Things have moved on since the election, it has nothing to do this thread and I have no idea why it’s so important to you to know how Swale voted.
As a matter of fact I ended up voting Labour. Not out of any feeling of solidarity with Corbyn - who I believe to be a decent man but a poor leader - but because, having apparently ‘wasted’ my vote on the Liberals in the local elections last May, Labour offered a better chance of overcoming the Tory and thus...Brexit.
As it happened that was the right decision but, as is ever the case in my constituency, we still lost.
My vote is always likely to be of the ‘centre Left’ variety, fluctuating between Labour and the Lib Dems as it stands depending on the nature of the candidate, the leader and the direction that each party is taking.
I expect Keir Starmer to take control of the Labour Party very soon and if that’s the case I’ll be delighted. Wouldn’t mind Lisa Nandy either.
You’re quite right I did have respect, possibly misplaced, for Vince Cable but I changed my mind, and I’ve no idea what ‘voicing an affront’ for him means.
Anyway, that’s where I stand. Couldn’t actually care less how you voted and as for Swale...it’s a secret ballot...his business not yours (or mine) and all water under the bridge imo.
