    I’m likely voting Labour (swing county), but I want the door to door campaigners to know that I’m voting Green, just to rattle them a little

        Until FPTP is abolished, I still have to vote tactically to keep Reform out.

        I’m not a WASP, and my love of the Greens is outweighed by my fear of Farage. Call me whatever you like.

        We get them a lot. Haven’t seen Reform yet, though, their chances in our ward are close to nil. Did meet the Tory candidate, she doesn’t stand a cat’s chance in hell either. If her party’s policies weren’t so odious, I’d feel sorry for her. I told her I’d never vote for her party. I already knew the Green canvassers from the pub, and I see the Labour people trying to hand out leaflets in the city centre now and then. They’re typical municpal Labour centrists in the pockets of developers and high-street businesses. The Reform candidate is yet another racist ratbag with no discernible local ties, though I might have seen him a few months ago in the small bused-in crowd that was trying to stir up shit in the city centre, only to leave soon after due to a many times larger counter-demonstration. It could have gone worse for them: some of the local shopkeepers had stockpiled bricks on their roof, just in case things kicked off. Don’t attempt racist violence against Romanians, Kurds and Turks, they fight back.
