Ok. I mean, it’s entirely valid to highlight the flaws and corruption in our current democratic process. But I fell out with anarchism a very long time ago because it doesn’t really offer any way forward - there’s no guarantee that if we scrapped everything and allowed people to self-organise a replacement way of running society, we wouldn’t end up with the same thing or worse. Plus there’s all the bloodshed involved in scrapping the thing, of course.
TL:DR I’ll probably end up voting for ‘Keith’, my teenage self would have hated me for it and grumbled impotently about the inherent injustice of the world.

For me, nothing is more important than getting the Tories out and I'll vote for anyone who is most likely to do that.
This is the most lying, cheating, corrupt and nasty iteration of Government that I have had any experience of (as an adult). They have completely driven the country into the ground. The only actions they have taken for months, if not years are ones that they know will just drive further division. They are not doing anything with the aim of actual improvements, they're just desperately trying to cling on to power or more likely just limit their losses, because they know cannot win.
They have destroyed everything they have touched, there is absolutely nothing that is working better than it was before the Tories came into power.

I have a dislike of statist centrist social democrats. The bloc vote in Central Scotland is an enabler of this and has clearly shifted back to Labour to be patronised and taken for granted yet again.
