Vote Labour.
But only if you live in a marginal though

I don't think I could stomach voting for anyone. i reckon there would a massive clamp down on free speech with the Labour Party.

The thing is, once an election comes around, they will pay a little more attention than usual to politics - and once they realise that Labour is riddled with the hard left - Marxists, Momentum etc - the average man in the street won't be interested in them. As weak as May is, Labour will be weaker come election time.
We have a very poor standard of politics in this country at this time, the worst for ages. It's an ideal opportunity for one of the minor parties to press ahead, but they all seem as weak as piss too.
I still see a Tory victory, not because they are particularly good, but because the opposition is dire. If May were replaced as leader, the victory will be greater still. The public won't be voting for the best party, but for the least worst.

I'm thinking yes because the same crap was said back then too.

A Tory victory this week is likely to be pyrrhic at best.
They will be celebrating losing 100 seats or less, or hanging on grimly to London cuncils never once won by Labour.
There was plenty of reducing of Tory expectations on the political programmes this morning, accompanied by much harrumphing abut no-one mentioning Windrush on the doorstep. They are lying.

Eh? Why would I leave the UK if Labour won office? Are you stark raving mad?
I'm interested in politics, but not fanatical about it. Unlike many of the liberal left on here, I accept democracy without condition. If my choice doesn't get in, I put up with whoever does. You won't see me still disputing decisions two years later, or scraping the barrel looking for reasons for a vote to be overturned.

Talking of leaving the UK - how's the move to Thailand coming along?
I don't know much about Thailand - what would happen over there if you refused to accept democracy because your side lost?
