That's really incredible. What a gift! Are you taking commissions at the moment?

You are such a phenomenal artist. Were you always naturally very talented or did you study and learn, or a bit of both?

Great. I did. FYI I don't live in UK and these things aren't as clear to me as they might be to you. Appreciate your patience.

Great. Joined.

FYI I currently live overseas a long way from UK and so things aren't perhaps as obvious to me as they are to you. Thank you for your patience.

I simply wasn't understanding how alternatives were possible. So the answer I'm getting is simply "Vote Green". But it is a risk, unless proportional representation is introduced. And that risk is likely to stop people from voting with their hearts, and instead for the "lesser of two evils".

I totally agree with you! I'm just asking (the universe) "how" to manage electing a progressive government without splitting the vote and giving the fascists a chance to muscle in. That's all. You seem to think I'm defending Labour. I'm commenting on their size and strength. Not their policies.

I'm Greens voter at heart. I think the sheer size of Labour is where my confusion lies. And the concern around "splitting the vote" and giving the right a chance to muscle in. I'm genuinely interested in how this could work another way. Perhaps I'm being basic.

You know absolutely nothing about me...
I'm asking for ideas. I am genuinely interested as to how to overcome the logistical aspect - the heft and strength of the party nationally, dwarfs others. I'm a Greens voter at heart. Not that anyone on this thread paused to ask before piling on.

I was referring to the logistical aspect - the heft and strength of them nationally, not their actions. Their size and experience, I guess. I'm a Greens voter at heart. Not that anyone on this thread paused to ask before piling on.

Thank you.

And, you know nothing about me... I'm not gunning for Labour. I'm genuinely interested in how we move forward, with inclusivity and progression.

I would genuinely love to hear an alternative plan, because I don't see one.

How does UK prevent Reform from becoming Government at the next election, without backing the only other party which are currently able to govern?

Not challenging you, not insulting you, simply interested in your ideas.
November 14, 2025 at 1:24 AM
You don't have to be so aggressive about it. Of course I don't want to throw anyone under a bus. How about educating and talking about it, rather than insulting? Also, don't be reductionary. Of course it's not just about me not liking Farage. It's about me not liking FACISM.

😬 hadn't seen this.
November 14, 2025 at 1:13 AM
What are the others?
November 13, 2025 at 4:56 AM
I think we've seen nothing like the "extreme racism", transphobia and authoritarianism that Reform will bring. The reality is that that is the current choice. We can't let it happen.
November 13, 2025 at 4:53 AM
I hope it doesn't do this, or if it does, it manages to wait until after the next election because frankly the thought of having Farage as the next PM, is spine chilling.
