So disappointed in Labour right now. I was never a huge fan of Corbyn himself, although I agreed with a lot of his views.
I was also quite hopeful about Starmer as a leader, as I was impressed with his his work in opposing Brexit and the government's attempts to force through changes without proper parliamentary scrutiny. But now...
I've voted Labour all my life, but I feel politically homeless right now. Everything they have done or said in the last year or so has made me less inclined to support them. And that's despite the fact that the Tories absolutely, positively MUST be got rid of asagdmfp.
I live in a reasonably safe Lib Dem seat, so it doesn't really make much difference what I do, but it's frustrating nonetheless. I'd like to be able to go into the polling booth and proudly vote Labour because I believe in them. Not right now though.
At the next GE, look out for Swap My Vote. It’s a good option for those in safe seats. You’d, for example, promise to vote Green/Labour in your safe LD seat, so that a Green/Labour voter in a marginal seat would vote LD to get the Tories out. It’s not perfect (especially now we’ve lost the Labour Party), but it could shake things up enough to be worth the compromise!
Hmmm, will check that out, thanks. Tbh, I would just vote Green anyway, except that in Scotland voting Green means voting in favour of independence, and I'm not.
