Lib Dems. I’m usually a Labour supporter but I couldn’t stomach a vote for Corbyn. He’d make an awful PM.

It's a parliamentary system - he has to rule by careful intraparty consensus or be toppled

Tories, because I want to see the Brexit deal ratified. The EU27 have negotiated a deal that is very beneficial for us on the continent. It will remove the most obstructive and obtuse Government and EU parliamentary delegation, and finally transform the EU-UK relationship from one of equals to one of master and subject. It will remove the most pro-american country and finally allow Europe to act more independently from the US. And it will  allow the EU to move on from Brexit quickly and finally start reforming it to strengthening EU cohesion.
Divorcing this incompatible marriage is best, therefore I am convinced Brexit is necessary. Boris will do that, so kudos to him.

Leaving that aside, if I actually lived in the UK, I would probably be terrified of the prospect of five more years of Austerity, the balkanisation of my country and my NHS being devoured by American corporations, and would be voting labour.

This is a party political broadcast by the Brexit Party.

I dislike them all, but I'd probably be a reluctant Labour voter, same as in 2017. As opposed to solidly Labour in 2015.

I'd vote tactically against the Tories if Lib Dems/SNP were their main opposition where I lived though.

Lib Dem because I can't stand Johnson or Corbyn.

If there was a good enough minor candidate then maybe them.

Lib Dem, though it depends on the constituency of course.

In Tory-Labour marginals I would vote Labour. In Lib Dem-anyone else marginals I would vote Lib Dem. If I lived in any of the handful of constituencies where the Greens are relevant I would vote for them.

In Wales I would vote for Plaid Cymru over the Lib Dems. However in Scotland I would not vote SNP over the Lib Dems.

Finally in Northern Ireland my vote would go something like Alliance>SDLP>UUP>Literally anyone else>Spoilt ballot. No way I am voting for reactionaries (DUP) or former terrorists (Sinn Fein)

Easy Labour vote. I'd probably vote SNP in Scotland though. And Plaid Cymru where it could win in Wales. And the Greens where they could win.

I wouildn't vote Lib Dem though. And sure as f**k not voting for the Tories.

I suppose I will vote Tory again, as I always do after disparaging the party consistently between general elections. It’s a funny feeling though, as I’m more in sympathy than ever before with at least some of Labour’s positions... but I don’t think I could ever bring myself to vote Labour (especially not with the cutthroat crew running the party now).

Honestly not sure. Corbyn's ...issues make it difficult for me to vote for Labour, but I'm sure as Hell not voting for the Tories or the Lib Dems, the Greens have no chance, and the nationalists rub me the wrong way. Might do what I did last time and "support" the Greens during the campaign and then root for Labour in spite of myself on election night.

Labour in a marginal seat, Green in a safe seat or one of the few seats where they are competitive like Brighton Pavilion or Isle of Wight.

Lib Dem probably. Normally, I'd hold my nose and vote Labour, but I think one term under Corbyn would set Labour back a generation. If it wasn't a seat where the Lib Dems were in serious contention,  I'd probably vote tactically to prevent a Conservative win.

Lib Dem, though I'd be an anti-Con strategic voter.

Conservative Party if I like the candidate enough (in England, Scotland or Wales)
Democratic Unionist Party if I'm in Northern Ireland
Brexit Party otherwise

Just for fun:

2019 General Election:

Labour Party: 41.9%, 379 seats (+117)
Conservative Party: 21.5%, 102 seats (-216)
Liberal Democrats: 29.0%, 99 seats (+87)
SNP: 4.1%, 51 seats (+16)
Brexit Party: 2.2%, 0 seats

So if it was up to Atlas, and aside from the Greens and Plaid disappearing (and a few minor Labour losses to the Lib Dems), this sort of Conservative meltdown would result in (among others) Boris, IDS, Rees-Mogg, Baker, Gove, Hunt, Mordaunt, Raab, Cox, Grayling, McVey, Redwood, Wallace and May all losing their seats. Lib Dems end up a few votes short of winning several dozen extra seats from the Conservatives and reducing them to a mere rump.

(Unrelated: I'm interested in doing another interactive TL series like I've done with the UK, Spain and Chile, though I'm not certain which scenario to pursue right now - ideally from those three countries as I have more info -, if anyone has an idea please let me know)

With Labour so high, I doubt SNP would sweep Scotland.

I have to imagine the Lib Dems sweep Scotland before most places.
