Are you a one Party person?
Let's see.
Let's see.
I cannot understand why some people only ever vote for the same party. Political parties are not like football teams where you choose one and stick with it for life. Party policies and manifestos change dramatically in their approach over time. So to blindly stick with one party irrespective of their policies makes no sense to me. I have voted for all the major parties over the course of numerous General Elections.Are you a one Party person?

Football teams change , one minute they are fantastic playing great football the next minute they are crap, but we stick with them, same with politics reallyI cannot understand why some people only ever vote for the same party.

Again always voted Labour but they were awful under Corbyn/McDonnell, really poor - can see why many turned away and agree Mccluskey needs bringing down a peg or two - way too much power within the Union and wider Labour movementI ve always voted one way Labour ,but now like to look at things in the round cant takeover mccluskey hope hes gone soon
“The Conservatives have taken Labour’s traditional place in politics.......”! Are you for real? The most right wing bunch of incompetents in living memory!
Labour did move to the left, that is true. However, I think that an analysis of what "people" (in the widest, non-personal, sense), wanted is way more complicated than what you present. For me, the two big factors in the 2019 GE, were Corbyn himself and Labour's inability to nail a definite position about Brexit.I have always voted Labour but like a large proportion of voters I realised it was moving too far to the left under Corbyn and its policies were not what people wanted. The Conservatives have taken Labour's traditional place in politics so I don't know where Labour can go from here.
Boris is as good as we have apart from Nigel Farage who doesn’t want the job.Grew up labour. Was chuffed when Blair got elected, twice even.
But then got his God complex and it was downhill from there...Brown, Milliband then Corbyn . Went from the working mans party to a cult.
Thought Cameron was a dick, May weak, but I have warmed to Boris. Sure he has faults, but his heart is in the right place.
Tin hat on
I don't intend to pick an argument 1887 but Boris Johnson is woeful, dangerous and nowhere near "as good as we have." There are Tories I'd want in Government ahead of him. I know you can't be convinced that Labour would be better but I truthfully believe that that time Will come.Boris is as good as we have apart from Nigel Farage who doesn’t want the job.
Treasonous May was a disgrace and did everything she could to stop Brexit.

Anyway call me old fashioned but I'm just happy to vote for my MP who I happen to think works hard for the constituency and is doing a good job. If that changes then so may my vote.Boris is as good as we have apart from Nigel Farage who doesn’t want the job.

Rusty has posted on this topic a few times... I’m with his opinion. No fixed party, but a serious lack of viable alternatives.
The European Elections showed this... In terms of a huge percentage of the Electorate, were not solidly Labour or Tories, given a viable choice!
See Labour under Blair, or Corbyn too - To show we’re more than just a simplistic Blue V Red electorate now.
You are a charmer aren’t youTosser!!

Number of homeless persons - rising.Corbyn and co were busy telling everyone how poor they were, when the population had never been as better off.
Sure, some people have fallen through the cracks, but for the vast majority everything is good.
Number of homeless persons - rising.
Number of food parcels handed out - rising.
Number of people living under the poverty line - rising.
Number of people in debt - rising.
Those cracks are getting wider.......
