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
@uk_politics
And I believe you should do everything to lobby for what you feel is correct - and if that’s left (or north or south or whatever) of Labor, hell yes. I was, indeed, being hyperbolic. (I also saw your edit :-)
Agree or disagree, elections are not fractional representations (at least nowhere I’m aware, for national). There is one winner who gets 100% of the say, so try to be pragmatic on the one day you cast your vote. On the rest, give 'em hell.
@Overzeetop Thanks for the explanatory note and spotting the edit.
I’m all for pragmatic and ultimately GTTO, so chances are I / we will be faced with either voting Tory shit (no chance) or a bit less shit in the shape of a much less than ideal Labour.
Yes, I will try and do what I can to drive an improvement somewhere along the line with whom ever I can that’ll help the concerned collective along. Finding those people might be harder than it needs to be.
@Overzeetop 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.
Holy shit - that’s awesome; I hope they’re receptive!
@Overzeetop
No call yesterday, another email sent to make a telephone appointment, still no policy documents received, or acknowledgement of the email!
@Overzeetop hope so too. I’m planning on having the call going along the lines of dragons den, they’re doing the flogging of an idea, not me!
