    Let's see if we predict tomorrow's election result as accurately as we did the EU referendum. Open to all - those who don't have a vote, please say how you would vote if you could.

    My seat will probably have a larger vote for Lab + Lib combined than the Tories. If I knew who had the best chance out of those two I'd go tactically with them, but will probably go Lib.

    I'm voting Labour in a massively safe Tory seat.

    As said before ...this poll does not apply to me.As I am in the Speakers constituency (John Bercow...Tory).
    So should I vote for Tory, UKIP, independant or Green....as the major parties do not put a candidate against the speaker.
    So Scot Raven, is our Independant candidate...whose manifesto says...."This outdated and burdensome tradition has meant that we have had no say on major political issues, and if Mr Bercow is re-elected, we will not get an input into how our country is shaped as we negotiate to leave the EU."

    So it maybe Mr Raven I vote for. So I have no choice but to go others......but you probably all know who I would vote for if I had the choice

    We need a direct voting system where every vote counts. It's not right that 4 million people vote UKIP and they get one MP. Unless you are a true blue Tory (the system works very well for you) you should be pressing for change. It needs the Labour party to stand up for STV - but they've shown themselves to be just as power hungry as their blue rivals.

    Can't vote Lib since they're Remain. Green are batty tree-huggers, UKIP are just batty. A Labour vote means a vote for the IRA supporters, a white flag waved at Juncker's oncoming army, a victorious return for Diane Abbott, an unworkable coalition dominated by Nicola Sturgeon and bankruptcy.

    I don't have any great love for May (although I don't think she's as bad as some parts of the media have made out) but I do like David Davis and think he's our man to stand up to the EU bullies. Our best chance of reaching agreement that suits both the UK and the EU.

    I'd vote Tory as Corbyn's spending plans are a recipe for bankruptcy.....

    Unlike in the real poll, you can vote for whoever you like on here Beth. You can change your vote if you so choose.

    I am going Tory. If I am honest, I have always voted that way and I see no reason to change. For no other reason this time than because I think they are the best of a bad lot. A damning indictment on all the current parties. It will be close but I think the Tories will get in and as soon as possible get rid of May. The sooner we get someone leading this country who will but Britons first (no matter what ethnic background), the better!

    Misunderstood...thought it meant "How will you vote"...and I am convincing myself to vote independant....(as above)....
    My father always said that as a woman I should honour the suffragettes who died and were imprisioned to get ME the vote..and I should always exert that right....and I will tomorrow, fruitless and meaningless as it will be

    Here I will think about changing my vote

    Yes, probably should have said 'how will/would you vote' as it's open to members overseas.

    May is going to sack/move Davies and replace him with Ben Gummer after the election.

    I still haven't made up my mind, might not until I'm in the polling station, spoilt ballot leading the pack at the moment. Probably followed by Green. A few more votes for no hopers might spark a review of the archaic voting system. But probably not in my lifetime.

    I'm seriously disappointed at the lack of Official Monster Raving Loonies standing in London, only two seats being contested and one of them is Islington South, Jezza's seat, so no chance as he's an even bigger loony than the official one.

    Croydon North is solid Labour so I find myself veering towards a spoilt paper, May has been unbelieveably poor, Farron is an arse and the rest are not worth a toss, even the Independent is called Lee Berks, says it all...

    I doubt she'll move Davis, he's done fine so far. Gummer is a bright youngster but lacks the gravitas for that role.

    I wouldn't be surprised if May is cast aside for Davis to take over as leader.

    I clicked on 'other' but could just as easily be 'can't be arsed' or 'dirty protest on the ballot paper'.
