Labour even though I'm as exasperated as anyone with the infighting, lack of clear policy and general wetness. The current govt and the govt of the last 10 years has been disastrous beyond measure in many ways and I would vote for pretty much anyone to get shot of them.
The most effective govt of my lifetime has been Blair's and despite his flaws (Iraq obvs) and the "red tory" name-calling he is the prime minister who has done the most for the working people of this country in the past 30 years - mostly due to actually getting elected. Ergo, if a left-wing govt isn't an option (and its not with the state of the media in this country) I'll take a centrist Labour govt over a right-wing Tory one. Also, the Corbynites on social media get up my nose with their constant whingeing about Starmer instead of getting after the Tories so I'd like Labour to win to shut them up.
