Two weeks ago I said I wouldn't vote for a party who endorses transphobia. It's not for me to teach people why a weak stance on equality is a bad look for a political party of any stripe, plus it's a waste of time- those disingenuous enough to claim there isn't a valid, and wide point there, are fully cognisant of my reasoning- they just reject it because they fear it applies to them. But I want to pose a question in today's episode- what if I'm right? I mention labour's (at least perceived) slide into conservative viewpoints and I pose the question- what if they do mean what they say, and want to offer us a continuation of the conservatism that's brought us this low? Focusing on getting the tories out is fine and good- but ignoring the looming concern of more conservatism is to ignore the problems we'll face in the years to come, and I can't focus on the short term as the long term gets bleaker.
