Really wouldn’t be so confident about that, the level of people who are still either brainwashed or completely ignorant is ridiculous

Could also be a Massive Conservative
drop in voting on Thursday 5/May/22

The Greens and Lib dems will do well.

The Greens might get the backlash from Boris's wifes crazy green costly agenda

As far as i know, Locals are sort of treated like a "weather vane" for how the current government is doing?

I know the upcoming Locals aren't for MPs, but I'm turned off both of these parties because I know both of the MP candidates personally, and for various reasons I wouldn't either as my representation in the House of Commons

As parties, I can't trust the Greens to actually be green, as (last time I looked anyway) they support biomass fuels (the felling and burning of trees) over nuclear, and the LibDems keep on whinging about the EU. Whether or not leaving was a bad idea, it's done and there's plenty more to focus on.

I'll probably just defaulty vote Labour, but it's annoying because I'd roughly and offhandly call myself "liberal", and environmental issues are my real bugbear

Food and to an extent fuel at the pumps yes. The energy bills situation is 100% avoidable. Increases are inevitable but the current situation should have been nipped in the bud before it became a realistic possibility. Other countries have done so. Our government simply chose not to, and to offer scraps of compensation instead.

it certainly would, I think people might even vote Labour even though they dont want to just to send a message

Partygate will not be forgotton by many, no matter how much they try to swerve it and their sheer lack of any help with energy bills and the hike in NI is too recent for it not to be an impact, I just hope people go out and vote these elections generally have a low turn out

that would be a mistake in my view, the only way to hurt them at the moment is at the ballot box

Or it could be that everyone else is just so so useless, ie labour. That people still see the conservatives as the only, and best option out there.

The other parties really do have to start pulling their socks up, they've spent the 2 years of covid doing nothing but point out the so called failings of one man
