Nah Alliance are more of a central party but SDLP would be left wing. It's always been DUP who held the seat here and then SF won it last time round. I'll be voting whoever has the best chance out of SDLP/Alliance to take the seat away from SF/DUP. My comment about left wing was a sly dig to the Labour supporters 😜 As you say Alliance are more Centre and a case could be made that SDLP are now right of centre. Sinn Fein are certainly more left wing than either but I could understand not wanting to vote them Are the Trotskyist People Before Profit running Candidates? Not that they would have much chance of success I'm not sure that SDLP are right of centre, I'd say they're further left than Alliance. What makes you say right of centre out of interest? PBP will run candidates I'm sure but they only really have minor success at MLA level. Not so much at MP level. In my area they've got little to no chance. I do actually like them and have time for them though. But yeah a vote for SF is pointless. I'd be a hypocrite if I voted them given their Westminster position and the standards I've held DUP to for not taking seats in government.

As its stands I'll be drawing a giant cock and balls on my ballot paper. Jizz or not I'm still undecided........... Be careful when spoiling your paper in this way ! The location of said cock and balls can have unintended consequences ! www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-32658907

If I vote (feel a bit weird being overseas so long) then I'll look into it closer to the time.
It was easy to say no to Labour under Corbyn and I've never voted for them before, but probably leaning that way now. Depends on the best way to get rid of the party that pushed through Brexit and fucked my future at home.

I think I’m voting Reform because, as a dyed in the wool Tory voter, I think like most that we need a change. Just conner bring myself to vote labour. The Mrs is different….she can’t stand Starmer and thinks he’s the ugliest politician she’s ever seen……so much so she says she’ll put a great big cross next to our labour candidate.

With the track records they have accumulated since the 1980's then a vote for Tory or Labour is a wasted vote. You know what's coming before you go to the polling station. Don't know why people still do it then moan after. An independent local candidate has more empathy with a constituency than any party candidate who does what his party tells him rather than based on local need.

It'll be Reform or none of the above. I'm pretty much at the point where I'll disengage with the process.
They're happy for me to keep paying in to fund their absolute incompetence, whilst gas lighting anyone from my background.
I just need to reach the point where I can understand how to keep my contributions to the bare minimum and line my own pockets as best I can, just like they do.

Was debating the cock and balls drawing myself with a scattering of pubes and a jizz line that goes to the edge of the balot paper and returns on the opposite side. We don't get to vote very often so I'm hoping they'll think it's a Banksy and I'll make the news.

Maybe I'm being a bit harsh but they seem to be a Party looking for an identity and Alliance have occupied the centre ground and don't they have Unionist or Nationalist Baggage Sometimes you have to judge someone by the Company they keep. In Britain their Fraternal Brothers are the Labour Party and in ROI they have only recently abandoned their association with Fianna Fáil probably the most Socially Conservative Political Party in ROI

It's easy enough to understand the feelings of disengagement. However I could not live with my conscience if I opted out of doing my bit to remove a sitting Tory MP and by extension end possibly the most disasterous period of governance this country has ever seen.
The vote most likely to do that in my constituency will be Labour - so Labour will therefore get my vote.

If I felt like my vote would make a difference, I'd vote Labour to remove this pilfering Conservative government. But I can't bring myself to vote for Labour over their gutless response to the Israel-Gaza conflict.

If nothing else at least on the Oatcake EE you can have 3 or 4 different opinions and people seem to get along.. in the US you'd rarely find people expressing their voting intentions without receiving a torrent of abuse.

I cast my vote in the referendum. However I know people who didn't but now wished they had. I'm therefore merely making the point that assumption made on the basis of opinion polls can be sometimes be fatally flawed

If the Worker’s Party of Britain stand a candidate in my constituency, I’ll be voting for them.
If not, maybe Green.
I just cannot vote for a party (Tory or Labour) indulging an evil country’s brutal destruction and genocide of innocent Palestinians, as well as their supporters in this country.
