So, what are your voting intentions for next month's GE?

I know we have the occasional poll in this sub, but now that it looks like a GE is finally upon us, I thought it might be interesting to hear what everyone's actual voting intentions are.

Will you be voting tactically to keep a certain party out? Will you vote with your conscience? What are the main drivers and priorities for your vote?

Have you made up your mind already or will you be waiting for the election manifestos and the naming of the candidates? Are you planning to spoil your ballot?

Does it not matter how you vote, because you are in some party's stronghold? Are you in a much-coveted marginal constituency? Have you got a feeling of what the mood "on the ground" is where you live? What do you think about your potential MP (I appreciate not everyone will feel comfortable disclosing where they live, so by all means, don't).

Let's try to be fair to each other. Voting intentions are a deeply personal thing and people have a right to their opinions. We know that this sub tends to lean in a certain direction, but that doesn't mean that anyone's opinions are necessarily better or worse than others.

EDIT: As a count of top-level replies after about an hour, we have CON 15, LIB 14, LAB 11.5, SNP 2, BXP 2, GRN 1.5, MRLP 1. I'm honestly (positively) surprised by the broad range of responses.

EDIT 2: Another quick vote tally after two hours: LIB 24, LAB 22, CON 21, GRN 5.5, SNP 3, BXP 2, PC 1, MRLP 1, YSP 1

EDIT 3: And a final vote count before I retire for the night: LIB 32.5, CON 25.5, LAB 25, GRN 6.5, SNP 4, BXP 2, PC 1, MRLP 1, YSP 1. Thanks for all your replies. It's been really interesting.
