if our resident anarchist(s) had had their way 08:10 - Jul 5 with 4705 views | positivity | and a few hundred thousand progressive voters had stayed at home instead of voting labour, liberal and green. we could have been looking forward to a rose garden love-in with sunak and deputy farage/ promises of the rwanda flights taking off imminently/ scrapping of the last few green targets and slashing in net zero funding/ tax breaks for public schools/ tax breaks for non doms/ continued increase in sewage leaks/ slashing of the welfare budget/ continued rises in nhs waiting lists etc etc etc etc i'm glad we live in our world!

Would you rather have had a conservative government again? Probably boosted by Reform? Personally I could not face that. |  |

I respect your views bankster, but I’m not clear on what you wanted. Do you want PR? And even if you don’t like Starmer, isn’t there enough progressive policies in say the Liberal party or the Greens to vote for? The liberals have promoted better social care and cleaning up the environment. Even if they maybe don’t go as far as you’d like, aren’t they decent values that you’d rather support than not vote?

We have a two party system, the red team and the blue team. The red team may be a bit better than the blue team currently, but if you don't particularly like either team then you are entirely discounted. FWIW I think the old boss was the most despicable PM in my lifetime, but honestly, I'm not very inspired by the new one either. |  |

Well of course not but there is a bigger picture with serious consequences in the long term. |  |

In terms of national policy a vote for the Greens (and LD's) is always going to be a wasted vote as it stands. If there was PR with a NOTA option I would get involved. |  |

But Waveney shows that’s not the case and big turn overs can happen. |  |

The long term consequences with that ramshackle bunch of corrupt, dishonest, incompetent charlatans in charge again would have been worse. The first step was getting them out. The next step is to promote genuine progressive politics, which will be possible now in a way that it would not have been with the other outcome. |  |

UNder PR a vote for LD or Greens would not be wasted. Under PR this time they would almost certainly be in government alongside Labour. |  |

They are not all the same, that is the last desperate argument of a loser. Might as well vote for us because we are all the same. This Labour is certainly closer to the Tories than I would like, but it is not the same as what we have had to endure for the last 14 years. |  |
