    I honestly don't think the average person in britain gives enough of a fuck for this to be a vote winner.

    Pensions, benefits, inheritance(tax), the workplace, and migration are the points brits give a shit about.

      They're trying to court the Qanon nuts. The 15 minute city concept has been turned into: "they'll ban cars implement permanent lockdowns where you're not allowed to leave your 15 minute city ever again."

      Pretty sure the fossil fuel industry is behind pushing that particular conspiracy.

        Exactly right. It's the fossil fuel industry behind it, trying to pretend it's a grass-roots thing so people think the opposition is organic. Plenty of fools buying into it though.
