Voting? Making Hopelessness the New Normal

The other day I wrote an angry note here “On Thursday I want to vote for a party that stands up for women and Jews. And where I live, I am going to get precisely the opposite: Greens. Utterly depressing.”

Today is the day so perhaps I need to explain myself. Some people asked me to do that which is fair enough.

It very much looks like the council of the borough of London I live in – Hackney - will turn from Labour to Green. So many inner London boroughs will also vote this way: Islington, Camden, Haringey, Lewisham. This donut affect ,with inner London going Green and the outer London boroughs such as Bexley and Havering going Reform is what is being predicted right now. This polarisation is reminiscent of the Brexit referendum from which British politics has never really recovered.
