Who are you voting for in 2024 and why?

[canadagoose]

I know there's an election topic but not one solely based around who you're going to vote for. So here's one. I'm probably going to vote SNP to keep Starmer's Labour out, even though that arsewipe Brian Souter is back in the SNP with his manky bigotry. I would otherwise vote Green but I fear I might regret it (besides, they won't win).

[canadagoose]

I assume the spambots are voting or the Jim Davidson fan club is having its turn.

[Senior Baiano]

I was just trolling, i saw that tories had one out of three votes and thought it would be jokes to bump that up to 50%

[Senior Baiano]

Guess i'm the opposite of those people who tell opinion pollsters they won't vote tory then do

[Fambo Number Mive]

Green if no socialist party is standing.

[Kankurette]

I'm guessing 'spoil your ballot' is going to win here.

[copa]

Plaid or spoilt ballot paper.

[DrGreggles]

Not voting for this Labour.
Never voting Tory or Lib.
Green candidate is a twat.

Won't bother unless a worthwhile IND appears.

[shiftwork2]

South Norfolk has been Tory since 1945 despite not being exactly conspicuously wealthy with a particularly egregious foulness having plonked himself there to feed at the trough 23 years ago.  I sound a bit cagey there don't I, well it's Dick Bacon MP.  Famously absent, probably too busy REDACTED children with their drawers down.

I shall spoil my paper yet again.

[McDead]

SNP, but I think they're going to lose out to Labour in a big way in the next GE. Outside nationalist heartlands, it was Salmond and Sturgeon - combined with a lack of credible alternatives - that kept voters coming back to the party. Now they're gone in quasi disgrace, and much as I like Yousaf, I don't see him as the unifying figure the SNP needs right now. Tories are absolutely fucking toast up here, though, so thank Christ for that.

[idunnosomename]

wonder if the voting booth is private enough to do a tribute on a ballot paper without getting arrested

[Goldentony]

not decided yet but when the outcome happens ill just lie and say the option most people are fine with like usual

[non capisco]

Genuinely dunno for the first time in my life. Voted Labour all my life (although only with anything approaching enthusiasm when Corbyn was leader) and obviously really don't want to cast my vote for them under Starmer but my old safe Labour constituency Lewisham West & Penge has now been abolished, lumped in with nearby Beckenham and become ultra-marginal (Beckenham have had the same independent ex-Tory MP win for the last fourteen years and were blue before him since the 1950s) so looks like I might fucking have to after all to do my bit to kick the incumbent scum out.

Oh yeah, our Labour candidate for 2024 is Sue Gray's son Liam Conlon who beat the CEO of Medical Aid for Palestinians Melanie Ward by eight votes. So the son of Starmer's chief of staff is my option to vote against the Tories in a seat that might well go to them, alright cheers. My decision was so much easier when I assumed it would just be Ellie Reeves in the old safe Labour seat again, was just gonna vote either Green or whatever no chance socialist party candidate may have been standing. Really dunno now. Am I really gonna be able to bring myself to vote for Starmer? I doubt it but if not and my new constituency goes Tory which is pretty likely then....eeeeesh.

To paraphrase the Beastie Boys it's 2024 and no one to vote for.

[Better Midlands]

Whichever candidate https://stopthetories.vote/ throws up for me.

[DelurkedToHelp]

Whichever candidate https://stopthetories.vote/ throws up for me.

So we're also showing up to make sure the next government understands that we want Proportional Representation.

Nothing will say "we want PR!" more than electing a majority Labour government that doesn't support PR.

Also, what exactly are the donations that website asks for spent on? I've never heard of stopthetories.vote before today, nor "Forward Democracy"?

[idunnosomename]

holy lol as if the Sue Gray stanning couldn't get any weirder. she's clearly a massively dodgy spook, built up as a big girlboss with Partygate and taking down Bunter

Forward Democracy appears to be a limited company with one listed officer, Thomas Leo De Grunwald.  I would not be inclined to take advice from an unknown website or company on who to vote for.  Nor would I send them my money.

[dontpaintyourteeth]

reminds me of that stop brexit bullshit from last time that suggested i vote lib dem in a constituency where they'd finished a distant third in the previous two elections

[dontpaintyourteeth]

as if i would ever let some dodgy fuckin website tell me how to vote


anyway what do you reckon i should do next time cookdandbombd

[Mrgeebus]

Labour, cause it's the only real option in my constituency. They're the least bad option.

[Buelligan]

as if i would ever let some dodgy fuckin website tell me how to vote

MEEP... MEEP... MEEP... Prolly vote Starmer's Lib Dems, seems safest... MEEP...  Or HITLER.... Yeeees.... ever thought about a really exiting new direction that somehow feels completely familiar..? MEEP...

[idunnosomename]

vote baby hitler

[Buelligan]

Hang on, the machine's still working... look at what would happen... MEEP... all you people abstaining... MEEP... MEEP... if you changed your votes to GREEN... YES!




MEEP...
maybe some of you Labour voters, too! 

[ZoyzaSorris]

Probably Green even though the Corbyn years showed them to be a useless bunch of shits too. Not going Labour again for the foreseeable future or probably ever that's for sure. Safe Labour seat anyway. Once drunkenly hugged the MP goodbye at the pub (she was also half-cut). She's useless though.

[king_tubby]

Green. As the Green candidate explained to me last time 'I'm not going to beat Labour, I'm here to shit them up about being less useless'.

[jobotic]

Dunno. If there's a Green candidate probably them. I know some of the Labour councillors. There's a couple who if they were standing as MPs I'd vote for. There's an awful lot that I wouldn't touch with a bargepole. If I was a few doors down I'd be in the constituency that one of the most loathsome right-wing Starmer fanboys is standing in. The one standing here is a bit of an unknown quantity so if I get to speak to her I will and see what she says.

You have to think though that in most cases if they are standing it's because the Evans and Akehursts approve of them and therefore they don't deserve anyone's vote.

[jamiefairlie]

Green. As the Green candidate explained to me last time 'I'm not going to beat Labour, I'm here to shit them up about being less useless'.

He/She's doing a right good job

[Steve Faeces]

I imagine it will be tusc or some other minor left party.

I'm obviously not voting Tory or Lib Dem, and then Labour, I thought maybe I could hold my nose really tightly but the reaction of Kier and the Labour right specifically and the party generally over the ethnic cleansing in Gaza put paid to that.

The Green party strikes me as two parties; an urban socially progressive one that takes votes off Labour and a rural and semi rural one that appeals to Tory and Lib Dems by blocking housing development and generally nimbyism. I'm not keen enough on the former to want to give much backing to the latter.

I'm fine with the nimbyism for as long as cities/towns continue to leave existing property vacant, or give endless permissions for even more student flats. Address those issues first before demanding shittily built new estates be built on the green belt but there's probably not enough money in that for councillors, Labour ones included.
