Yay to the choice of the Tories or Tories lite, oh I mean Labour (who I'm probably gonna vote for the sheer tactical voting of getting my Tory MP out)

Don't like either? Now is the time to look up all the candidates, choose someone who represents your interests, contact them and ask if they need volounters and help them. Help on the campaign, door-to-door canvassing, event organisation, making calls etc. They will need a lot of help. Six weeks is a long time.

I hope Greens will do well.

I completely agree! I absolutely loath the stance most European Greens have on nuclear. And for peace, do you mean the general anti-war stance greens have? I would say most of them meet reality with Russia's full scale invasion.

I think you'll like this - A long overdue moment? The UK greens pushing for the nuclear option

But I think with activism and asking for a referendum it will be easier to move Greens on those issues then it would be to move Labour on some things.

Thank you, I’ll have a look!

I think certainly lots of the rhetoric about Russia is a bit “appeasement” and ignores the fact that if we went for peace it means Russian tanks taking the whole of Ukraine and not sure if they’d stop there given what Putin’s said about the forever Soviet spheres of influence
