torkellThere's a set of local elections tomorrow, so I probably ought to work out who to vote for...
First up according to iPlayer is Labour! Basically, everything's too expensive and it's all the Tories' fault. But don't worry, we've got a plan... or rather, we've taken the Green Party's plan and changed the colour scheme.
Next is Alex Salmond's comeback tour in the form of the Alba Party. Basically, everything's too expensive and it's all Westminster's fault. But don't worry, once Scotland is (finally) independent everything will be fine.
The Green's are up next. They've bucked the trend with a Zoom meeting to show off how awesome they are. Somehow they got through it with not a single "you're on mute"!
Now it's the remains of the Lib Dems. Basically, everything's terrible and the Tories' just don't care. But don't worry, we do care!
The Tories now get a chance to defend themselves. They've decided that offence is the best form of defence (and that they can't trust Boris Johnson in front of the camera): vote Tory because Labour and the Lib Dems will ruin everything.
Back to Scotland for the SNP. Basically, everything went wrong and it's all the Tories fault for being untrustworthy. As demonstrated by a spontaneous Tory caber toss.
Last but not least, it's time for Plaid Cymru. It's an uphill struggle with lots of barriers, but if we persevere we can make a difference!
Well. There's a definite theme here among the traditional larger parties of either "attack the Tories!" or "attack everyone else!" (with honourable mention to Alba for "attack England!"). The Greens as usual took a different path, and while their message isn't as starkly delivered as it was in 2019 it's still quite strong - instead of attacking everyone and/or saying what they hope to do, they've pointed out that they can actually achieve change.
