Do You Know Anyone Who Is Changing Their Vote From 2017 ?

[Gromit]

I reckon most people will vote exactly how they did 2 years ago. Everyone I have asked has said they will vote the same way.

On another thread, some people are predicting that the Conservatives will gain 100+ seats. And will have a majority of 45, 60 or even 100.

Do you think that millions of people have switched from Labour to the Conservatives ? I don’t see it myself.

He will pull some Rabbis out of the hat........that will stop agent Cob in his tracks.(or is that twacks). :))

In many areas some people will have no choice other than to change their vote (or to not vote at all) simply because the party they voted for last time is standing aside in an attempt to prevent splitting the pro- or anti-Brexit vote in the constituency.

For example, I voted Lib-Dem last time but, with no Lib-Dem candidate standing in the constituency this time, I'll be voting Green. Similarly many people who voted for the Brexit party last time will now find that there's no Brexit candidate for them to vote for because that party isn't fielding a candidate in order to avoid splitting the pro-Brexit vote.

i haven't changed my mind or vote which i have already posted.

dunno what you've been looking at gromit, lots of people have said they are switching, mostly away from Labour. Only last night I saw some guy in a room of Labour voters ask who was going to actually vote Labour none of them put their hands up. Remoaners from both sides are switching to the Lib Non dems and leavers from Labour are switching to the Tories. Care to make a bet? I think there will be a Tory majority, £20 to charity?

[Maydup]

There will be more tactical voting at this election than ever before, I think. I know a good number of remainers who will switch their votes in the Tory seats around here, and some places where the Lib Dem candidates have withdrawn to join forces with labour in the hope of acheiving a peoples vote.

I predict a hung parliament.

"peoples vote"? we had that in 2016.

I always voted Labour, and if I was going to vote in this election, it would definitely NOT be Labour, but as I'm not voting, it's a moot point (as spath would say) !

[youngmafbog]

Ah, but that one gave the wrong answer TTT. The plebs must keep voting until they give the answer the Metropolitian liberal elite approve of.

I know a couple who are not voting Labour this time. Not going to the tories though. I suspect it depends on what candidates are availabe since a couple I know are voting Brexit party in areas where th Tories would not stand a chance.

Plainly you need to do more when you go to vote than “rock up”
say a name and get a ballot paper. You have to be checked off on the electoral roll to ensure you are eligible to vote. Yes you could pretend to be someone else but unless you know of people who aren’t going to vote or haven’t already voted AND you are prepared to make several visits to various polling stations to vote for the same candidate then it seems pointless. There is no known evidence that this is an issue in GB: it WAS an issue in N Ireland where “personation” was practised to a significant degree, involving fraudulent voter registration eg of deceased persons. So voter ID cards were introduced there.

I’ve always been assiduous in voting. I don’t trust Boris as after ten years of Torys it will be more of the same.
Labour have lost the plot, and Blair buried them deep. Lib Dem no thank you. So I am changing my vote to no vote. As my old gaffer used to say, ‘Let it Rot”.

[TheDevil]

I am voting differently to what I did in 2017.

Ernie Wise would be so proud!

[jourdain2]

Ha ha, Jim F. some welcome light relief. :)
I shall be voting differently because I voted Conservative last time, since they promised to deliver Brexit (granted, all of them save the non-dems, said the same and all have broken that promise) and at the time Mrs. May was sticking to that and I, fool that I am, believed her Lancaster house speech. I was, obviously, sadly disillusioned quite quickly.

It is impossible to vote for Labour if you remember the 70s, as I do.

I was going to vote for the Brexit party (did so in the Euro. elections) but no-one is standing here because we have a Brexiter Tory MP. Trouble is that he voted for Mrs. May's appalling capitulation begging tract at the 3rd time of asking, so I told him he'd lost my vote. Another reason for not voting Tory is that I cannot support Boris's slightly different deal, because down the line I see massive violence reasserting itself in N. Ireland and eventual drip, drip of persuasion that 'the UK doesn't want you, better join with Eire' in a few years to come.
So, I'm a bit stymied and have decided to vote for 'The Yorkshire Party' and send a shot across the bows of my MP (he is rock-solid by the way).

[Zacs-Master]

Me.

[JimF]

Aye thang yew!

[Old_Geezer]

If you mistrust Boris so much more than the other party leaders that you don't vote for him, then you make a return of the hung parliament more likely, which would guarentee more of the same shenanigans that meant this GE was necessary in the first place. Is the hope for yet another GE in January ?

[jourdain2]

O-G My vote won't make any difference - look up E. Yorkshire.

[ToraToraTora]

jourdain, have a day off, can you not see that May/Bojo were both prevented from delivering brexit by the HOQ?
ZM what are you changing from and to?

[JimF]

Don't assume anything, jourdain. We all remember that glorious Thursday evening / Friday morning in 1997 as one "safe" Tory seat after another fell to Labour.

[Zacs-Master]

Cons to Lib Dem, Tora.
