Having been in both parties, the Conservatives are way better.
Except for silent members who just pay and donate and do not attend meetings, being in Labour is basically wasting your life in a bitter war between two or three large mobs of emotionally driven individuals whipped up by grifters. At a lower level, that breaks down into smaller factions viciously feuding over trivia or pure spite. It is literally structured like an MMO, with vast numbers of inconsequential but important sounding positions for activists to fight over. Kind of like PvP. Grinding (leafleting, for example) enhances your ability to obtain bling.
Long time no see.
I'd argue that the Conservatives are little better, but everyone needs to pick one organization and work against the wokies there.
Oh hi u/AntonioOfVenice. Good to hear from you.
