    Can we have a 'none of the above' option because right now I'd struggle to muster the enthusiasm to walk to the polling booth to vote for anybody.

    Labour, with more enthusiasm than I've had since '97. Despite me being on the electoral register in one of the safest Tory seats in the country, meaning my vote would count for nothing. The sooner we have a proper proportional system, the better.

    Corbyn or May.
    Choosing the best out of two bad choices.
    About 70 million people living in Britain and we have to choose one of these as our next PM.

    Exactly this. A friend of mine has lived in a few different parts of the UK with work. He says he just votes for whoever is most likely to keep the Tories out where he is. It's a sorry system that forces people to vote tactically.

    It's a riveting time for politics at the minute though their is a complete dearth of talent in the Conservative Party. Labour seem a fantastic choice at the moment bold positive and human. People are weary of the tories slagging the nation off we want to believe again.

    We’ve just had a snap election.

    She’d be off her rocker to call another one, old Tresemme.

    Only just got away with this last one.

    I'd vote labour as it's my party but I don't always agree with the NECs policies especially under Blair, but it was better than the alternative.
    I agree with some of the posters about the two party system and votes not counting etc it o ly benefits the two party's and as they are mostly in charge I can't see it changing, we had a chance a few years ago of changing it but the formula offered by the Tories to the lib Dems was a weak one and was easy charged down by the hierarchy of the two party's along with their media puppies.

    Usually Liberal Democrat for me but I'm not really a fan of any of them. Disappointed that Tim Farron resigned as leader but I guess that's what happens when his faith was constantly being bashed and brought into it for no reason.

    If I could vote for Brexit negotiations to be a cross party thing I'd do that though. Conservatives, Labour, Liberals.. Hell, even get Nigel Farage in there.
