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?)
Now, I don't know much about British politics, but it's pretty cool that y'all have a labor party (or labuor as you would say). They must be pretty good, right?
yeah this is the first general election i've been old enough to vote in. i didn't realise just how fucking bleak it is
If it makes you feel any better I'm old as fuck, remember voting in '97 and this is the worst selection of options there's ever been. So it's not just you.
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.
Currently planning to spoil my ballot with a vote for Jez. WPB have also described themselves as patriotic socialists which is more than a little
i wanted to vote northern independence but we don't have a candidate here
we are objectively northern wtf
