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.

Oh I 100% agree with you. Last thing I want is to contribute to making our current reality worse by failing to use the limited levers I have to try to make things better, just because the options on the table don’t match up to my hopes and dreams.

I've never been a Labour Party member, and as someone who self-identifies as a Centerist Dad, it's not my natural home. I have never participated in politics. However, since a bit before Truss came in I've been planning to volunteer come the next election.
I can't put into words the visceral hatred I have towards these people and what they've done to our country over the last 13yrs.

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.
