Labour would have to do a shit load of things to get me to vote for them. For example, stop supporting genocide and bending over backwards to protect Israel.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I guess you'll never vote Labour again.
nope. the greens finally seem like a viable alternative for young people. labour has spent too long chasing the Nazi vote
Billionaires, and soon trillionaires, have no place in the world when there are people being paid a meager amount and having to work 80 hours a week to JUST afford rent and food. Tax the ever living fuck out of billionaires.
Not just billionaires. I cannot imagine why would someone need multiple millions every year neither.
Labour doing something meaningful and stopping their attempt to cater to conservative immigration ideas would make young people vote Labour. A wealth tax would help too.
Seems unlikely, with a quick look at YouGov. 47% of 18-24 year olds thought immigration was generally a little or much too high, with 28% don't know. This is by far the most favourable towards immigration of any age segment. But 57% think the rich are not being made to pay enough in tax - in line with the general population.
Billionaires don't have a country, they've got everything from this one and aren't building infrastructure like they used to when they were stuck in a residence. Why do we think we need to entice these fickle leaches? They'll go once it's all gone anyway
no cause of the fascism and the racism
Critics, however, warn that a wealth tax could encourage tax avoidance
Even worse than already is.
Worsening the regressiveness of the tax system, where the poor pay far far higher, deep into their cost of living.
No but it would help and would be considered a good start
It won't solve anyone's immediate problems, but it'd be a good thing to do.
"ok guys, we need some funny looking youth to interview to distract from what is otherwise totally implausible as an article"
No.
