Labour was voted in as the best way to get the tories out. Not because people actually wanted labour. Strategic voting, it was referred as.

Labour have just continued the tories policies though including their very controversial online safety act, digital id and asylum hotels, among many other controversial policies.

I would vote them again though if it means keeping reform out but honestly I cant agree with or take seriously any of the available parties. All are absolutely terrible, useless, liars, and cannot back up their claims or have a reasonable way of funding them without screwing something else majorly and causing backlash.

Aren't the UK greens doing extremely well right now?

But FPTP makes them not a serious option for many voters.

Its depressing to watch, and to say that yeah, its still better than the forced conscription Sunak was hammering on about.

Fuck yanking kids off the street to train them to kill.

Kids round my end learned to kill ON the streets xD

I mean, no, seriously though, when we were 15 there was a lot of youth violence, gang violence on neighborhood streets, heck one of my classmates went to prison for murdering an old woman while he was burglarising her house.

Ahhh ... Manchester. Such youthful memories :-/
