I presume you live in England, so you're only choices if you don't want Tory, Labour nor Reform would be Lib Dems or Greens. |  |

I hope we all tread precaution around political theads in the run up to the election. Things have been pretty fraught on such topics on here.
One question though - there was talk of boundary changes in West London that would have meant our ground would be in the borough of Ealing. Haven't heard anything so presumably the idea died a death. |  | | |

I think there were boundary changes all over, it’s apparently to do with numbers of residents.
I JUST got in in 1979, my mate a real political fanatic missed out by a week! |  | | |

Loftboy, great question but we can't discuss it on LfW. I respect Clive's call for no political threads on here despite wishing I could respond to your and many other political posts. All I do is quote The Who's classic song, Won't Get Fooled Again, Meet the new boss, same as the old boss |  | | |

Was my thoughts, would consider myself a hypocrite voting green as I drives diesel and have multiple holidays a year, have never considered myself liberal, don’t want to waste my vote so stuck in a real quandary. | |

I think it's now Hammersmith and Chiswick constituency, so LR still in same borough.
Folk living south of Hammersmith Broadway, I believe are now in Chelsea & Fulham.
So, our borough has no Prem clubs ! We are the biggest team ! You R's !
Ps..by borough I really mean constituency. Hammersmith & Fulham remains the council body. [Post edited 22 May 18:52]

I'm 41 and I've only ever voted Labour .
Not a lot will change as it will take years to try and unpick the absolute shitshow of the last 14 years or so but it will be a very pleasing to watch the arrogant twts lose their seats | | | |

Man, this is tough.
It'll be good to get the Tories out. They don't know what they are doing.
But Labour can f**k off. They're good for the NHS but shit on crime and last time they were in we had the whole Weapons of Mass Destruction lie/Iraq War which cost many lives.
Lib Dems? Well, they're my usual vote but f**k me, I literally can't name one of those c*nts. And that includes the leader.
Greens? Fk that. Look, I just need to live another 30 or so years. I don't need the entire economy collapsing because of their bullshit.
Anything right wing/Farage-y/GB News-y. F**k off. Bunch of grifters and w@nkers.
Shite. |  |

Spot on, David.
My last post here on this thread.
You are so right. |  |

Lib Dem for me.
Priority for me is to get the Tories out. Regardless of any political leanings we all may have don’t think it’s healthy for one party to remain in power for so long. They just look exhausted and like they have given up.
Re boroughs - it’s the constituency map that was re-drawn (that’s the area that elects MPs).
The borough boundaries - for electing councillors to Hammersmith and Fulham council - remain unchanged as far as i’m aware. | | | |

I noticed Larry the cat was sitting behind Rishi when he made the announcement - I hope Keir Starmer likes cats. | | | |

There have been loads of boundary changes for parliamentary constituencies for this election. Borough boundary changes are much rarer and not connected. Constituencies that straddle borough boundaries are much more common than they used to be. |  |

Once the manifestos are out, I like to do the vote for policies thing where you blindly select the policies you think are best without knowing which party they belong to. Normally gives me a good idea of who's at least talking the best game, whether they're able to deliver it is an altogether different conversation. |  | | |

For the “Standing at the back looking very stupid party” .I presume .
On a serious note. Everyone should try and vote.
Even if you write C***s on the ballot paper . At least you’ve made the effort. | | | |

The single biggest impact on humanity and the planet Earth is how we can realign ourselves with the natural world , preserve what little biodiversity we have left and prevent any further tip in climate change. It might not affect you directly but believe me millions if not billions are already suffering on a global scale. In reality every other political topic pales in comparison. So I have voted Green for the last 3 elections.
But until those in power ditch the first past the post system (which they never will) this country will remain trapped in a Conservative or Tory-Lite trade off and 'tactical voting'. The Greens actually get a huge number of votes but under our political system it counts for not very much. |  | | |

No criticism of OP but don’t think we should get into political debates ! Should remain your personal view. Only thing I’d say is whoever gets in will just be as bad lying etc! | |

Basically because all the mainstream parties offer monster raving loony agendas and never has there been a time where the choices are so disappointingly poor. |  |
