Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.

Yes, precisely. Otto, being someone who benefits very nicely from The System, can't fathom someone actually being impacted by Labour's punitive policies, or even someone who isn't impacted caring enough about those who are. From my end - I'll be spoiling every ballot for the rest of my life.

Let's turn this around Otto. If someone with a working brain was able to correctly identify Labour's authoritarian / rightwing stance ahead of time (via all the things they'd said and done in the 20 years leading up to power) - who *should* they (or, I) vote for? Who's left?
