OK,

Since 1971 I have always voted for the Conservative party, a Margaret Thatcher fan (Although she did have her faults), but I am now totally disillusioned with this shower of s

t who go from crisis to crisis,( I do have a certain amount of sympathy with them because they did have covid19 to deal with, which must have been a nightmare)...but now I have had enough.

Liz Truss and that idiotic chancellor was the last straw.

Now I know Starmer is rather bland and doesn't seem to come up with any policies. just criticise the Tories all the time and I used to hate Angela Rayner but I am coming round to thinking she is OK, talks a lot of sense, even though she lets her mouth get carried away a bit, but time for a new broom?

Thoughts?

I stopped reading when you said you were a Thatcherite haha. I’d carry on supporting the Cons if I were you. They’re doing a great job
 
Disclaimer, I am not a Labour supporter, though I might vote for them at the next election. I’ll be voting tactically to get the aforementioned incumbent shower of shit as far from office as possible.

I would say I absolutely don’t get this argument that Starmer has no policies. Well… it’s nearly two years until the next election… what good would it do him to trot out all of his policies now? It would just give the Conservatives two years to poke holes in them and prepare their election campaign. He’ll release them in an election manifesto. I would advise that is the point at which you should decide who to vote for. And yes many will argue that election manifestos aren’t worth the paper they’re written on - but I would suggest that it is still the best way to judge your philosophical alignment, even if practical reality leads to some policies not happening.

That aside, Starmer actually does come up with the odd policy when it is topical. And then half the time the Tories steal the policy in all but name - which kind of proves my point around it being too soon to release anything substantial.

I have made a spell that anyone voting Tory or Labour gets gout until they redeem themselves at a future general election.

Just letting you know so you can't complain about the minimum 4 year excruciating pain.

No.

Just do it. In simple terms, we need a change. It has been unhealthy having the Conservatives in power this long, and Labour have an electable leadership now.
