    That's pretty much what this does. Tactical voting laid on a plate.
    https://stopthetories.vote if you’re not voting Tory then give this a try!

    Yeah Alex Sobel. Very good MP. I've met him several times. I'd say he's more left than Reeves and despite being Jewish is very much pro Palestine, i.e. pro the 2 state solution & an end to hostilities. His kid was at Allerton Grange school, proper down to earth bloke, who has sorted out a few homeless people I've come across in Headingley who needed help.

    how come "they're all as bad as each other" is only ever used by the right wing to justify voting for the right wing parties?

    It's almost as if they know that they're wrong for voting who they do but want to justify it by saying "i know they're scum but so are the others"

    You never hear anyone saying"I'm voting labour because I agree with reforms policies but they're all as bad as each other so I'm voting labour ". It's ALWAYS the right wing.

    So come on, why aren't you voting for them because you believe they are GOOD? Why is it always because you think the others are as BAD as them?

    Latest YouGov predictions are showing Reform on 3 seats, Farage in Clacton, 30p Lee in Ashfield and Rupert Lowe (ex Southampton chairman) in Great Yarmouth. Hopefully the fascists then implode as that's hardly changing the face of politics.

    Enjoy the day t'morra, whoever wins they wont be any better or worse than the rest, first thing on the agenda will be a pay rise. an then move all their assets abroad to avoid the tax's, an the rest of us will still be buying six eggs instead of a dozen, an sending the kids to school with half a lunchbox instead of a full un. Nothings gunner change. watch this space.

    The amount of times when the lefty brigade start a discussion with.. 'but what about'.. it's almost the same thing and will defend anyone under that lefty umbrella blindly.

    It's always the far lefties that just resort to name calling because they have no real viable alternative viewpoints so just get angry and paste everyone with the same brush.

    I certainly sit in the centre ground of politics, but like some right wing policies but also some of those from the left. Even liked some of Corbyns but certainly not all of his ideologies.

    Sometimes as well you have to play a bit of devil's advocate to start a discussion. Must say when I do that nearly 100% of the time it's the lefty brigade that start at name calling etc.

    So I guess it works both ways, depending on how you look at it.

    The new government may not give me everything I want, but I'm damned sure I'd rather exist under a Labour government of any shade than a tory one.

    Stupid, Selfish or Racist (to be fair that is a subset of stupid)

    Every reform voter falls into at least 1 of these categories. No exceptions.

    Me too but then again i thought the idea was to put somebody in the wheelhouse to make things better for everyone, we both know thats impossible because everyone of us are needy of different things.

    I said that about the last Tory government. They come under 4 categories.

    1. Rich.
    2. Selfish.
    3. Thick.
    4. Racist.

    You get overlap in 1 and 2. Also 3 and 4. Sometimes 1,3 and 4. If you fall under 1,2,3 and 4 then you got a job in the cabinet.

    Most of the above have defected to Reform now though.

    I diagree with #1. Anyone in that category who would vote for the Tories or Reform automatically fall into selfish. Same with racist and stupid though, so i guess its just selfish or stupid are the groups

    For anyone intending to vote for Reform Limited company candidate David White, just remember that he cres so much about reforms policies and is such an obviously intelligent person that this is his personal Facebook page

    Note the link on HIS Facebook page. CONSERVATIVE candidate...

    Feel free to vote who you wish for… just a reminder Tommy Robinson, Britain First, Patriotic Alternative and Homeland all urge their supporters to vote for Nigel Farage’s Reform Party. One says the BNP's old leaflets “were actually markedly tamer than Farage’s current rhetoric.”

    the above won’t matter though, I’ll wager everything I own not one voter who votes for deform cares. They think the same. They are the same.

    I’m not voting. Since 2011, I’ve struggled with depression, long covid and now an ocular cancer diagnosis and treatment.

    During that time I’ve lost months, adding up to years of work, and being self employed, you don’t work, you don’t earn.

    I don’t feel any government has a plan to help such as me. Go to the docs, have a chat, change your meds, rinse and repeat, is the best you can hope for unless things get bad enough for you to jump off a bridge.

    I’ll be very surprised if this changes with an incoming incumbent.
