To feel politically homeless?

[VaxMerstappen]

As we edge, inevitably, ever closer to another general election, is anyone else feeling like they are currently politically homeless? It feels like there's currently a dearth of appealling and credible options.

Current landscape of British politics:
Labour - Endless u-turns and scandals from the party that promised to give us "grown up politics", with an utterly beige, out of his depth leader.
Conservatives - Still remembered for 14 years of chaos, with little sign of any improvement.
Lib Dems - Nice guy leader, but total non-entity with no hope of ever getting in power.
Reform UK - Lead by a slippery eel who up to very recently was BFFs with Trump and who you wouldn't trust to run you a bath, never mind a country.
Greens - Lead by a moron who doesn't even use his real name, and use to hypnotise women into thinking they could grow bigger breasts. Oh, and who produces campaign material that's not even in English...
Your Party or whatever that Corbyn one is called these days - oh dear me.

Who the bloody hell am I supposed to vote for? I'm probably just going to go Monster Raving Looney and call it a day. They seem the most sensible choice of the lot right now!

I quite like Kemi but think the Tories are about as likely to win the next election as the Lib Dems. I expect Reform to be the largest party at least and that means a decade of an awful economy.

Voting is like taking a bus. Just pick the one that goes closest to your home.

Weird hyper-focus on whether you find the leaders likable. They're politicians, obviously none of them will be likable. What are your actual political beliefs?

Always helpful to remember you're voting for your local candidate, not the leader, too. I've had to hold my nose voting for Labour for most of my adult life (except the Corbyn years) but strong local candidates helped some of the time.

I like Kemi but I'd like her to apologise for the party being so crap the last few years

I don't consider it 14 years of chaos - 5 maybe

I think they wasted far too much time on Brexit though.

ETA - I think KB gives across a sense of efficiency that is sorely lacking in all the other parties. That isn't about whether or not I like her. I do like her as it happens. But it's the sense of efficiency that's appealing to me.

I have this horrible feeling that basic things like resource infrastructure are being completely neglected and I want someone who's going to pay attention to that

With all the others, I feel like you could warn them that we're about to run out of gas or electricity and they wouldn't know what to do about it.

Restore will have a big presence by 2029. They already have more members than the Tories and Lib Dems. You have an option there.

I thought I would be a lifelong labour voter but I’ve been politically homeless since Corbyn destroyed the party

I went back for a bit with Starmer
but homeless again.

I’m in Scotland so now float between the unionist parties.

I’ve voted Libdem in the Scottish Parliament elections by post but have no enthusiasm for it.

A lot of moderate voters feel the same. Our political leadership at the moment is dreadful..

I've decidedI will vote tactically in my constituency to try to keep reform out. Just need to work out what that entails exactly.

Globalisation which has birthed global monopolisation by trans national corporations and gifted power into fewer and fewer hands, has thrown a grenade into our democracy. All politicians really get to do now is rearrange the cushions on the Titanic....

Oh, and who produces campaign material that's not even in English...

Hmm. Is that really a negative @VaxMerstappen ?

I agree - I think everyone in the ‘middle’ probably feels like this - ever since Brexit. So demoralising.
