In general, politically, right now, little does for me; either strategically or tactically.
Have been trying to decide how to vote at the local elections tomorrow but there's so scant commitment here (locally, on issues other than vague hand waving / 'we're committed to..' platitudes as likely you could nail to a wall as jelly) online (and there's been zero canvassing and not a single leaflet drop) that it's almost impossible to see what candidates are standing for. And I've tried to find out.
I suspect that apathy here (S. Oxfordshire, majority Tory, unlikely to change but with a kicking) will result in a super-low turnout and stasis.
Tory / Labour not wanting to engage ('If we don't mention 'B...' until afterwards and hope a deal gets agreed before we need the Euro elections debacle) will open the door to hopefully a Green swing. Hopefully not more right-wingers. Actually not all that hopeful here. Depressing times.
