I would vote for some virtual unknown if the Tory and UKIP candidates are pro-abortion (at least on whatever abortion-related issue is being fought in UK right now).

There are actually a decent few "pro-life" abortion people in Labour - normally old Catholic mainstays. Not that the issue comes up very much outside the spooky province.

Yeah, the abortion issue has pretty much always been defined as not being party political.

Wish it was like that in Canada. I don't like how my only mainstream option is 'half the Tories'.

Labour. But the New Lebour faction of Blair/Brown/Miliband, not the Corbyn-faction.

Tory, especially the likes of Andrea Leadsom, Daniel Hannan and Boris Johnson to name three. Would also vote for Douglas Carswell (UKIP), if I lived in Clacton.

'Tis a shame that the Carswell/Hannan faction of the British right is so lock-horned against Farage and company.

Conservative, but not as enthusiastically as before. Theresa May's betrayal of Israel at the UN has really dampened the recent high affection I had for the Party.

Does this rehabilitate May at least to some extent in your eyes, or not?

I've not voted because my party isn't on this list - it really should be, if you group all of the Green parties together and remove the nationalists and NI parties, its clearly the sixth biggest by a huge margin - indeed, at the Scottish Parliament level they now beat the Lib Dems.  Although I would vote tactically against the Tories whenever I could, although a tactical Lib Dem or SNP (just based on the quality of the local party; some SNP people are good) vote would be more reluctant than a tactical Labour one.

The Dems who are saying that they'd vote Tory in the UK ought to reconsider and look at a fair chunk of the policies that the Tories have passed in the last six and a half years - especially on welfare, the whole sanctioning thing.

Liberal Democrat because F[INKS] JEREMY CORBYN

you supported sanders, therefore in the UK you'd be Labour or Green.  Especially considering the fact that its your geneation that really had the biggest anti-Lib Dem reaction after the coalition.  The party goes beyond its leader.

Farron supports SSM. I said Liberal Democrats, and I'm pretty gay.

The Lib Dems' chances in Cambridge could be f**ked when Farron's more dubious views become more widely known.

This seems to be like refusing to vote for Labour because they were in SI with Mubarak's party.

I'd probably be Labour, Lib Dems, or Greens, I voted Lib Dems in this poll because I like underdogs, and don't like Corbyn.

Maybe Greens if I really felt like it. If Corbyn lost the leadership and a sane Labour leader was in charge, I'd be in favor of Labour.

UKIP. I would happily vote for a Tory in the mould Jacob Rees-Mogg (or the man himself) but such creatures are few and far between.

He's just an incompetent doofus, at least from what I've seen. Of course, his opponents in Labour (like Owen Smith) are even more incompetent, so...
