How’s that, exactly?
Supporting candidates that are against FPTP instead of exclusively in favor of it. And you know, vocally opposing it.
And when those candidates get 5% max of the vote, what does it get you?
However much support for getting rid of FPTP that we can get. Im well aware im fighting against millions of people that also dont like FPTP but will exclusively vote for candidates that support it. I cant control minds, only speak mine
So you get… support for getting rid of FPTP. But no actual changes because you’re lucky to get 5% of the vote.
I think in reality you get to feel like you’ve washed your hands of it and “did what you could” and then after the election you can say, “hey, I didn’t vote for them” and feel good inside.
In other words, fuck all.
We're all getting fuck all until that percentage is high enough. Like I said before, doing what you're doing weve been falling behind developed countries on all the metrics i care about.
