UK Labour are too Tory for me. - eviltoast

UK Labour are too Tory for me.
I’ve threatened that they’ve lost my vote. (edit)
On LGBTQIA, specifically trans rights.
On their plans for the NHS.
On their plans for health and wealth inequalities in the UK.
On their plans for the relationship the UK has with Europe.
They have to be less Tory to get my vote back.
It’s not acceptable that to not vote Tory, we have to settle for what they offer. They assume their position is acceptable.
If they correct their position, I’ll reconsider

    Just incredible that the Lib Dems are still trying this argument.

    Apart from the reality of their platforms, Ed Davey was literally a cabinet member in a Tory government and was knighted for this service by a Tory Prime Minister.

      Well the fact that when the Tories got a majority of their own they reversed most of what he did in office should be in an indication that he’s not actually one of them.

        So his record is five years of voting for every Tory policy and zero long term achievements?

      Right, so it should be alarming that labour has worse policies than that, right?

        IDK what metric you’re using for ‘worse’. Sure would be alarming if they did, but they don’t.
