I stress I'm not angry with you. You got the full barrels because I don't like the emotional blackmail that people died for my vote when my vote is likely to result in policies that won't stop people dying today. I agree this government needs to go. I agree that they shouldn't be written off. But the Labour members voted for a change in the electoral voting system and Starmer vetoed it. That broke me tbh. It all feels like I'm being forced down a route I don't want anymore. Hence my passionate response.
Like I said, I'm angry at politicians and parties. I'm not angry with you or anyone else on this board. But f*ck me if I feel strongarmed by an electoral system and democracy I no longer believe is fit for purpose.
