They know this - they choose to ignore it.

I was a disillusioned Labour voter who voted Liberal Democrat in 2010. That worked out well!

Apart from a brief Corbyn interlude I have been voting Green as a progressive protest against our Blue Labour since Blair was elected

Exactly. Let the Tories lurch to the right.

Indeed, my vote next time will be a choice between LD an Green. And I have ALWAYS voted Labour. No more.

If you don't mind me asking, I'm curious to know what were the things that have made you vote Labour in the past?

Could ramble further, but I think you’ll get the drift. I just hate ‘unfairness’. And Labour is now letting me down badly.

Thanks for sharing that. Social justice is one of the main reasons I joined the Green Party. I don't think any party has a vision for a more just society that's better than the Greens.

Interesting question. A combination of things, really. My Grandfather fought in the Somme, and was a very active union man in the 1926 general strike, and his socialism and commitment to ‘fairness’ is in my genes, I suppose. I hate the right wing, xenophobia, greed and social injustice.
