UK Labour are too Tory for me.
I’ve threatened that they’ve lost my vote. (edit)
On LGBTQIA, specifically trans rights.
On their plans for the NHS.
On their plans for health and wealth inequalities in the UK.
On their plans for the relationship the UK has with Europe.
They have to be less Tory to get my vote back.
It’s not acceptable that to not vote Tory, we have to settle for what they offer. They assume their position is acceptable.
If they correct their position, I’ll reconsider

    Yeah I don’t see any point throwing a vote to a party that no longer has any of your interests at heart, if anything it just reinforces their decision if you do that

      @solivine Agreed, but I’d caveat that there are policies that I may find worthy of my vote, it’s just that there are many red lines and more that I’ve spelt out, that I don’t wish to cross.

      @solivine My email has struck a chord and I’ve had a response today. My local Labour parliamentary candidate wants to chat with me. I’ll see what they have to say and report back.

      Because there is a difference between 5 years of bad and 5 years of worse, and not actively voting for the bad party will in most cases give a mathematical advantage to the worse party.
