointed with Labour's position on Europe, I am thinking I might vote LibDem (who were neck and neck with them in 2019 - both a way behind the Tory on 10200-ish votes each)

 

[MJsGhost]

Is a vote to tactically oust the Tories a valid political belief?
(Asking for a friend)

 

[Hotchilidog]

Already voted, will be following the results in France. Hopefully electing the candidate I actually want to win as opposed to a tactical choice.

 

[vegster]

Luckily a tactical vote in my area is also my vote of choice.

Me too, are you still East Worthing and Shoreham ? Could be a momentous and historic day today.

 

[judewri]

Voting tactically Lib Dem but still pointless ! Horsham will be Tory I just know it ! Hope I’m wrong

 

[Bakero]

I've always voted tactically. The system makes doing anything else a waste of time.

 

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

Voting Greens as Kyle has Hove down up - if there was any risk of Tories doing well would vote Labour, nothing against Starmer at all and looking forward to him becoming PM for many years

 

[TomandJerry]

My vote is IN.

Tactically against the Tories.

 

[HangletonGull]

Voting in lewes so will vote Lib Dem’s as it’s a 2 horse race going for a tactical vote

 

[The Clamp]

Me too, are you still East Worthing and Shoreham ? Could be a momentous and historic day today.

Indeed. Could be great.

 

[BBassic]

Luckily for me tactical voting aligns with my politics.

Now, where did I put my red tie?

 

[Motogull]

It was pretty busy at my polling station at kick off this morning.

For the first time ever, my vote might go to the winner. Due to boundary change my place was late with the tactical voting advice.

 

[Bozza]

Indeed. Could be great.

Tom Rutland will win, but he won't be getting my vote.

I just can't support someone parachuted in, with no connection to the area, seemingly with more interest in Westminster than West Sussex.

The largely copy-and-pasted website for his current campaign, from his failed attempt to be the Labour candidate in Wycombe, was the final straw for me.

He won't need my vote to win though, and Labour won't need EWAS to have a stonking great majority in the Commons.

[Politics] - Does it matter where constituency candidates come from?

Liz from Labour bravely made her way up my drive a few evenings ago to ask me about my voting intentions. I say bravely because Henry, my large Labrador, was barking quite ferociously at her whilst I sat on the doorstep dripping with sweat having just completed a run. Henry's a complete softy...

In my seat BOTH

 

[bluenitsuj]

Not Labour

 

[HeaviestTed]

In the new uckfiekd and east grinny ward no one knows who to vote for and it is almost certain Tory anyway so will vote labour. Is a local person.

 

[The Mole]

A bit of both for me. I usually look at who the top two are going to be and choose that way. But I would have probably voted for the party I did. Unfortunately I’ve never lived in a labour/liberal constituency when I could choose based upon their policies.
