Voted for Scottish independence, mostly (but not solely) for distance from what I see as invasve ideas coming from Westminster. Voted to remain in Europe as while its far from perfect, it can provide a shield from some extreme Govt policies. Joined and supported organisations like EFF and No2Id since Labour’s database proposal under Blair. Tried to convince friends, family and colleagues that Theresa May was a terrifying control freak of a Home Secretary, and that they should avoid voting for the Conservatives based on her policies, if not Cameron’s. Voted for Liberal Democrats who seemed like the only party to even consider surveillance an issue until Clegg shot himself in the foot.
Sure, I could probably have been a more active supporter; I’m a natural introvert so doesn’t come easy, but I’ll own up to that. It just strikes me that the left is losing, everywhere, and with essentially no opposition thanks to Labour’s infighting and our media’s obsession with Corbyn, combined with the perfect storm of Brexit and Trump, the Tories under May arent going anywhere.
