I'm voting for nepotism.
I knew the candidate's dad, who died last year. He was a brilliant guy, and from what I've seen the candidate doesn't fall far from the tree. My city's district usually does well with indy candidates too, so it's less likely to be a wasted vote.
Although to be fair I thought Sir Keir Starmer's speech just now was excellent. He was asked by the BBC if he recognised that the average working people of the country were really struggling with the cost of living crisis and that it's driving voters more and more towards the extreme right. His response was spot on:
"We are going to stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes".
He was also asked if he realised that Labour courting right-wing votes is a losing strategy because all it does is disenfranchise the Labour base while giving the likes of Reform licence to push the Overton window more and more to the right. Sir Keir replied:
"Vladimir Putin's brutal and unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine was a violation of the international rules-based order and we will stand by Ukraine for as long as it takes"
Finally he was asked if he could promise English pensioners that he would reverse his decision to take away their winter fuel allowance. Sir Keir responded:
"We are going to send 3 billion pounds a year to Ukraine for as long as it takes".

Now The Guardian have just put a question to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer. They asked him to address the accusation that Labour is moving right because now they are in power they’re beholden to the lobbyists who offer them a 6-hour-a-month job with a salary of £180k a year on exit from office if they just push through one tiny change to a policy that the media won’t even cover.
Sir Keir replied:
"Look, what the British people want to know is if we will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes, and I assure them that we will".

The Observer is now asking Sir Keir about whether his own cabinet has contributed to the disenfranchisement of the left, given that Streeting, Cooper, Reeves and Healey have shown us they are right wing nuts for at least a decade. Cooper, the journalist pointed out, was responsible for the immigration mugs in 2015, Healey has never met a brown person he did not want to bomb, Wes has hated socialists since his student union days, and also in Cooper's case we have overt corruption with she and her husband flipping houses to extort the expenses system.
Sir Keir replied:
"Vladimir Putin has waged a war on our democratic values and we will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes".
> You are vastly overestimating the effects of the Ukraine war on any economy besides Russia and Ukraine's
I'm parodying Western politicians you berk. I know that the West doesn't give a fuck about the outcome. That's been my point all along. "WE HAVE TO KEEP SENDING HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS TO UKRAINE OR ELSE PUTIN WILL TAKE OVER THE WHOLE OF EUROPE" was always a retarded claim, but hey it got dumbass Westerners to silently acquiesce to one of the biggest wealth transfers in modern history.
> You are vastly overestimating the effects of the Ukraine war on any economy besides Russia and Ukraine's
In addition, you seem to be forgetting how everyone from Joe Biden ("the Putin price-hike") to Olaf Scholz ("We're going to ban all Russian gas and oil...Russia is weaponising energy and destroying our industry!!!") made up bullshit about the effect of this war on their economies to cover up their own fucktardery.
It clearly was since it sailed over your head. Seriously dude, if you thought those were actual quotes I posted then I can see why your people are not trusted with consonants.

...where did you get that you retard. the point is the comedic prowess you've managed to display here despite your ever-crippling developmental issues relies on the idea that the ukraine war is bad for the uk economy. that's db

Very well, I'll walk you through it again:
No, it relies on the UK government having spent 3 years ACTIVELY SAYING it's bad for the UK economy. Shit, back in 2022 Boris Johnson even pinned the famous case of an elderly British woman having to ride around on buses all day to keep warm because she couldn't afford to heat her house on the Ukraine war, when in fact it was his own imbecility as Prime Minister.
