He is opposed to a policy which has already been thoroughly consulted on.

Wrong, I'm afraid it wasn't. national grid consultation

It seems like the pressure is working, because they agreed that the initial assessment wasn't enough: "We are also consulting on the preliminary findings from our environmental studies and assessments as well as proposed mitigation for any potential impacts to the local environment, including animal habitats and the local landscape."

In any case the local campaigners want more scrutiny and consultation from a third party. Which is their right if we like it or not.

"Ethnostate - noun. a state that is dominated by members of a single ethnic group." That exactly makes them an Ethnostate. Mandarin and Uyghur re-education camps is authoritarianism.

He already has money. He needs power and influence for his father in-law business interests.

I don't know if it's your reading comprehension or you're just confused, but I urge you to re-read my comments - I'm not trying to convince you of anything, you clearly made your decision and it doesn't seem to be based on any empirical evidence.

You made some bold claims though and I'm here to challenge you on those.

  • You claim to be a "leftie".
  • You voted remain.
  • You want to reform FPTP and immigration.
  • Apparently reform are the only ones to hit all the boxes.

So my answer is this... If you vote Reform, you're not a leftie. If you vote Farage, you're not a Remainer either. There are other parties who want to reform voting and immigration with better track record, actual councillors and more humane policies.

Why would I vote for libdem?

Because they want to get rid of FPTP and fix immigration, your main two important issues. But it seems like you're adding extra steps now..

Anyways, reading your other comments here, you've confirmed what others already suspected - you don't really want to fix the root issues of immigration, you're just a xenophob.

If those are your main issues, how are they any different from greens or libdems?

Assuming you're not trolling. Can you please expand on what good points do you think they offer?

I agree and I don't understand why people like op keep bashing green parties. There's a reason why nuclear is not a viable option. Ignoring the financial burden - Nuclear waste is not a technological issue, but a political one. People don't trust politicians and corporations to keep it safe for multiple millennia. Look at the state of the UK rivers, chronical waste dumping to save money. People who don't think it will happen with nuclear waste are delusional or don't know their history, as we already had nuclear dumping incidents near Australia, Baltic Sea, Mediterranean Sea etc..
