they all seem so fucking useless. only the sinn féin/SNP seem even vaguely based and i can't vote for them.

on the "left" in my area we have a candidate for labour, green, lib dem, social democratic party, and the worker's party. ngl i didn't know those last two even existed.

i was going to vote workers party, because they're ostensibly socialists and they're the only party that's loud about supporting Palestine, but apparently they have some sus views on lgbt people and climate change :doomjak:

so then what? the soc dems and greens seem pretty limp, the lib dems are liberals (and fucked their entire voter base last time they were in lmao), and labour are fucking open blairites now. honestly at this point i'm back around to feeling like, since they'll never get any power anyway, the most impactful thing i can do is to vote for the worker's party anyway just to send a message on palestine ukkk isntrael

UK comrades, who are you voting for? (or are you not voting?)

        If it makes you feel any better I'm old as fuck, remember voting in '97 and this is the worst selection of options there's ever been. So it's not just you.
