UK Labour are too Tory for me.

UK Labour are too Tory for me.
I've threatened that they've lost my vote. (edit)
On LGBTQIA, specifically trans rights.
On their plans for the NHS.
On their plans for health and wealth inequalities in the UK.
On their plans for the relationship the UK has with Europe.
They have to be less Tory to get my vote back.
It's not acceptable that to not vote Tory, we have to settle for what they offer. They assume their position is acceptable.
If they correct their position, I'll reconsider

You're viewing a single thread.
The Torys thank you for your abstention, and look forward to enacting policies which enrich themselves at your expense.
@Overzeetop That's another way of accusing me of being a Tory enabler. The point being as I have said elsewhere, is that what I tell labour I will do and what I do, are not their or anyone else's concern.
In the meantime I can lobby for policy change in any way I see fit, as can anyone else, in a democracy as it currently stands.
It isn't a simple dichotomy, despite FPTP."As far as I can ascertain, Conservatives voters fall into one or more of these categories;"
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1690002613842886656.htmlAnd I believe you should do everything to lobby for what you feel is correct - and if that's left (or north or south or whatever) of Labor, hell yes. I was, indeed, being hyperbolic. (I also saw your edit :-)
Agree or disagree, elections are not fractional representations (at least nowhere I'm aware, for national). There is one winner who gets 100% of the say, so try to be pragmatic on the one day you cast your vote. On the rest, give 'em hell.
@Overzeetop My email has struck a chord and I've had a response today. My local Labour parliamentary candidate wants to chat with me. I'll see what they have to say and report back.
Holy shit - that's awesome; I hope they're receptive!
@Overzeetop
No call yesterday, another email sent to make a telephone appointment, still no policy documents received, or acknowledgement of the email!
