Yeovil managing to vote lib dem instead of Tory or reform it's a miracle

When Phil Reilly ran the party media operation under the coalition, he told his team: ‘We need to be first, funny, or interesting.’ Umunna, who sat on the campaign committee, disagreed. ‘His view was that we should do serious, weighty press conferences,’ an aide remembered. Rathe explained, ‘We can’t do that because no one will care because we are the Liberal Democrats.’”

Russell Davies (no relation, not the Dr Who one) is great at finding interesting things. “First, funny or interesting” is a great mantra.

uk political parties: Okay we're starting our election campaigns, let's have a look at what people are concerned about so we can make appropriate policies to deal with this & appeal to voters

uk public: we're really concerned about the rising cost of living

uk public: No we said we're concerned about the cost of-

conservatives and labour: you want us to fight over who can have the most unethical immigration policies??

uk public: we want to be able to afford groceries and heating

conservatives: ohhh i get it you want us to make benefits even more inaccessible and new policies to target disabled people??

uk public: can we at least get some good environmental policies so our energy is sustainable and prices aren't consistently rising??

uk political parties: TIKTOK MEME WAR

uk public: No!! coherent, realistic, helpful policies to reduce the costs of living!!

the lib dems for some reason: we have a massive yellow bus and Ed Davey fell off a paddleboard

Here's something I'm sure you find infuriating;

"I'm not into politics. I don't really know, I'm just not a political person."

We know that this IS being political! It means you condone everything - you don't think anything is worth fighting for, you're fine with the status quo as long as it benefits you vaguely. It's the mindset of someone so aggressively individualist, that the suffering of others is simply not a concern - since the system can't be broken, if they're alright. The kind of people to vote for a fascist if it'll mean that their taxes are lower next year. To stand by and watch oppression is insidious. Not even watch - to Celebrate oppression as long as it's against the "savages" and "beasts." Mass mistreatment still exists beyond the gulf surrounding apathetic suburbia.

Something that I wish more people understood is that this election is no longer about who forms a government. That is a forgone conclusion at this point unless shit really hits the fan. This election is about who leads the opposition.

If the conservatives are allowed to get away with second place, they will still have the platform to poison our politics and rebuild to come back down the line.

If the lib dems get to finish second instead, they will get to set the narrative, the media will be forced to platform them more and the conservatives less, and we actually stand a chance at having the labour government held to account. Polls show that this is on the cards.

We are so close to a seismic shift in politics in this country.

But to do it, we need to vote tactically. We need to the number of lib dem seats where possible, but realistically they have a ceiling of support at around 70-75 seats. So the other half of the equation is to reduce the number of conservative seats as far below 70 as we can. There is no such thing as a safe tory seat this election, with enough tactical voting they can all be wiped out.

To that end, here are two resources that can help:

^^The most reliable tactical voting site with the greatest track record, proven to be legit unlike some of the fake ones that the tories have set up, and the only one that I know of purely focused on getting the tories out of power and out of the opposition.

^^An initiative to try to beat the tory and reform uk bot farms at their own game.

Together we can reach net zero tories

It's that time of the year where you have to hide just how much you hate the American government and its pathetic brain-dead cheerleaders behind a thin veneer of "I don't follow politics that much to be honest".
