I struggle with the idea that 'far better' is putting someone who doesn't believe people in receipt of benefits even deserve even the impression of political representation, never mind actually get it, in charge of the country's economic policy for five years with a Robert Mugabe level majority.
Labour are appalling, from trans rights, to disabled and otherwise vulnerable people, to the NHS, to Gaza. They are little more than rancid.
The idea that the answer is to vote for them and then hold them to account when a) they won't need to listen to you for five years and no opposition would be able to stop them and b) they'll have tangible evidence that ignoring you will just lead to you voting for them when the time comes, is absurd to the point of being frankly insulting.
You have made all those points without evidence and whenever you present evidence you almost always only have half the facts which makes me think it comes from some biased source. Labour have never said they believe people on benefits don’t deserve representation, they have no particular policy on disability that is problematic.
I won’t tolerate the concept that opinion beats facts and I will go head to head with you when you are arguing against facts, but if you think Labour are rancid don’t vote for them, not a problem at all, you have to vote with your heart and your head. I think your perspective is one that when others have done so (including myself when I was younger) led to ushering in a party that kills people, I won’t ever make that mistake again. If you disagree with that then fine, that’s the game when it comes to political debate.
