I have no idea who to vote for in the general election, I've voted 3 times already. I voted leave because /brit/ and /pol/ told me to, I voted conservative/UKIP second choice on the london police commissioner election(I don't live in london), I voted conservative in the recent local elections. Mummy forces me to go to the polling station to vote in person, I can't argue with her because she feeds me and I am unemployed, it makes her happy that I go.

I have no formal education on politics and the like other than general studies in sixth form which was just the class watching youtube videos on newsnight, it was just muslims and homosexuals arguing with each other, I didn't learn anything.
I'm begging you please give me some mandatory books on politics so I can make an informed choice this time even if no one is worth voting for.
>inb4 fuck off to /pol/
no

Read Peter Hitchen's column/blog but be warned - once you take the "Petepill" you can't go back.

Corbyn is the only one offering something different and inviting for young people.

May doest give a shit and is being told what to do and say. Useless, and I say this as a former Tory voter

Just vote for Corbyn. For fucks sake he is the only qualified candidate.

Well, gee, I recommend the Conservative manifesto, the Labour manifesto, the Lib Dem manifesto, the UKIP manifesto, the Green manifesto, the manifetso of whoever else is running in your constituency.

>> No.9578812

It's a bit more big-picture than you'd like but The Decline and Fall of the British Empire 1781-1997 by Piers Brandon is worth a read.

Also just vote for Corbyn. I say this as an American, you don't want someone who's even as vaguely friendly with Trump as May.

Your nation is occupied and being fought over by desert semites now, as the previous mayoral election between Khan Goldsmith in majority nonwhite London showed. Support and listen to leaders like Jez Turner and Nick Griffin, and move out of your mom's place, start working out, make white babies, and prepare to fight. Corbyn is slightly better than May this time around. Good luck.

I know the Lib Dems have no chance of winning, but aren't they pretty good too?

The End of the Party: The Rise and Fall of New Labour by Andrew Rawnsley

Coalition: The Inside Story of the Conservative-Liberal Democrat Coalition Government by David Laws

This covers the last two decades or so, and is the bare minimum to understanding where we are at now - reforms undertaken by Blair, the measures enacted to end the Great Reccesion, the current policies of the Tory goverment etc.

Not currently. I voted Remain and would normally consider myself a natural Lib-Dem voter, but the Lib-Dems have no policies except 'Brexit is Bad, Weed is good' at the moment.
