Comment on Who to vote for?

I’ve been voting in this country for 30 years, and for the last 20, it doesn’t seem to make a difference beyond undoing the last governments work…

By all means vote, but you shouldn’t expect significant change to come from voting.

MPs and their parties are beholden to their own interests that are roughly aligned with the status quo.

Significant change only comes about when grass-roots social movements can exert real pressure upon those in power.

So if you want to make a difference politically, get involved in organisations that are building a social movement. Joining and getting involved in your union is one way to start.
