"There is no-one worth voting for at the moment"
It's been like they with me for a long time Stu - I haven't voted in a British election since the advent of Blair's New Labour.
I really believe Corbyn might make a difference and would be tempted to vote for him if we still lived in the U.K.
Brexit is going to further deterioration of living standards for ordinary families; this surely has to mean people will be looking for someone who is going improve their lives with more than the rhetoric Johnson, Farrage, et al are offering.
Though I have always voted Labour, my politics lead me to believe that parliamentary democracy (sic) is a non-starter anyway - you just select the best of a bad bunch to cast your vote for, not ideal, nor particularly principled, but better than waiting around to say "I told you so".
I used to argue with my old man about this interminably - he always said, vote as left as you can.
We do have a slightly better alternative in Ireland with P.R. - it's been interesting to see the establishment parties backing away from repressive policies because of the way our votes count a little more than they do in the U.K.
