    Yeah, the Red Tory label was used just like Genocide Joe over here to suppress the vote among those incapable of making nuanced decisions. And it worked here in the UK just as well as it did in the US.

      Except that we currently have a Labour Government? Did you also miss the part where I said I voted anyway?

      I don’t have to vote for anyone I don’t agree with. I also don’t have to pick “the lesser of 2/3/4/whatever evils” because, to me, that is falling for the oligarchs’ trap. If you want to get mad at somebody, get mad at those who voted for the Tories here, or the Republicans in the US. They’re to blame, not the left who are divided by the fact that nobody in politics wants to represent their collective interests.

      Frankly, if you think that I am morally compelled to vote for Labour, even when I disagree with their fascist rhetoric, then you are licking the boots of a broken institution.
