Friends don't let friends vote for bigots: Vote Green or LibDem.

And most RW voters will probably vote Reform, anyway

In not sure labour is cultivating support from the right, I’m very confident they are loosing mass support from those of us left of centre.

wohyeahwohyeah.bsky.social•28 days ago

All the stats seem to back the up. The centre and the left is fragmenting because Labour are pushing them away.

Agree. Vote Green, but don't vote LibDem. They are almost as bad as the Tories, despite their positive stance on the EU. Remember the Tory/LibDem coalition??

That was bad, but it's historic thing now. Yes, it was horrible, but it's no longer their policy.

It's almost like you judged current Labour policy yelling "do you remember Corbyn? What about Blair?!"

It doesn't make sense now.

It wasn't policy at the time! I clearly remember Clegg on telly the day before the election saying that they wouldn't get into bed with the Tories. 🤨

Hate Corbyn (anti-EU) but loved his policies and voted for him. Blair is a charletan and should shut up and go away. Have experienced the LibDems in local government and they were total rubbish. Nimbies, kow-towing to big business.

As a Labour voter, from along line of Labour voters, members and councillors, I’m honestly struggling right now to see if the direction of travel resembles anything I was brought up to value.

No votes in my area but I would always vote Greens and a proud member

True

It is extremely disappointing that the only parties that look at evidence bases for policy are not close to power.

Sadly that is exactly what people did and by dividing the left let in the bigots - but I blame Labour for not being brave enough in bringing change - sustainability and fairness

... and in 1926, Plaid Cymru and SNP

It's almost as if Labour were being funded by big businesses whose interests don't align with traditional Labour values. Starmer clearly doesn't see that the cab rank rule doesn't (shouldn't) apply to politicians.

No, vote Green or independent socialist, why would anyone vote for the yellow Tories ? As opposed to the red, blue or reform Tories

antonyillahiwarren.bsky.social•28 days ago

I think Labour is dead. Voters won't vote for a dead horse, so there's no point flogging it. Vote Green for real change we can believe in. #GetGreensElected

sirkidstarversucks.bsky.social•28 days ago

I've voted Greens 💚 and will light up my BBQ using the Labour flyers dropped through the door

Lib Dems? Local Lib Dems took over our council with the help of disgraced Tory Councillors one was a convicted puppy farmer!
