I am within a rounding error among the top 1% most liberal progressive people in the country 🤷♀️
My actionable vote almost always goes to the most likely winning left wing candidate, (which has oscillated between Lib Dem, Greens, and Labour thus far).
You don’t need to blame me for anything 😁

This doesn’t change the fact that we’re not exactly a voting block built to win elections.
This is before getting to the issue of geographic spread in FPTP.
Claiming you statistically have more progressive values than 99 of the people around you based on god knows what metric is deeply cringe and worthy of having your opinion completely disregarded.
Saying e.g. I support LGBT+ rights, free school meals, efforts to tackle in equality are likewise imprecise but communicate meaning about the values to which I ascribe.
Top 1% is ~650,000 people.
I had the choice of Johnson and Swinson MPs in 2019. I chose the latter.
I had the choice of May and Cable MPs in 2017. I chose the latter.
In each instance I voted for a candidate in the top 2.
My bad 😅
I’m not upset I’m not actively sought after; the type of voter I am is just not highly worthwhile, young, high earner, grad.
I’m not ashamed of where I grew up, a tory voting leave community.
It’s not my fault for how those people voted, even if I do disagree with them strenuously.
There’s also no point in decrying me when I ostensibly vote for the same goals you want 🤷♀️
