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

@C4d Oh absolutely and I’m not alone.
FPTP doesn’t allow for nuance, and I agree the subtlety of which you speak is lost, but that’s not the entire point, the points aren’t just the vote, it’s Labour’s knowledge of opinions of the party that also matters, whether mine or a grassroots collective.
Labour do not have to know my intention, only my statement. They can either calculate I’m serious or bluffing. If nothing else the exchanges here will encourage introspection in others. That’s of worth.
