‘No way I can vote Labour’: Will pro-Palestine Brits sway the UK election?
Al Jazeera
Despite raging protests, those who are abandoning Labour over Starmer’s position are unlikely to affect the outcome of the general election.
London, United Kingdom – Tim Flynn, a 71-year-old retired National Heath Service psychotherapist, has voted for the Labour Party all his life.
But on July 4, he plans to protest against the party, with a pencil. He will mark a cross on his ballot paper next to his local Green Party candidate.
“There’s no way I can vote Labour this time,” he said. “It’s clear where [Labour leader Keir Starmer’s] politics lie. His politics lie with capitalism, with imperialism, with supporting Israel.
“If you don’t vote for a ceasefire, you’ve lost my vote.”
Flynn’s London constituency, Vauxhall and Camberwell Green, is a safe Labour seat. And nationally, Starmer is widely expected to win the general election with a significant majority after 14 years of Conservative rule, making him Britain’s next prime minister.
