they all seem so fucking useless. only the sinn féin/SNP seem even vaguely based and i can’t vote for them.
on the “left” in my area we have a candidate for labour, green, lib dem, social democratic party, and the worker’s party. ngl i didn’t know those last two even existed.
i was going to vote workers party, because they’re ostensibly socialists and they’re the only party that’s loud about supporting Palestine, but apparently they have some sus views on lgbt people and climate change :doomjak:
so then what? the soc dems and greens seem pretty limp, the lib dems are liberals (and fucked their entire voter base last time they were in lmao), and labour are fucking open blairites now. honestly at this point i’m back around to feeling like, since they’ll never get any power anyway, the most impactful thing i can do is to vote for the worker’s party anyway just to send a message on palestine 
UK comrades, who are you voting for? (or are you not voting?)
I’m voting Plaid Cymru. Plaid tend to be a bit of a mixed bag in terms of political alignment due to being primarily a republican/nationalist party, but they’ve been outflanking labour from the left (even in the senedd where labour tends at its furthest left) and holding them to account a lot better than other opposition parties.
I’m expecting labour to win and continue the tories’ policies, so smaller more soccdem parties like Plaid gaining seats might help reduce the harm they cause (especially in regards to trans rights, where labour has gone full Rowling).
Also helps that their candidate is a local lad while everyone else except the labour incumbent (who’s a massive dickhead) have been parachuted in from elsewhere.
