#maybe I’m being pessimistic bc their plans for clean energy if they actually do them could be huge especially if they manage it by 2030.

this election feels so hollow even though it’s likely ostensibly gonna be a good outcome. labour really just sucks fucking ass rn huh
#if the tories lose bad enough to make lib dems the opposition though… a guy can hope
#I think it’s the fact that this is the first general election I can vote in that’s making me lose my mind a little here
#I have done basically nothing but read today. I DO know a whole bunch more abt voting systems and the nightmare the tories have been now tho
#I’m just kinda like. okay so what happens next? bc labour WILL do some decent shit but they also. fucking suck.
#planning to look into the local green party once I’m back at uni bc I could actually do stuff there
#I think I’m just dealing with a little bit of whiplash going from doing a biology degree where Everything is about climate change
#like unambiguously it gets brought up in every topic (I DO focus on ecology and agricultural stuff and not like genetics but still)
#clear consensus from literally everyone you talk to that shit has to happen right the fuck now.
#it’s not even like I’m unaware of the state of policy rn I KNOW it’s a nightmare to do anything but we at least TALK about it
#and then this election where it’s barely a footnote. biggest thing is the sewage dumping everyone’s talking about and yeah fucking finally
#but is that all you’ve got?? the labour manifesto is bleak. it has a section and the stuff they’re proposing isn’t bad but it’s so little
#and yeah no they’ve changed the official line on the manifesto to ‘make Britain a clean energy superpower’
#I SWEAR it was different a few days ago
#maybe I’m being pessimistic bc their plans for clean energy if they actually do them could be huge especially if they manage it by 2030.
#it’s just that I know what the targets are and they’re already pulling back on shit like EVs bc of the shift right and I am So Tired
#two party politics is a curse. as much as reform is an actual nightmare them getting a decent vote share might actually be the thing that
#gets people talking abt proportional representation again bc they are nothing if not good at being loud
#did you know we had a fucking referendum in 2011 bc what the fuck. and it went SO BADLY even though people generally supported it
#god idk I think I’m once again being naively optimistic about people and election coverage has been very good at knocking me down a bit
#people generally are good. I have to believe this. but man the british public is making that really fucking hard
#genuinely I think a good chunk of that is down to first past the post driving politics to be divisive and aggressive
#like is it the only problem? fuck no. but it’s definitely poisoning the way this shit goes bc when all the parties do is jab at each other
#what are we actually doing here
#idk I’m gonna stop now but this is taking up a ridiculous amount of bandwidth rn I can’t wait for it to be over
#already dreading what the next election could look like in 4 years if starmer continues to suck ass bc I don’t trust him to not like at all
#luke.txt
#I said i was done but I just looked at the lib dem manifesto and oh my god it’s actually pretty good on this? holy fucking shit
