abelfenty Posted June 13 Posted June 13 (edited) The Greens wanting a ban on domestic flights while simultaneously being anti-HS2, then wanting to phase nuclear power while advocating for a better environment The jokes write themself Edited June 13 by abelfenty 3 1
Thickorita Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Yeah the Greens manifesto is a bomb. Obviously they're right on the social issues but everything else is just serving let's just export our emissions abroad without giving it a second thought. The Lib Dems surprisingly have the best manifesto
tbhmatt Posted June 13 Posted June 13 So girlies, what are we saying? Lib Dems or Greens? Both parties have their faults but these are the only two options for me that are pledging for real, actual change… at the moment I'm undecided. The Labour party under Keir Starmer are no better than the Tories, so I won't be voting for them. (I live in a healthy Labour majority seat so realistically my vote isn't going to change much but I want to put my support behind a party that actually stands for something different) 1
abelfenty Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Daisy Cooper was great on the ITV debate tonight. It's either Lib Dems or SNP for me
KFC Posted June 14 Posted June 14 Are Sunak and Starmer really having a war in the media right now over who had the more working class background growing up?
ATRL Moderator Unoriginal Posted June 15 ATRL Moderator Posted June 15 Labour have a right-wing manifesto Greens are anti-public transport I can never trust the Lib Dems following the coalition Vote for your local progressive independent candidates! 3
John Slayne Posted June 16 Posted June 16 (edited) the Green manifesto is still the best by a large margin. don't be easily swayed by twitter libs who are telling you that 'Greens oppose HS2', literally a quick google search will tell you they have no talked about it in years. their 2024 manifesto includes pledges for publicly owned railways, re-opening old rail lines, and investing in electrification of the rails. even the ban on domestic flights only includes 'flights that would take less than 3 hours by train', not a blanket ban on all domestic flights. please read the manifesto and make up your own mind. vote for someone who shares your values and who you think would actually be a good representative, not a faceless Labour candidate that is going to give us 5 more years of austerity. all that's going to do is set up Tories/Reform to return big in 2029.

Why Posted June 18 Posted June 18 Labours manifesto is a bomb Greens manifesto is a bomb Looks like I'm forgiving the Lib Dem's and voting for them, as they're somehow and for the first time the only party with good policies

John Slayne Posted June 21 Posted June 21 the way Tories have ran out of excuses and all they can say is "b-b-but Labour will raise your taxes!" like just listening to Rishi right now and you can feel the desperation. it'd be sad if they weren't so nasty
glitch Posted June 22 Posted June 22 I'm kinda cackling at JK Rowling saying she won't vote for the labour party because of their stance on trans issues, whilst progressives and LGBT folk feel as though labour aren't doing enough for trans people. She's so delulu It's kinda giving right wingers saying the BBC is too left wing, when it's chaired by a former Tory councillor and the platforming of people like L*ura K*nnesb*rg just shows how right wing they actually are 4

John Slayne Posted June 23 Posted June 23 the gap between tories and reform narrowing every day i still think reform will flop on election day but i bet tories are scrambling right now. the betting scandal was just the final nail in the coffin
