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.

Always been interested in politics and government, but never been a member of a party. I've voted Labour, Lib Dem and Greens over the years in parliamentary and local elections depending on who the candidate was, what the local issues were or who was most likely to beat the Tories (albeit in a safe Tory seat and one were the current Tory mayor of the borough lives about 6 doors down the road - he is a nice guy to be fair).
I've thought about getting involved, but I don't think i could be part of a party machine and bite the bullet to toe a party line on something I just don't agree with.
These Tories have been dismantling democracy before our eyes:
Deliberately lying to parliament, lying to the Queen to prorogue parliament, diluting the power of the courts to oversee government, restricting the right to protest (even making protest a thought crime in some cases) and disenfranchising voters (in an attempt to gerrymander an election). Its a slippery slope.

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.
