Your allegiance to which political party?

Just thought I would ask people on here to which political party their allegiances lie?

Just out interest nothing more.

None I decide at the time which party I agree with.

They're all as bloody bad as each other!

Disagree that they’re all as bad as each other. Might all be toßers but policies are different and matters IMO.

Ticked ‘other’ because none of those listed match my views.

Always voted Labour, always will. Think Starmer is a bit of a tosser but would rather have him than bullsh1t Boris.

Besides, you should never vote for a person, but a party and it's policies, so Starmer is like a football manager; one day he will be gone, but the party/team will live on.

I've voted for 3 different parties in my voting lifetime but never for the Tories and unless there was a massive sea change in their outlook highly doubt I ever will. The core values of the Tories are nothing like my own, plus I grew up during the Thatcher years.

I have absolutely no political affiliation and vote for the person I think will do the most for the area where I live. That varies and there have been times I have deliberately abstained when I thought they were all w@nkers.

In my youth I was a Labour member, worked for Tony Crosland and later for the party in the West Riding in the 60s and 70s up to the time of T Dan Smith and Poulson and co.  I think it was Orwell who said every self-respecting teenager begins as a socialist.

Attending union and party conferences and reporting to various colours of council committees convinced me that the party system is the single biggest handicap to progress in this country. It is full of self-opinionated bigots whose primary aim is self-advancement. No decisions reflect public opinions and all are made behind closed doors for the benefit of vested interests. I don’t care which party it is, none is exempt, this is a truism.

I think all party leaders are bull shitters and do many people actually vote for a leader rather than a party?

Mind you having said that I think in the December G.E. many voted against their party leader especially in the Labour Party and also voted for a leader namely Boris for his "lets get Brexit done" slogan.

Intertesting comments from a former Labour MP including about the current leader :-

People like Caroline Flint above demonstrate why it’s important not to tie yourself to any particular party. Flint was part of Blair’s New Labour which lost votes in every single GE since 1997, was caught out in the MPs expenses scandal in which she personally swindled the taxpayer out of thousands, employed her husband in her office on a £40k salary, voted for the illegal Iraq war and against investigations into it. All this while supposedly representing the working class, but in essence was taking her constituents for a well-paid, easy ride.

The best thing you can do is make yourself aware of what’s important, ignore the noise in the billionaire-funded media and vote accordingly.

Paid up party member of Labour,

Had the pleasure of growing up under Thatcher with a single parent on benefits, had to get a £20 voucher to buy school clothes and had to queue for free dinners at school. The Tories will always screw the poor, look after the rich and pretend social mobility exists.

I’m well off now, professional job but don’t vote for  what’s in it for me but those less fortunate.
