    Honestly Labour has been quiet about the Tories panic promises leading up to the election next year. We know they have been swapping approaches and going back on their own manifesto. The Green party has been making decent promises, however, unlike the Labour party.

      I’d probably vote green if they had any chance of winning, but their opposition to HS2 annoys me. They support building a new north south rail link, but not the one we’re already building.

        Honestly, since Corbyn isn’t in the Labour party, there is no redeeming quality of them deserving a vote. They just became red Tories with a few members being socialist or reformist. I have critical support for the Green party, not only because of their policy promises but because they seem to lean towards socialism far more than Labour is. I still advocate for my own party that we have up here in Scotland but we need to gain major traction still, although a full on revolution of the proles would be ideal at this point like 1919 Battle of George Square but successful.

          Sadly though, at the moment it’s very unlikely any other opposition could beat the Tories. Tory supporters are often stubborn so are unlikely to sway. So the best chance is anti tories have is to go for the lesser of the two evils this time around and vote labour just to get them the fuck out. Then we can hope for bigger change afterwards.
