   Best sense I've been able to make of it is 'having to' vote for Starmer's Labour in seats where they can/will get rid of a Tory. Aside from that, if the tactical vote is Lib Dem or another semi-progressive party that kicks Starmer into touch, so be it. But crucially Greens could win 4+ seats if we keep those voters motivated!

     @media_dept if my postal vote arrives in time, I suppose I'll hold my nose and do it, but I'm unbelievably uncomfortable with Labour's engagement with trans eliminationist rhetoric. Turkeys, Christmas, etc.

     I'm not planning on living in the UK again any time soon, but am concerned for my peers. But there's no amount of harm reduction voting that'll fix this.

     @HauntedOwlbear its been difficult. No party is completely appealing & Labour in particular have strayed. Greens remain the sensible choice but are largely unelectable in a 2 party system 😔
     Though not a happy choice its easy as i've a far-right Tory with huge majority to be rid of & statistically Lab is their only foe. Been Green supporter since 80s but have to vote Lab to beat a literal Nazi. If it looks like support for a right-leaning, flawed Labour party then its how it'll have to look. 😒

     @media_dept yeah, the Tories would only do the same thing, and with less opposition from within the party. It just feels awful.

     @media_dept yeah, I'm in France right now, so I feel you on the Nazi front.

     My home country is only avoiding this so far because there's an old school nonaligned group era communist party holding down the "these are our traditional values" side of the debate and generally being the adults in the room.

     @HauntedOwlbear it is awful but it seems job one is now to keep actual neo-nazis from gaining seats with some predictions saying 'ReformUK' could win 15 seats. Hearing about Biden's 'debate' isn't reassuring across the pond neither. 🙄
