Who will you be voting for in the General Election and why?

Do you think Labour will be able to close the gap and maybe win?

It seems like it's almost certainly going to come down to The Conservatives and Labour at this point, but if there was an equal chance of winning across the board for all parties, which party would you want to win?

Labour,

University should be free (I'm not there atm because growing up in a low income family surrounded by debt meant that I don't really want 40k of debt straight after finishing studies)

NHS - I don't want the NHS to be privatised and I believe the NHS needs more funding.

I prefer renewables over shale gas extraction.

plus I trust Jeremy Corbyn a helluva lot more than Theresa May.

(basically I'm a lefty) :^)

The only really major problem I have with Labour is to do with Trident, and it's not so much Labour as it is Jeremy Corbyn.
Labour put the renewal of Trident in their manifesto, which is brilliant, but Jeremy continuously refuses to say that he supports it. When he talks about Trident or dodges answering the question over and over and over again you can't help but think that he is everything wrong with politicians in that moment.

17:30 in this video:


Yes, he says "I voted against the renewal, everybody knows that."
But he also says, "That's the decision that has been taken and I respect that, we're going ahead."
So that leaves us right back at square one with not knowing what he's going to do about Trident.

He won't say that he doesn't support it now, after it has been put into the manifesto, because of what they bring up to do with the defense review which will include Trident.

If he says he doesn't support it outright and without being vague then everybody will know that the moment it comes up in that defense review he will get rid of it because a manifesto isn't a promise, it's a plan and plans change.
This is dirty politics and on this issue he should be ashamed of himself.

You're absolutely right though, I trust him a lot more than Theresa May.

I'm mixed and have no idea who to go for now. I was for Labour but realising that he wants to scrap our nuclear weapons and the fact he doesn't believe in the "shoot-to-kill" rule. Our nuclear weapons are the only thing stopping us from being hit by another super power.

Trident doesn't matter that much to me tbqh, Andrew Neil's questions on Trident didn't give any insight ofcourse Corbyn doesn't support Trident he wants Multilateral Nuclear Disarmament however his party supports trident so he's following them.

I'm voting Labour because I believe that the NHS needs more money, Uni fee's should be scrapped and I don't think we should be bombing other countries because it just leads to more instability.

The fact there's 2 votes for the tories, worries me.

They're out to make the rich richer and Theresa May is a complete joke.

Labour are slightly more convincing but aren't as strong as they have been previously. Lib dems are never going to get in and SNP is all about independence as far as I've seen.

I'd rather Theresa May than Jeremy Corbyn any day of the week.
