yknow i thought the whole ‘personal connection’ thing to politicians was kinda bullshit but my dad just told me the only reason he’s voting labour is bc keir starmer said he wasn’t working after 6pm on fridays to spend time with his kids and he respects that

#he’s never voted before in a general election and thinks they’re all bullshit #and he’s not wrong!#he always said if he was gonna vote for someone it’d be green but they have no chance at winning here #but man that? that’s what gets you to vote? from keir fucking starmer of all people??#I think I forget how disaffected most people are at this point #and how little attention a lot of people actually give to the stuff happening #I watched the debate a few days ago and it was a nightmare. I hadn’t properly watched political debates like that before #the whole time I was just oh my god shut up it’s so obvious what they’re trying to do. but apparently that works!#maybe politicians do things for a reason actually and aren’t always as horrifically out of touch as it looks #idk man there’s nothing like an election to make you remember how absolutely fucked your country is #reform isn’t gonna win here but they have a good chunk of support and just. why. I’m not surprised. but oh my god why #I should be grateful they’re the only reason labour will win here but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#anyway point of this post is huh maybe ed davies is onto something #with any luck this election will get a bunch more support behind green in other parts of the country so they start having a shot elsewhere #I gotta look into the electoral reform stuff more #bc fucking hell we’re not getting anywhere until at least we get that (which is unlikely but actually possible under labour! maybe!)#but we kinda do not have time to keep fucking around <3 #<- is always thinking about climate change #luke.txt
