minus-square@galmuth@feddit.uklinkfedilink28•10 months agoThis is so fucking disappointing. Labour are already running high in the polls but are busy running around giving me reasons to not vote for them. I can’t imagine anyone would be compelled to vote for them based on this either, except the super-rich. Announcing this shit is so utterly pointless. I voted for the Lib Dems during the New Labour years and it looks like I’m heading back that way.
minus-square@Whelks_chance@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•10 months agoNo idea how lib dem is somehow a better option here. Have they said they will impose a wealth tax?
minus-square@galmuth@feddit.uklinkfedilink4•10 months agoObviously we don’t know the Lib Dem manifesto for the next election yet but they’ve been touting wealth taxes for years.
minus-square@Whelks_chance@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink5•10 months agoIf they have a chance of beating the Tories in your area, I guess go for it. But for me that’s the goal, get rid of them and rebuild.
minus-square@SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uklinkfedilink2•10 months agoSame here. There’s a website that allows you to easily check who you should vote for to out the Tories. My constituency has been labour for 16+ years so I could safely vote for Lib Dems if I wanted to. It was called something like “stop the tories”.
