@Krytern CH4 is a Labour party campaign management mouth piece. I talked about Starmer for that reason. That you immediately assumed;
1. That one must support a political party
2. That there are only two political parties one could then support
3. That pointing to Starmer in a critical way must mean I'm some kind of fanboy for the other major party
4. That criticism of the labour r party leader, necessarily applies, let alone equally, to both major party leaders...
...is not only a non-sequitur, but perfectly serves to expose your own tribalist bias. To a hammer, everything is but a nail.
The reality is, there are more parties than the two major ones, and no one has to lend their support to any of them. Ever, let alone consistently. Last I looked one votes for an individual candidate, not a party.
There is very little, if any, difference between the major parties. This is a necessity for their survival because they are both seeking the support of the same majority moderate-centrist voters. There are however from time to time compelling differences between individuals inside of said parties.
More frequently than not one has to vote strategically. As it has been quite a very many decades since there has been a genuinely worthwhile candidate, one must instead frequently vote to keep the worst of them out.
