So if I vote for the party that I support in my constituency that has absolutely no chance of getting elected given the electoral system - what does that achieve? By the way my MP has an impeccable voting record on trans rights, Israel, etc. as in he's voting left. How am I supporting bigotry?

I fucking wish he would because I would respect him more. What's the solution? You can shit on me for voting for a progressive liberal left leaning MP all you want - but what's the way forward that lets me vote with my conscience?

I don't want you fucking approval you absolute melt I want to know what to do differently and how to make change because shitting on people and blue sky isn't going to do much regardless of how much that's your hobby.

you clearly do because you're selling us on all your MP's bonafides like we're recruiting. if your Labour MP's doing well, great, but he won't be in Labour for long if he keeps it up. you've gone back and forth between "what can i do on my own" and "what can we as a society do". pick one.

Why do I have to pick one? I like the idea of answers for both questions. I am getting abuse from a whole bunch of people that I align with on issues - because I voted against the Tories. It's easy to shit on people. It's what the Tories and Labour do.

People have explained this to you about a dozen times. Why do you keep asking? And they're not a progressive, liberal left-leaning MP if they're in the Labour Party. They might profess to be, but they're propping up a deeply right-wing government because they value their salary over other people.

Also nobody has explained anything other than somehow I'm a cunt for voting to get rid of the biggest piece of shit Tort cunt that was my MP.

You are probably right but at least they are not a multimillionaire cunt with an heated outdoor swimming pool and at least they vote on the right side of most issues. I can't change the system.
