I agree with both of these statements. I really like Change UK for standing up to the Labour leadership though. My vote was swayed by wanting to stand shoulder to shoulder with them on that as well as on a Remain ticket |

I didn’t vote in the last GE - I simply could not place my vote in the Conservative box after the Brexit referendum.
In the last local elections, I voted Labour because our council is quite well run.
Today I voted Lib Dem’s to say Bollocks To Brexit |

I voted LibDem in these EU elections and Green in the Locals. I voted Conservative in the last EU Elections and spoiled my ballot paper at the locals before last locals(2 years ago) because the only choices were Labour, Conservative or Green. |

I voted remain in The Referendum (was a reluctant remainer) ,,, I voted Labour in 2017 GE because of their manifesto ,,,, and voted Labour in The E.U. Elections , mainly because of their 2017 General Election Manifesto |

Last GE voted Tory
wouldn’t vote labour because of Corbyn
Referendum voted leave
Euros voted Brexit Party
And Change Uk shouldnt even be a party until they have held bi elections and been elected as such

for the first time in a long time i stood looking at my ballot paper and hesitated (quite a long time) before holding my nose and voting Labour. Was tempted to vote Lib Dem but considering how many Lib Dems used their votes to support Tories and in one case a coalition of Tories and kippers after the local elections at the start of the month I just could not bring myself to vote for them (ever). |

Last GE - didn't vote, i wasn't able to.
Local elections last one 2016 i think - didn't vote as the previous Labour mp got his seat back as only two others going for it. in was useless before a tory took over and still no change.
EU election - didn't vote, because i honestly couldn't decide. I found fault with everyone. Although we did have plaid Cwmry. I don't hear much about them. |

Voted Conservative at the last GE.
Didn't vote at the locals, as only Conservative and Labour standing.
Didn't vote yesterday as was too busy. If i had had time, it would probably been a spoilt paper.
Sad times for a democrat. |

Conservatives 2017 General election
Reason, I think a Labour government would be bad for the UK.
Labour local ELECTIONS because I think they'd do a better job on local issues.
European Parliament elections
Liberal Democrats because they are the only party candidates that I believe will work for the benefits and interest of the UK while we're still members of the European Union.

It’s Lib Dem only because the last thing I would like to see is a loudmouth Farage in Brussels anymore 
All he wants to do is cause mayhem there and get paid for it!
We have been embarrassed enough by that clown |

Green and green.
And not because of their eco policies.
In the GE I liked some of their wider thinking. I also liked they tended to debate the issues rather than play the petty point scoring game by the other parties.
For the EU I felt they took the elections and their re in the eu seriously. I want my representatives to represent me. Not just collect a salary and make boo hiss noises |

I (until yesterday) don't vote...but this time i voted green party. For a few reasons....firstly because i promised my fave fab hippie bob bangs that i would, secondly because i knew rightly they wouldn't get in but it's one vote fewer for the unionists and republicans....and because now i don't get called a commie nazi fascist republican unionist gay bashing homosexual lesbian trump clinton supporter hate speaking milkshake throwing sexist ageist religious athiest remaining remoaning global warmist climate denying wanker.... i still get the wanker label but that's for legitmate reasons....
vote green! If nothing else you'll be regarded
as a saint among people!

Last GE - Lib Dem because of Brexit
Locals - Lib Dem because the existing councillor has done a good job
Europeans - Lib Dem because of Brexit
Although it looks like from this that I'm a signed up member of the Lib Dem party I honestly am not. I've always prided my self on being a floating voter and considering my choices before I vote. |

"strolled past polling station on my way to work and again on the way home and no one about either time,didnt bother going in myself as not registerd to vote"
. On my way to vote I met a neighbour who asked where I was going , when I told him I was going to vote in the EU elections , he said he wasn't voting because those in the EU were unelected

I voted Labour at the recent EU election.I have always voted Labour for for General Elections as well as Council Elections the closest I have come to voting Conservatives was when Dave Cameron beat Gordon Brown and Miliband.I voted remain for Brexit as I feel we are stronger in than out and a snap shot of my area told me there were just as much British people claiming benefits as people from other countries so I didn’t buy into the rubbish about no jobs for British people |

well he a bit of a prick then my reason for not votin in the e.u elections is same as reason i dnt vote in any other election.i dont trust any of them of any party.you just have to look at the mess right now.asked people to vote on something didnt like the result and at somepoint will bin brexit off.makes me laugh how peeps are gettin so wound up about it all.parliment dont want to leave so they wont.like most elections make promises that once in power none off them keep. thats the reason i dont take part all full of shit every single one of them.by far the worst off all for me is change uk |

Two-thirds of Labour supporters voted Remain in 2016
Two-thirds of Conservative supporters voted Leave in 2016.
If the UK is still a member of the EU by the time of the next General Election, the right will split in two much more than the left will.
Brexit Party won't win a GE. But it will destroy enough Conservative seats to allow Corbyn to become PM.
