This defeatist attitude causes the situation we’re in.

Voting against someone rather than for someone is a sure-fire way to get some of the worst politicians in power as possible, they only need to be marginally less bad than the other candidate after all.

Restore Britain is a populist joke btw. Greens might be my side of the fence but they’re also populist. Hard to get air time as a small party without some form of sweeping emotional appeals and “common sense” thinking, even if it’s internally inconsistent and very broad.

Have you realised those in power right now are against you? And it seems to work very well for them.

No, I live in Sweden where coalition governments are pretty common and people tend to vote for the party they agree with.

Same is true in the EU elections, since their system is more democratic than the UK one.

I’m intimately familiar with the shortcomings of the election system in the UK as I am British, but I’ve experienced other formulations and I can see that this line of thinking enables the abuse you claim to be dispelling by allowing it to continue..?
