If I can be so rude to ask, how are you planning to vote? [View all]

12th of December folks for a general election. It is all up for grabs, hey. My seat is held by a New Labour MP who decided today to abstain from voting on the 3rd sitting. I really want her team to knock on my door to explain why the Lib Dems have my vote. Apart from their revoke stance, with had me at hello, the more I watch Jo Swinson in the house, the more I rate her. And the fact that my MP is running scared (I think she should be), it is not her fault, she is part of the Corbyn party…. But it means I can not vote for her and she obviously has no confidence in her ability to win. Why vote for someone who thinks she will lose. Self-fulfilling prophecy.

So, the Lib Dems have my vote. I think they may well take London. The MP next door is the tory wanker who manhandled a protester, Chuka is fighting that seat. In mine an immigrant child worker who came for a better life is standing, which will resonant with my neighbours.

Shit is about to get really interesting!

That makes more sense and he could take that Soph0571 Oct 2019 #21
