There's two things I loathe from people more of my political leaning- those who talk about right wing appeasement being a long game, and those who think that lowering their standards to "anyone but the tories" is a helpful political stance. Now, more than ever, we need to be relentlessly pressuring politicians to do what we need them to. A failure at this point to make brave, necessary changes to everything from economy to media mismanagement of fact, will lead to a worsening of the socio-political status quo, and if that happens, a very scary door opens after the next election.

We need brave, competent leadership more than ever before right now. So you- you listening to this, stake your claim. Raise it with your political friends, have the awkward discussions around why 'at least they aren't the tories' isn't a defence of mediocre government- and why we need to ask for more, not less.
