I Voted Remain

And am a lifelong conservative voter.
However, I’m in a complete quandary as to how to vote in next months general election.
I’m not very keen on Boris, my blood runs cold at the thought of Jezza in charge of the country, and what’s all this ‘tactical voting’ about?
I’d really like someone who has voted remain, and is a conservative voter, to tell me who they’re going to vote for, and why.
This is a serious question, I’d prefer it not to get into an argument. Thanks.

Labour want to nationalise everything & are unaware that it's been tried before & doesn't work, so that will set the country back billions - oh, a & they are anti-Semitic.

The Conservatives led by Boris, want to get Brexit done & have also a large raft of other social items on their agenda.

The Lib Dems simply wish to defy the electorate.

The Brexit Party have no agenda (other than what it says on the tin) & are led by an increasingly raving egomaniac.

Yer pays yer money & yer takes yer choice.

I personally back Boris.
How can remain/leave be irrelevant in a GE which is happening half way through Brexit and when the party most likely to win have done everything they can to delay it happening?
Vagus, between now and voting day there will be plenty of spiel from all the parties, so there is no rush to make your mind up.

Ha ha Kandro, seems a very succinct sum up of it all!
ZM: "How can remain/leave be irrelevant in a GE which is happening half way through Brexit and when the party most likely to win have done everything they can to delay it happening? " - do try and read what is written, remain/leave is irrelevant if, despite voting remain you accept the result and therefore agree we should leave, that takes away the reason the OP was stating for possibly not voting Tory as he normally does.

No I know there’s no rush Danny, but it is on my mind quite a lot and I’m really interested to hear as many views as possible from those who have previously voted the same way as me so I can put a lot of thought into it before the day arrives. It does worry me...
If you are looking for the closet party to the Conservative party, the Monster Raving Loony party would be it
Interestingly, they want to send Noel Edmonds to negotiate brexit because he understands Deal or No Deal.
You mentioned that you voted Remain but haven’t said if that still matters to you.
If tactical voting is something you are interested in then find out if you don’t know already how your constituency voted last time.
Tactical voting means usually voting for a party which you don’t normally support for whatever reason.
There are always other issues to be considered but when one issue has been a thorn in our side for ages it overwhelms most if not all others. Worth considering that every election some party gets in, does some things ok, messes us up further in other things. The next session isn't going to be so different aside from Brexit; and anything else can be tackled next time. It's a case of making clear to one's favoured candidate when that time arrives, the importance of getting rid of the errors from the previous government.
That is a very good reply Steg , made me laugh.
I'm the opposite to you, but the same!
I'm a Labour voter but cannot vote for Corbyn, Abbott, McDonnell, Starmer etc, they have taken Labour down a path that I do not recognise.
I was going to vote for Boris, first time EVER that I would even think about voting Tory, but after he failed on his promise of getting us out on 31st October, and now he has taken 'no deal' off the table, I will not be voting for Conservative!
The Un-Liberal Undemocratic party are a disgrace, what is democratic about trying to overturn a democratic vote, disgusting!
I think it will be Brexit party for me.
There must be millions of people up and down the country who have the same problem as you and I, it'll be very interesting on the night.
As a remainer I shall be using a tactical vote if push comes to shove. There's no way I'll vote for Boris but I live in a Tory stronghold (currently held by the retired Speaker who has effectively disenfranchised me for the past 3 elections) and, despite my leftist leanings, I'm quite prepared to vote tactically.
saint peter: "I was going to vote for Boris, first time EVER that I would even think about voting Tory, but after he failed on his promise of getting us out on 31st October, " but surely you can see he was thwarted by the quislings.
diddly: 14:24, stop it I'm welling up ere!
TTT - it's about time you stopped referring to elected MPs as quislings.
//Oh, and my sympathy for having to admit voting remain. Must be embarrassing for you.//

Double whammy of having to admit to voting Tory in the same sentence. There's no let up in embarrassment for him.
tell you what diddly I'll stop referring to MPs as Quislings when they stop behaving like Quislings.
bhg481 //I find it fascinating that people are claiming they will vote for the Remain party when they haven't a clue what their manifesto will be, other than "Leave the EU with no deal". There are other things in life which are important.//

Did you mean The Brexit Party?
Spicerack - Sorry, Yes. Senior moment there.
bhd,//Sorry, Yes. Senior moment there//
Or was it actually a Freudian slip.
