Their history is certainly not great, but it can't compare to the last 7 years. Now they have a different leader which can' tbe discounted.
But regardless, the point still remains: if not Labour then it will be the Tories. So which is worse?

That's pretty much exactly what it can - and is - being compared against.
And we're back to constituencies not existing.
Labour. Firstly, I would like to see Corbyn's policies implemented, and secondly, nothing would piss off the Labour right more than for a left Labour platform to do well. I didn't vote for Labour under Miliband, but this time I think that a disastrous showing for Labour would be held up as evidence that the British electorate are inherently right wing and could never accept a socialist platform.

Yet you won't consider tactical voting to cost the Tories seats.

The Labour candidate in my seat - I repeat - has already defended the attacks the Labour council are making on the community. I think it's fair to assume therefore that Labour will continue to make them were they to win (locally or nationally).

I'm going tactical. It looks like conservatives are going to walk it and that does frighten me so I will be voting for Lib Dems as where I am they are the most likely to oust conservatives. It doesn't matter what the LibDems policies actually are, when in opposition it just seems the parties just slag off whatever the government does regardless of policy. We need that much as possible.
It hasn't been an easy choice though. Normally I just vote monster raving looney.

But the cuts he's supporting are Tory cuts.
I'm not disputing your reading of the candidate. There are plenty of scumbags in Labour. But that doesn't change the overall reality, and even during the Blair Brown years, even when Purnell (A Cunt!) introduced ESA and the WCA, we didn't have situations like we do now. Things really are that bad, imo, and a Labour government, under Corbyn, is the price I'm willing to pay.
I might feel different if the party had a different leader and different policies. I fully acknowledge there is no guaratnee Corbyn will get anything done. But that is uncertain compared to the absolute guarantee you have that your local services WILL die under the Tories. It won't matter who your local MP is.
I am in a marginal constituency...between LibDem and Labour...so obvs, Labour...with a great deal of mangled principles.
I have affixed a long list of parties to my front door...with descriptions of each party (using my bestest, most inflammatory vocabulary)...and have derived some amusement watching various politicos hesitantly approach, then slink away, leaving no evidence.

You need to open a thread on which we can vote on which of those three threads we want to make the official Urban75 General Election Vote thread

Why should you think it's a joke?
If you've done any doorstep canvassing you'll have some understanding of the degree of loathing there is for Corbyn amongst a significant proportion of the electorate.
I had a text conversation with a friend who was canvassing with the Labour candidate in Wyre Forest (a constituency Labour held relatively recently) last night. The slightly jokey conclusion of the canvassing was that, with luck, they'll keep their deposit. The word 'Corbyn' came up in almost every single interaction, with - he reckoned - around a full half of regular/sometimes Labour voters saying that they would not be voting Labour because of Corbyn, and that their vote would be going to the Tories.
If you don't already know that you've not been canvassing, and if you've not been canvassing your opinion doesn't mean shit.

I'm voting purely tactically, which means Labour. I want to see this smirking git out on his ear, and only Labour stand a chance....

Tactical Labour vote here as Tories now targeting this former Labour safe seat due to high Leave vote and UKIP vote that they now see as up for grabs.
Im well aware people loathe corbyn, i'm also well aware voting Tory, unless you're a selfish rich cunt, is a worse choice
