    I mean, if “take back control” means treat people with dignity and respect. Offering them safe routes and a welcoming speedy asylum process then, great.

    Unfortunately, I’m not sure that’s what they mean by “take back control” and that just makes me wonder who on Earth is going to offer me an actual progressive alternative to vote for at the next election.

    Can we form a Lemmy Party or something?

      Labour is still your best bet

          one is infinitely more evil than the other though.

      No one is. You cannot vote for a progressive future. The changes that we need to make to our society have to happen outside of the polling booth.
