Why not do what everyone else will be doing and decide to vote for[1]
someone, rather than against something?


I'd say because in the general election, although Brexit is perhaps
the biggest thing there are other things to be condidered from the NHS
to what to do about climate change (if it's happening)


and wtf difference is voting for one party or the other going to do anyway?

we are 0.1% of the world population


And consume/produce vastly more per capita than most countries. And
we're (the UK) about 1% of the global population - producing 1% of CO2
emissions (for example, insofar as that's a measure of it all).

we can reduce our carbon footprint to zero and it's going to make ****
all difference if the other 99.9% does nothing (which is exactly what
most of them are doing)


Why would that stop you doing the right thing?
