    Not all Reform voters are racist, but all racists vote reform.
    If 10% of voters on this board is extrapolated, that's a tad concerning.

    I was tempted to go Green, but was waiting to see what presence they had. Unfortunately I haven't seen a shred from them. Nothing whatsoever. Not even a leaflet through the door. Ultimately if they don't see any point in campaigning their consituency on any level, I don't see any point giving them my vote.

    I know of a few people who live in that area and have had to source the help of her as an MP. All been very positive about how supportive she has been and willing to help.

    That's always a hard bit about voting for an MP. Yes there is the national situation but, you also need to consider whether indeed they have done a good job for the area. Could end up with someone who is simply there to make the numbers up.

    I prefer Dan Jarvis having dealt with him positively, than the actual Labour manifesto, so again that was in my decision making.

    Shouldn't come as any surprise really, given the Brexit vote turnout in Barnsley. There's a hell of a lot of racism in Barnsley. Hell of a lot.

    Maybe my misguided belief in humanity thought they'd have realised how they'd been fed ballocks last time and would have made them see the error of their ways.
    Won't get fooled again?
    Oh aye.

    I live in the Rother Valley constituency (currently Tory due to Boris’ Get Brexit Done crap) - we have an outstanding Labour candidate in Jake Richards who lives in the constituency & has been very visible for over a year - he’s got to win! If Alex Stafford returns as MP, I’ll just despair at the lunatics of my area

    I'll be voting Labour but the strong feeling around the Barnsley South ward us Reform will take the seat and it won't even be close.

    If thats the case I'll be extremely disappointed.

    Play nice. :)
    Fortunately it's a democracy (currently) and people have a choice.
    It might not be a choice you agree with, but it's a choice regardless.

    Voted Labour. Lib dem’s have the best manifesto but no chance of winning. Green party i agree with them on almost everything, the exception being a deal breaker.

    They want to remove the option for women to have an elective C Section during childbirth for financial reasons. I just fundamentally disagree with government getting involved in healthcare in that way, in the same way i believe abortions should be freely available to anyone that needs one for whatever reason.

    Green. Rock solid Labour seat though, so an easy call really.

    I've got no love for Starmer but want to see the Tories annihilated - would probably have gone full on tactical if I'd lived in a marginal, and hoped that people who live in constituencies like mine would reduce their majority enough to make them think.

    As a member of the Labour party, I'm obviously voting for them. Would be minded to vote green if it would make a difference though. Would like to see the Aussie system brought in where alternative votes can be counted when one candidate doesn't get 50% of the votes cast. We've just had our boundary changed, so we're now in Derbyshire dales which borders the Hallam constituency, we used to be in South Derbyshire and live a mile or so from the Staffordshire border.

    When the torys start to play nice with the working class I'll play nice with them until then they can **** off. As for reform they are just more extreme torys they are to the Tory party what the SS was to the German army.

    Just thought it might be interesting, seeing as we're about 48 hours away from one of the most important days of the last 15 years.

    I’m now in the Ossett and Denby Dale Constituency, if there was a Denby Dale Pie candidate I’d vote for them , the only leaflet I’ve had is from Labour , still undecided
