Fun how the present incarnation of Labour isn’t even rated as a ‘progressive’ party on the social scale. I guess that’s due to the pivot away from the Corbyn years.

Meanwhile, I’ve been keeping election leaflets to try to help engage my resident first time voter in the process. She hasn’t filled her postal vote in yet. We got a handful of leaflets today including the ones from all the minor parties and independents, who were satisfyingly bonkers. One of them is committed to campaigning against the Glasgow LEZ (we’re not in Glasgow, and the LEZ is so small it’s easily avoided, albeit it’s way more draconian than the London ULEZ) and fighting for the right to pay with cash everywhere. The other one has produced a leaflet that’s some sort of rambling essay I’ve read twice and still can’t make head or tail of but seems to be some kind of independent Marxist.

Either way it’s either SNP or Labour around here. The rest is theatre.
