I think what you will tolerate shows more about you than what you wont. If you are ok with transphobia, targetting disabled people and arming a genocide involving children im not sure what would put you off a party.

What would put me off any party is an alternative with a real chance of forming a government that was less bad on all the issues I care about. Of the three parties that look like they could form the next government Labour may be the least bad. It's not ideal but politics never is.

If we all drop this big three thinking though we would have a chance at the real change you want. Its for people to work out if they want change or just want to talk about it? I genuinely think #greenparty under @zackpolanski.bsky.social could be that change.

I agree. However until it's clear that they have a shot in my constituency I'll make a judgement on the least worst possible outcomes.

Do you see how saying the numerous unforgivable things Labour are doing is fine as long as you personally aren’t affected makes you look?

I am personally affected but that is by the by. I'll make a judgement closer to the time but right now I suspect more people would be negatively affected by either of the two current realistic alternatives.

Voting for the least bad every election, instead of the best, ensures you will never get the best. Ever. It might take time, but the best coming 4th, then 3rd, then 2nd, at subsequent elections gives them a chance.

If the media is to be believed, we will have a Reform government next. From nowhere. How? Because people voted for them.

Since everything Labour is doing is in addition to what the Tories did, they are definitionally worse. That’s a simple truth that is left out of your analysis.
