People in the UK should vote for non-insane representatives, that would be more helpful
Tbf to them it's not their fault that the once leftwing party "randomly" decided to put a boneless liberal right before an election that had them winning for sure
I wonder what lobbies and their media have to say about that magic trick
The alternatives who are most likely to take power:
Farage who will abduct and deport my wife.
The Tories who can see Farage being popular with bigots and aiming to be even more cunty.
If I were British I'd vote for the Greens
Still waiting on that option ๐
Actually.. If every voted libdem that might work
Ah yes, more power to the rich, that ought to fix it
You got Better option?
I love the Greens and their current direction, but they're at the point where they're saying unworkable things to get left wing support, knowing they'll never have to follow through because they won't win enough power.
I'm not familiar with UK parties to be honest, outside of Labour, the two make-rich-people-richer parties and the insanity party I don't even know which parties there are. If I were British I'd vote for the leftmost and most environmentally friendly party I could find. If that is the Greens then that sounds good to me
There's a reason why fringe parties tend to remain on the fringe.
Well, me too.
Sadly they're a long long way from any real power.
That's probably keeping many likeminded people from voting for them. A result of the deeply unfair FPTP voting system. In my country we long ago had a similar system, it resulted in a single party state, until it was reformed to a proportional system.
That would definitely increase both voting and representation for the Greens, yes.
Tactical voting is a big thing in the UK to mitigate some of the imbalance of the FPTP system, along with informal electoral pacts between parties.
Our proportional system isn't bad, but I think Australias ranked choice voting is the best. In my country it's still possible to waste a vote because the party didn't get a single seat. In Australia this never happens. They also make it mandatory to vote, which I want for my country too.
Australia probably has the best system in place for any country, but if you want an even better version of what they have, might I suggest STAR voting or Ranked Robin voting? Alternatively there is also Score voting which is similar, but based on scoring each individual candidate.
All of these three avoid some of the pitfalls that are still in Ranked Choice voting, although all of these are much better than First Past the Post.
I paid all the more attention last vote (Australia).
I'm not thrilled with Labour right now, but it kept Dutton and the regressives out, and kept Palmer's wannabe Trumpism in the dirt.
Our Greens lost a senate seat, which most put down to Gaza support offending the idiotic Jewish segment that think its antisemetic. Then again, I had to wait in line behind asshats going off on transphobic rambles, so the idiocy is everywhere to be fair.
Can't wait for a new government ad from the juice media. So funny! I learned more about 'Straya from their political satire than anywhere else
