The traditional CF voting intentions thread, week 6

Right … we’re on the home straight. Sprint finish all the way to polling day. In other words, it’s week 6 of the election campaign and time to open a new thread/poll.

Continuing the previous thread's Vote Compass examples:

I re-ran my votecompass.uk test with my home nation as ‘England’ so it gave me a breakdown of my social and economic views, rather than combining them to make room for the constitutional politics that occupy the vertical axis in the Scottish version of the survey.

I am still a good fit with Labour, as it happens.

Since you have…

Fun how the present incarnation of Labour isn’t even rated as a ‘progressive’ party on the social scale. I guess that’s due to the pivot away from the Corbyn years.

Meanwhile, I’ve been keeping election leaflets to try to help engage my resident first time voter in the process. She hasn’t filled her postal vote in yet. We got a handful of leaflets today including the ones from all the minor parties and independents, who were satisfyingly bonkers. One of them is committed to campaigning against the Glasgow LEZ (we’re not in Glasgow, and the LEZ is so small it’s easily avoided, albeit it’s way more draconian than the London ULEZ) and fighting for the right to pay with cash everywhere. The other one has produced a leaflet that’s some sort of rambling essay I’ve read twice and still can’t make head or tail of but seems to be some kind of independent Marxist.

Either way it’s either SNP or Labour around here. The rest is theatre.

Bunch of lefty nutjobs, just as well that your informed, perpetually-debated and micro-analysed voting intentions will be negated by a few tattooed skinheads in right-wing Europe

I can't get to the site on the computer I read this site with but I get

Con - 64%
LD - 59%
Lab - 51%
Reform - 48%

Some questions are too broad. On benefits I think those that need them probably should get more but it needs to be better focussed on the needy not those that know how to use the system.

Well I've voted.Doubt it will make any difference to the outcome.
