Nalis Posted 30 June Share Posted 30 June We should probably do another one of these on Thursday anonymised, I'd genuinely be interested in seeing how many people are voting the likes of Reform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westernpark Posted 30 June Share Posted 30 June Leicester West- can’t vote for Kendall, so I will vote Green instead. I did consider the One Leicester party, until they thought Keith Vaz was a legitimate candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalis Posted 30 June Share Posted 30 June (edited) Random question - what's the most random party you've had flyers for? I've had one for Party For Women. Never heard of them before but they are proudly blatant in their anti trans stance. Sad really. Edited 30 June by Nalis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Posted 30 June Share Posted 30 June I've had flyers for Conservative, Labour, Green, Reform and two local Independants - nothing form the Liberal Democrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxondale Posted 30 June Share Posted 30 June I’m LD, buy may well vote Labour tactically. Though mine is a new constituency (Melton & Syston), it’s almost certain to be Conservative, even now. Noticed there is a Rejoin EU candidate on the sheet, so might even vote for him as a mini protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you want Starmer to do in opposition when the Tories have an 80 seat majority? He's pressured them in the Commons, made sure they're held to account for the shit they do and consistently had Labour polling well above where they were at the last General Election. Labour aren't going to win by default, they've worked hard over the last 5 years to expose the Tories and to broaden their appeal so that it's not just a smug holier-than-thou cult of people who think being morally superior to everyone else is more important than getting into power, stopping the Tories doing what the Tories do and undoing some of the damage they've done to our public services. Labour are a party that's incapable of winning by default, the system is literally set up so they can't just win by default, they played a huge part in Johnson's unravelling and they've done remarkably well in the commons to keep the pressure on them in spite of their limited numbers, they've earned the vote of anyone who actually cares about all of the people in the country. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Starmer has had an incredibly difficult job to do. Firstly, he’s had to fend off the far left of the party who - regardless of what you believe in - cannot win a national election. Secondly, he’s had to court the centre (which wins elections) whilst not appearing unpalatable to the Labour red wall voters who all did a 180 and voted Con last time. As a confirmed anti-Brexit fundamentalist, I’m frustrated that the main parties have ignored it during this election cycle, but in Labour’s case, I completely understand why. They need the middle ground and the gamgams. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lfu Posted 30 June Share Posted 30 June The only candidates (or their staffers) I've seen campaigning here are Labour and Lib Dem Unless she's only bothering to pop in to the bits of Cossington/Wymeswold/etc with expensive homes I think the current Tory MP Jane Hunt has gone completely into hiding. I don't think I've ever heard, seen or read about her doing anything useful for the constituency. Current and past Labour candidates have been far more involved with the community in my experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad really. oh yea that's Klu Klux Kellie's bandwagon. they're pure single issue (and that single issue is trans bad) but are frankly hilarious. bunch of sad middle class bastards walking around Lincoln waving spatulas and declaring that the high street is derelict because women can't have penises. which, I'm no city planner but I don't think that's how urban redevelopment works. for reference: I'm only half kidding, one of them did walk around Lincoln with a spatula for their council election campaign: https://x.com/thelincolnite/status/1781070275443831241 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted 30 June Share Posted 30 June I'm probably gonna vote green. not an inspiring bunch of candidates, the usual labour, lib Dems, tories, reform. one independent I've seen nothing from, some weirdos called the Yorkshire party who want a devolved parliament in Leeds, and the greens.
