Oh Quids... (better known as our dear election Agony Aunt)

I need your help, I appear to be wavering, like a reed blowing ing the wind...

I promised I would not vote for Labour after the Iraq fiasco, but want to use my vote to prevent the Tories winning... I am in a safe seat (Harriet Harman) and I am not keen to vote for her, however am worried that if I vote Liberal I may in some way be helping the Conservatives to get in (by undermining a safe seat).... I keep trying to make my choice and as the time gets closer I just get more uncertain and am in danger of becoming like a rabbit in the headlights....

Even thought of desperate measure such as spoiling my ballot paper

Any advice welcomed,

Thanks in advance for your help...

Yours gratefully, CharlieCharlie

Charliecharlie, I hope you don't mind my using your advisor's services too.


???? - I'm still not sure either. I truly wish to vote Green Party, but everyone I have spoken to has told me that voting as such would effectively be a wasted vote. Following advice/assistance from Keef/Loz on another thread, I thought I should vote Green at the Locals and vote either Yellow or Red at the Nationals. So, until recently I was leaning towards Yellow. Bear in mind that I do not wish to Blues to get in (the thought scares me to bits). However, my friend Bookworm believes I should vote for what I truly believe in - i.e. Green. So now I am back to the beginning. What to do ???? (or anyone else). If I voted Green, would it really be a waste? What are the chances of the Blues getting in in ED? (Sorry but I don't fully understand the voting system).


Time is running out.


So to summarise:


My allegiance is with Green

Under no circumstances do I wish for the Blues to succeed.

I don't particularly wish to vote either Yellow or Red, but I would - reluctantly - be prepared to do so in the interests of the greater good (i.e. keeping the Blues out).


I need sound arguments to help me decide.


Thanks in advance.

    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
    • The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......
