Not sure why anyone would quote Tony Blair, a man most-remembered for starting a war and murdering hundreds of thousands based on made-up evidence, against the protests of his population, and under whose leadership the Labour Party swung so far to the right that it was barely distinguishable from the Conservatives.
Of course he doesn't think the current Labour Party deserve to win. They're actually somewhat leftist- something he spent years trying to stamp out in the party when he was leader.

To be fair he said something sensible for a change and I mostly agree with him.
Thus far all parties seem to be engaged in a competition to see who can tell the most utterly ridiculous lies.

There seems to be an aggressive push in the UK media to try to make it out that all the candidates are equally awful and that it's pointless to even bother voting, presumably to try to depress people who want to see something change into not bothering.
Not that this is a new strategy.

Saying "everybody X" is typically to the benefit of the people who "X" the most and the detriment of those who'd prefer there were less "X".
Basically, "Everybody lies" is pro-lying.

Looks like whatever that image was of, it's been pulled from imgur.

It's still popping up on my end. But for the sake of inclusiveness...

Where I live now, I basically have a choice between Lib Dems and Plaid Cymru. There were about 100 votes between them last election - Plaid Cymru booted out the Lib Dem. Everyone else was in the 100s rather than the 1000s so anyone else I voted for would truly be a wasted vote. Both parties are anti-Brexit (last time I looked) which suits me. I don't know what I'm going to do yet.
Sounds like Ceredigion? If so then you live in one of the very few four-way marginals in the country :)
The Welsh Nats won it with 29% last time, but four parties got more than 18%. I'd expect it to be a Plaid-Lib Dem fight again, and a narrow Lib Dem gain, but Labour and the Tories cannot be discounted.
Tactical voting here seems like it would be an impossibility, so I'd say just go with whoever is closest to your thinking.

Clever old you, it is indeed Ceredigion. :)
I won't vote for Labour at the moment and since the current council has just pissed me off regarding council tax exemption, I'll probably go Lib Dem or Green.

Why won't you vote for Labour at the moment? Don't they have more chance of getting in than the Greens with the First Past The Post system?
