    Three guys at work. One too cynical, one too lazy and the other says he knows nothing about politics.

    In my constituency they weigh the conservative vote, so mine would only push the majority from 30,000 to 30,001 ( approximately ).

    Not me. Just encourages them. The desire to be a politician should automatically exclude a person from ever becoming one. Especially Conservatives.

    Undecided.
    I don’t really feel any party is offering what I want.
    If I do vote it’ll probably be LD as an anti SNP vote.
    But the downside of that is it makes LD think people approve of their policies, but despite voting remain, I disagree with remoaning.

    Quite a few in my office, they live in that dark place north of Caerphilly collectively kown as ‘The Valleys’. This seems to make them very cynical by nature, also it’s not exactly a swing area – they’re easy to find on the map, it’s the red bits.

    I have to travel back home later on so might not bother as the Tory majority is so large, close to the bottom of this list showing majorities at last election:

    If you’re in an area close to the top then must try and vote for sure!

    Tory majority massive. Nearest challengers (libdems) not standing this time in some shabby deal with the greens. No point really, but will probably head down to do my bit for ‘democracy’.

    My only decision today is cock&balls or steaming turd.

    I can’t face voting for any of the current breed of ****. Whatever the outcome, a moron is in charge.

    so *that* is why you keep banging on and on and on and on about “hard tory” this and that.

    I’d love to vote but I’m not British and I am therefore only allowed to vote in local elections. Which is just as well as I wouldn’t have the first clue who to vote for. My local Conservative MP has suddenly become a populist hypocrite so I’d have probably voted Lib Dem.

    I do think the political landscape needs refreshing, Macron stylee.

    The old parties are obsolete in their own ways.

    Well I for one didn’t realise so many seat were won with such slim majorities in 2015!

    But I’m voting, hoping to overturn the first Tory majority of ~2000 since 1992 here in Southampton Itchen.

    I won’t be.
    Ever – well until their manifesto becomes a legal document.
    When they can spout whatever shit they like to get in and then ignore said shit because there’s nothing you can do about it means I’ll never vote for one of them.

    I do think the political landscape needs refreshing, Macron stylee.

    The FPTP voting system with a single tick in the box discourages anything but a two-party dichotomy, which is why we’ll never get an alternative. (IMHO of course)

    i voted green, for a few reasons, including:

    1) it might help them keep their deposit
    2) it might help ‘certain parties’ lose theirs…

    both great reasons to vote, even if you won’t really affect the headline result…

    Sounds like you’re one of those folks that will actually be ticking the Tory box but doesn’t want to admit it – you know, the ones that through the polling off.

    The bloke I’m working with today is mid-40s , isn’t even registered to vote, has never voted in his life, and has no interest whatsoever in politics. I’ve just asked him his opinion and he said ‘that Jeremy Corbyn seems like a nice bloke. The kind of person you’d want teaching your kids geography’

    Normally I’d be really annoyed about people not voting, but on noting his chilled demeanour, I’m starting to think that he may well have the right idea
