Understandably low turnout - who the hell is currently worth voting for? Tories seem intent on living up to the 'nasty party' tag, while making a pig's ear of brexit (to be fair, that's a poisoned chalice)

Labour making an equal pig's ear of the anti-Semitism thing ('we are Labour, we CAN'T be racist') while the left side of Momentum and the loud, shouty, Question Time rabble fling insults about (Sajid Javid copping abuse for being an 'uncle Tom' or 'coconut' for having the gall to be Asian, Muslim AND a Tory!)

They really are as bad as each other - positive politics is gone, it's all about saying how crap the other side are (if you're a Tory) or shouting down any opposing voices if you're Labour).

If there were a general election tomorrow, I genuinely don't know who I could bring myself to vote for, which would leave Lib Dems, or a local independent (we didn't have local elections down here, but if we did, I would've been voting on purely local issues)

Spot on with your comments, NPN! Lib Dems minor resurgence provides faint hope of a second party oppositional threat. In truth, I've never known the quality of UK Politics sink to such dire political depths. For our area that has re-elected it's Conservative council, I predict more out-sourcing or scrapping of public services and more secrecy of multi-million reserves
