I have said many times that I have voted for the LibDems until Clegg handed power to Cameron. The last 2 elections I voted Labour tactically. This election I shall be voting Labour both tactically and because I think Starmer will make the best PM out of what we have to choose from. You try and turn that into some kind of endorsement of raging pinko politics but that is only in your warped imagination. Little wonder Farage has you in his thrall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you heard this, but the Today podcast had some bloke on there explaining that the Aussies in charge of the Tory campaign have put the 'no plan stuff' at the heart of the Tory campaign. They lifted it straight out of the Aussie Aboriginal rights referendum. It's meant to focus on Sunaks future plan and not the Tory past that includes the Truss's disaster.
