I do have a horse in this race: I'm a member of the Labour Party.
I do not always see eye-to-eye with it (in fact, its general mediocrity frequently drives me up the wall), but I still think - in the very limited sphere of parliamentary politics - it offers by far the best compromise between "morally permissible" and "actually likely to run the government" out of the current parties.
If you're lucky enough to be in a seat where a more progressive party stands a genuine chance, go for that too.
On the specific issue of the occupation of Gaza, which I know a lot of people on here care about (me included!), there's been a lot of rubbish spread about Labour. To clear that up, the party's official policy is:
- Immediate ceasefire
- Suspend arms sales to Israel
- Recognise Palestine as a state
- Restore UN aid & funding
- Enforce any ICC/ICJ rulings (inc. on Netanyahu)
I'm not going to deny that it took more time than I'd like for it to get there, but it's there now.
