26 September - A reason to vote Liberal Democrat
My
copy of the Liberal
Democrat’s Belvedere by-election leaflet showed up yesterday, it’s not for
me because I am one of Keir Starmer’s far right racist thugs but voters who naturally
lean to the left might consider giving David McBride a chance.
I have already opined that anyone who wants
to see Belvedere improve should vote Conservative. The fact is that history
shows the majority group side-lines all opposition
voices so in practice our
Labour Councillors don’t achieve a lot except for their own litter picking efforts.
Whilst trying not to confuse national and local politics myself it cannot be totally
ignored that Labour’s top brass have been far worse at governing than even I
imagined. YouTube, which I spend too much time viewing is overwhelmed with
video essays and comment about Labour’s lying control freakery. Proclaiming the
need for more state control. Are they mad?
Several red haired young women are impersonating the Deputy Prime Minister with
mock speeches which are all too believable. I have never seen anything like it
outside of Spitting Image. The
Labour Government has plumbed new depths of illiberalism and idiocy and Belvedere residents
who are as sick of it as the polls and pub chatter suggest most people are and cannot bring themselves to
vote Conservative would do well to consider the alternative offered by David McBride.
He is not a total newcomer to Belvedere as he used to teach in a school here;
maybe he has his own fan base locally already. Labour needs to be given a short
sharp shock. My Labour Councillor (an MP since July) and my Labour MP
voted to make 1,798
Belvedere residents worse off and nationally kill about 4,000 people - their own
estimate. Belvedere people owe Labour nothing.
Reform UK announced that
it intends to contest Belvedere (PDF)
but there has been zero sign of activity. In any case I no longer consider that
party to be a viable alternative to the Conservatives (†) following a number of
decisions and statements by their leader Nigel Farage. Demanding money with
menaces for truthful references to their General Election candidate doesn’t help either.
† I still see nothing in that party nationally to attract me back to them. All four leadership candidates look similarly useless to me.
