Don’t get me wrong, I will probably cave at the last minute and vote SNP again for a number of reasons. Mostly, being supportive of a number of their progressive policies that I have benefited from over the years, and also because my constituency is a two horse race between them and the Tories who I will never vote for. Though the SNP are probably now at their lowest point in years since they finally managed to oust Sturgeon.
I will also never vote Labour, they have no identity here and during the 2019 election they were campaigning for the Tories to oust SNP here, so 100% fuck them too.
I once voted for Lib Dem and we ended up with the catastrophic Clegg/Cameron coalition (though due to FPTP my vote didn’t matter there.)
I would like to vote for Green, but it would be a wasted vote here.
It’s just bizarre to me that Westminster’s voting system is such that a vast majority of votes in the UK are binned, how is this considered normal?
Sorry for the rant, but I am just so incredibly disillusioned with politics in this shitehole of a country but absolutely refuse to be passive about it since that is what they want us to be.
Absolutely not. I’ll be voting for whoever has the best chance of keeping the Tories out of my constituency. That’s probably the SNP, but if it’s Labour I’ll damn well vote Labour. I’d take a lack of identity over all this in a heartbeat.
Witnessing Labour campaigning for the Tories sealed that decision for me for life. 100% fuck them, Red tory cunts.
Lesser of 2 evils when it comes to Westminster. But I won’t vote for them, and fortunately I’m in a constituency where Labour have never won, and have absolutely zero presence regardless. Their local branch building is essentially a shed.
It’s your vote to do with as you wish, obviously, but for so long as we’re voting in an FPTP system then getting the lesser of two evils is the top priority. It’s nice if that actually means voting for a party you are happy to vote for, but I’d even vote Tory if the alternative was a Reform government. Fortunately we’re not in a situation that’s quite as bad as that.
Don’t get me wrong, if it was the situation where I had to pick between Labour or Tory then obviously I would be forced to vote Labour. But fortunately I’m not in that predicament.
