Labour. Never ever voted Labour before but I'd rather s**t in my hand and punch a wall than help elect May into power.

"You've not listed the [insert name here] party!" 
Labour - because they aren't the Tories and could actually win this seat. I don't have a great deal of respect for the party as a whole, but ultimately I realised I'd be marginally happier with Mr Corbyn walking through the door of Number 10 than Mrs May.I know it ain't likely in the slightest, but that was just enough to convince me that I can support them just to spite the Conservatives. I disagree with just about every policy the Conservatives have to offer, and abhor the vast majority of their front bench, including that odious little runt who is charged with selling off the NHS.
In my heart, I'd vote Plaid Cymru. Their policy of preventing repatriation of powers (most notably the NHS) to Westminster is grossly under appreciated in this part of the world. But they have no chance of winning in this seat and I'd prefer to lend my vote to Labour if it means that the Tories lose their seat.

Well i am working class so only one party i can vote for and Labour it is.
As I mentioned in another thread, I intend to vote Labour. Apart from liking my local MP, who has been a good campaigner for the area, I refuse to even consider voting for a party which can't even be bothered to cost its manifesto.
Is that a pro-Tory vote or an anti-SNP one?

Labour.
Also notice how on (on mine at least) the poll colour is red for Conservative and blue for Labour.

Fairly safe SNP-held seat; Scottish Conservative and Unionist for me, might even pip Labour for second place.

It's like when Walkers started putting Salt and Vinegar in green packets and Cheese and Onion in blue !
It was terribly confusing, especially as I had always eaten Tudor Crisps before that.
Anyway, topic in hand, Labour. Won it back in 2015 and she is pretty likeable.

Can't vote yet , but live in a Marginal Tory seat , and would like nothing better than to see May and her band of deceitful hardline Conservatives out , so for me it would be a vote for Labour , sadly can't vote yet , but definitely will at the next election

Bit of both actually. The Tory candidate for Glasgow Central (Charlotte Fairbanks) is actually likeable. Can't stand Alison Thewliss at all...

Better the devil you know with May, than 5 years of Labour spending money they haven't got left, right & centre pushing the country once more even more into debt
Although I might vote for the Lib Dem candidate seeing as I went to school with him

Just like the Tories over the last 7 years then?
To Labour or the Tories, I suspect.

Well, voting Tory is a sure-fire way to change the status-quo... :roll:
I'll be voting Labour, I'm in a usually safe Labour seat, but anything can happen this time around.
If you vote Tory, then you're no friend of mine I'm afraid...
Agree 100 percent!

Labour, no doubts what so ever.
Tories equals very very bad on so many levels, LibDems will never be forgiven by me for shacking up with the Tories and subjecting us to years os misery. SNP are IMO a joke and couldnt run an ice cream van. They have been hopeless in Scotland, ineffective at Westminster and are obsessed with something the people of Scotland voted against but yet cant take No for an answer.
I notice that labour are miles ahead in this thread.

Labour, because well
...and so on are all reasons not to allow thissoulless self-serving lot in again.
- severe underfunding of the NHS,
- unprecedented numbers of people needing to use food banks,
- tax cuts for the rich,
- fox hunting (ripping defenceless animals to shreds for enjoyment),
- soaring child poverty,
- severe and sustained underfunding of our education system,
- relentless increasing of university fees,
- welfare "reforms" (negligently allowing disabled people to starve to death),
- secret courts (no right to hear the charges or evidence against you),
- unlawful retroactive legislation (opposed by only a handful of MPs, including Corbyn)
- downright arrogance
...and so on are all reasons not to allow this

I couldn't disagree more with your sentiments on the Lib Dems. While I don't like that they shacked up with the Tories, I feel that they took a lot of the sting out of an outright Tory government, and that the 5 years of Cameron/Clegg were a hell of a lot more palatable than the 2 years since
I'm in the same boat as Y961 XBU in that my seat is a Labour safe seat, so feel that it makes little difference who I vote for, so am voting Green as they have the policies that I agree with most.
