On 2nd of May, people across the land will be voting in local elections. Whilst local elections are, obviously, about local issues, this should be different. If you are in favour of leaving the EU, you can safely vote for pro Brexit parties, which as well as the crank parties like Ukip, also include the Conservative Party and the Labour Party. If you are a remainer who wants a second referendum or a remainer who wants the softest Brexit imaginable, it’s a tough call.
The easy bit is not voting Conservative. I’d never do that. The slightly less easy bit is not voting Labour for the first time in my entire life. With Labour under the control of a hard Brexiter and disaster socialist, Jeremy Corbyn, I can’t vote for them either. But what’s left?
The Lib Dems, possibly, despite the fact that they have not apologised for inflicting austerity on the most vulnerable people in the land when they propped up David Cameron’s government from 2010 to 2015. I might have to hold my nose and vote for them. If I am lucky to have a candidate from Change UK, job done.
I have the feeling that the politicians who have broken our country may just have broken the two party duopoly that broke the country. Good. Those from left and right, from remain and leave, feel badly led down by both main parties, especially given the abysmal lack of leadership provided by their pitiful excuses for leaders. The country is faced with a major crisis, the most serious crisis since the second world war, and both May and Corbyn play politics.
It’s all straightforward. If you want to leave Europe, the two main parties are for you. May wants a hard Brexit and Corbyn arguably wants an even harder Brexit. If you believe his garbage about a negotiating a “jobs first Brexit”, you need to take a long hard look at yourself. May and Corbyn are two cheeks of the same arse.
