Here is the (two dimensional) political placing of the parties in the forthcoming UK election from Political Compass....
If you thought you didn't have an awful lot of choice, the fact that all major parties are (on this assessment) siting in the blue (Right/Authoritarian) quadrant will confirm that suspicion
@ScottishGreens Being outside of government won't help you advance your aims. Voting with Tories is a no-go. And while I don't like the SNP's conservative faction, they're the ones likely to benefit from this bùrach. As someone who's not party political, I'm scunnered with all you.

Difficult choices. SNP moving to the right is not palatable. The Greens intending to vote with a Tory motion, the same. If the Greens were to join Labour and the Lib Dems, it would be the last time I voted for them.
The grave of John Pow, "Malt Man in Leith", who died on 4th December, 1750. It stands between South Leith Parish Church and the nearby graves of the Balfours, maternal ancestors of the novelist Robert Louis Stevenson. It is believed that Stevenson saw the grave while attending a funeral at the church and borrowed the name for the character 'Blind Pew' in his adventure novel 'Treasure island'.
The email for the CEO of the Scottish Football Association for anyone wishing to let him know, constructively, of their displeasure at recent incidents of sectarianism and violence in Scottish football.
And Thy gentle church has spoken
about the lost state of her miserable soul,
and the unremitting toil has lowered
her body to a black peace in a grave.
And her time has gone like a black sludge
seeping through the thatch of a poor dwelling:
the hard Black Labour was her inheritance;
grey is her sleep tonight.
Starmer is loathsome for many things, but now he's given pro-Putin charlatan, friend of Farage and British unionist Galloway a way back into the political mainstream...
