Tories are obviously fucked but labour are the new tories. I don’t believe in bourgeois electoralism so I’m inclined not to vote at all but would also like to spoil the tories and labour from winning in my constituency. To that end, I’m torn between Green (libs with good climate policies, left of labour but pro-Israel-existence) and Workers Party GB (economically socialist with weird-to-concerning opinions on LGBT+)**. Discuss.
** Workers Party leader Galloway in an interview with Novara media has said he believes all LGBT+ people should be treated with dignity and respect and that he has had many gay and one trans colleague (and used their preferred pronouns) but he has boomerish ideas about what should and should not be taught to children in schools and which changing rooms people should use. It’s not great but could be worse I guess.
Coincidentally Irish local and European elections happened today. I voted for the SocDems and Trots because the SocDems might actually follow through on some reforms and I could really use some funding of mental health, and the Trots piss redditors off. No one who was running was actually good but I really don’t want the two neoliberal parties who have been in power for the entire history of Ireland to win anything
My condolences
