Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
General Election: Anyone Still Undecided?
Most of us have a very limited range of choices in Thursday's General Election. From my recent posts on this site it's clear I don't want to vote Tory. Nor do I want to vote for a pro-genocide candidate. Which is what we'll get with Starmer. And as he has told us Labour now belongs to him. And anyone caught breathing out-of-tune can get purged. So does it matter that Starmer isn't on the ballot form? Won't Haringey's MPs be following Keir's 3-Ems? Murder-Mutilation-Malnutrition?
I used to have a poster printed by Islington Anarchists. But that would be a cop-out. Anyone else in a similar predicament?

It's Reform for me.
I don't expect them to win but their success will encourage the new Government to address the root cause of so many of the country's problems. It's not immigration. It's uncontrolled immigration!
Several million new arrivals started by Blair and continued by the Conservatives has used up all the available housing stock, stretched our schools and health services to breaking point and diluted our cultural cohesion.
Immigration needs to be limited to highly skilled and in-demand occupations, genuine time-bound international students and a small number of genuine refugees who apply via the correct channels from the first safe country they arrive in once fleeing their homelands.
Our country needs time to heal and integrate those who have recently arrived.
We also need to address the root causes of emmigration by skilled indigenous English, Scottish and Welsh who leave for better lives in Canada, NZ and Australia. That means training people, removing benefits traps and improving the pay and working conditions in the health and care sectors so they become worthwhile careers for British workers.
The status quo no longer works for anyone. To paraphrase Mr Galloway, Labour and the Conservatives are two cheeks of the same bottom. And that bottom needs a good spanking to get them back on track and working for the people of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The irony being that most of the Reform outfit (and certainly the government of the time) would lay the same charges at the door of the Cohens. A dilution of cultural cohesion and a burden on an already struggling populace. If only they'd stayed in the first safe country etc etc.
Kind of you to have adopted the cause of the embattled 'indigenous' Britons though. I suspect you might use a different pseudonym when you're hanging out in your Reform Party and EDL chatrooms.

I would never make fun of people who have irony. It's a serious complaint and while diet and exercise may help, it never really goes away.

LibDems for me.
For amongst other policies is their unambiguous call for an immediate ceasefire in Palestine - the only mainstream party taking such a stance
As for Farage and his gang of cryptofacists - the grift continues unabated with unrealistic solutions offered to the gullible, safe in the knowledge that they'll never be held accountable (which has been Farage's modus operandi for nearly 20 years)

I posted what I thought was a neutral-ish question.
Q:"Anyone Still UNdecided?"
Be nice to get some fresh-ish thoughts.
The LEADER of the party I joined nearly fifty years ago appears to be betraying every principle the finest people in that party believed in and campaigned for.
Did Starmer watch the TV news this evening and view yet more evidence of the ongoing genocide in Gaza?~~~~
What is he?
A question I seem to recall Starmer once posing to Boris Johnson.

I mostly agree with what Esther says on this, but Reform would not be my first choice. I guess Alan, that you joined Labour in the Wilson period in its heyday as a 'workers' party made up mainly of people that grafted for a living, and have seen its transition towards an 'Islingtonian intellectual' one. If I may add part of a blog from a main newspaper which sums up much of a certain political elite completely;
'Find a single one of them who has ever run anything, made anything, started anything successful, invented or improved anything, ever mortgaged their house as security to buy a machine, ever created a real job that created revenue for a company and real taxes made of new money into the treasury? I don’t know of any, just a bunch of ideological tapeworms convinced of their intellectual and moral superiority, certain of their entitlement to take and spend other people’s money, but never to create any themselves'.
Needless to say, I'm still undecided and may not even bother.
