If I'm still in the same constituency when the next General Election happens, then I guess I'd probably grativate to either SDLP or Alliance, depending on who the candidate is, although I would very much be a floating voter. If I were to move to England before then, then once again, I remain a floating voter, in the order I would probably gravitate towards would likely be Labour/Conservative/Lib Dem. I might add a poll to this if you're okay with this.

Well this is it another NI GE on the 2nd March - I'm not at all sure who to vote for in that but just hope enough (middle class) unionists are disillusioned by the DUP that they lose 9 seats to disable their ability to use the veto of concern over all progressive legislation. If I was English I would vote for Labour but over here I would vote for either SF/NI Labour/People Before Profit/Greens.

Schlagerdrottningen Joined: 23 August 2010 Posts: 31,877 User: 11,709	It depends on what issue/series of issues I'm taking into consideration. There's always the conundrum between voting with my heart on social issues, which I would side most strongly with Sinn Fein, or my head on economic issues which is what draws me to Alliance and the UUP (though obviously their policies are quite different, but both represent a version of what I'd like to see).

I didn't know you were from NI too, thought it was just me and Brett Butler, also Steve201 from there too. That's three iconic Buzzjackers and me UUP are less right wing than DUP if I remember correctly. Would vote Green Party or maybe Alliance myself.

What prompted you to leave? With Theresa May having gone from having been a Remainer to being a hard Brexiteer now (hypocritical, at least Trump for all his massive flaws seems to stick to his original beliefs (and remember Brexit was generally based on similar zenophobic values as to what got Trump elected so for me there is not much comparison between Brexit and Trump in terms of zenophobia and imo pointless isolationalism)), it seems more people will be leaving/ less people will be supporting the Conservative Party. The problem is Corbyn being very left wing, the anti-Semitism and terrorist group sympathising accusations (not saying they are true though but the media spotlight on these things would create a negative effect on the Labour party) going on with some elements of his party and the Lib Dem revival as Lotti has said, meaning the Remainer 48% vote will be split and the Conservatives will still be elected. If I was living in England, I would vote Lib Dems btw. This post has been edited by Snake Got Hissed: 17th January 2017, 02:25 PM
