So in true unscientific test.. which way will the kind folks of the GM forum vote. 1 vote for each irrespective of 16 - 99 yrs old. i have arranged the names in alphabetic order to avoid debate
GM Decides: Which way are you voting

Maybe he realised that no one in their right mind would vote Labour.

As usual due to the terrible FPTP system this all comes down to the marginal seats in the UK. I wonder how many of them voted leave vs. remain.
Having said that, if there is a particular seat that was overwhelmingly remain or leave, but represented by a leave/remain party I guess we could have a few "safe seats" falling.
I live in Swindon North and Conservatives had a 8335 vote majority in the last election and considering the area voted to leave I can't see this seat switching to Labour. If you add up all the votes cast for Lib Dem and Greens and it's a paltry 2820 votes with the other 1564 going to UKIP, so my vote is likely to count for diddly squat

Voted National Health Action Party last time round (they put up a candidate is Jeremy Hunt is my MP). Thinking they will still put up a candidate.
NHAP clocked up >12,000 votes last time - nearly the same as Labour and LibDems combined - with UKIP trailing way behind with 1000 votes. Hunt won by a street >33,000 but thinking they'll lose votes to TBP - and in a strong Remain constituency combined others could get closish to Hunt. But no real chance of unseating Hunt unless all non-Tory/TBP get their act together...and even then.

When I lived in Swindon 'North Swindon' stopped at Moredon and the area north of the railway line was 90% labour.
New Home owner Tory votes to the fore.

Pinehurst, Penhill, Moredon, Walcot, Park North & South..... all great examples of the staunch Labour folk, now looking in horror at the Islington Woke Toffs that have taken over the Party.... could be very close.

There should be a *it doesn't matter as ***** always wins anyway" option.
Anyway, I won't know who to vote for until they tell me what they stand for - and I'm not convinced many of them know that.

Even if LibDem won 200 seats they couldn't form a government so we would be back to chaos again.

This ^^^. I live in Chris Grayling's constituency so a vote for any other candidate will affect the majority but never the result.

Can Grayling organise a pi$$ up in a brewery? What train lines go thru your constituency?

Can any of them? In fairness to him the one time I resorted to writing to him he got the issue sorted.

Having thought about it I'd vote for any party promising to scrap HS2...

As you mention that guy - what has happened to him since BoJo became captain of the good ship Torytanic...haven't heard a thing from him - is it cos he is a disaster walking and couldn't run a whelk stall...as they say...
