My point was you said good idea but not under this government, those are the other two feasible alternatives so I was asking if you would rather they did it, as no one else will be in a position to.
I do hate the online “its not perfect so I’m going to throw my toys out the pram and complain so something even a little better doesnt happen”.
Sneering about the trolley problem doesn’t work when don’t is an option. There is no reason this has to happen, right the hell now. It’s not suddenly any more necessary or feasible than it has been in decades past, and it won’t stop being feasible once all these pricks are seen as archaic. You can and will do better than this. Set things in stone… then.
Do you think the Attlee, Wilson or Blair governments were perfect, should they have not pushed through reforms because they weren’t?
Why should this governments less than perfect stance on trans rights stop them pushing for defining the role of local governments more clearly, or moving to a better voting system? Should Blair not have done devolution for Wales and Scotland, or removing most of the hereditary lords because he didn’t push though total gay marriage equality?
Insisting on waiting for perfection to do anything is a tool of those who don’t want anything to change and benefit from the status quo.
You’d rather it done under the tories or reform I take it then?
> specifically compares transphobia to racism
‘So you’re even further right-wing, huh?’
Do fuck off.
