UK General Election 2024 #3

happy voting day!!! They aren’t all the same and the less people who vote the less accountable they are so please get out and put a cross in a box!!

I think the Tories underestimated how much the public resents them for this. It's still so raw for so many people.

 

[Bobby Chariot]

It's incredible folk think Reform are a credible political party, they're a private enterprise with no interest in improving Public Services in this country, only their hedge funds matter.

So anyone who didn't vote the way you like is a racist? You sound like a bunch of extreme hard left froot loops. Not everyone will agree with you.

It's called democracy.

as they say not every Reform voter is racist but every racist voted reform

 

[wearedoomed]

Feels like Brexit all over again. People being told they were twats for planning to vote Leave voted that way anyway.

Same goes for the tactic of calling folk ‘racist’ when they disagree with your opinion. I think we’re all a bit tired of it. Kind of ironic too when Labour have proved to be anti-Semitic on numerous occasions.

I’ll vote Reform because neither Labour or Tories deserve my vote. And if it winds up a bunch of rabid lefties then all the better.

 

[Moronic]

I voted labour. I’m delighted. And a bit gobsmacked.

Kept starmer ain’t perfect. But he’s a damn sight better than that lot of self serving sociopaths we’ve had running the joint.

 

[LittleMissOnions]

exactly - I'd have compulsory voting if by some mad fluke I win tonight They think it will be a low turnout cos so many people are disillusioned by politics.....surely if you're unhappy thats even more reason to vote. I'd understand not turning up if everything was working out brilliantly!! Some people in the world genuinely have to bloody say in who runs their country.....sorry its a really bugbear of mine.

I’m with you on this, I also as a woman find it beyond belief that someone female doesn’t vote, woman died for this right and there’s still countries in this world where you have no say simply because of your gender.

Surely you owe it to these people to exercise this valuable right?

Whilst you might not care for Farage as a person, I’d love to know why people have a problem with Reform’s manifesto? Like, what about voting for that makes anyone a thick twat?

It's not that I "don't like" Farage as a person, it is that he is a dangerous populist fascist who shouldn't be anywhere near the government of a civilised, democratic country. I think lots of politicians are tits but I don't consider many of them as an active danger to democracy. See also: Trump.

Hilarious that Reform voters would definitely call me a rabid lefty when actually my politics are only just very slightly left of centre. The actual rabid lefties would call me Tory lite. Just goes to show the thinking power of those at either extreme of the political spectrum, or lack thereof.

I don’t think Reform will win the election, but I also don’t think the outcome would necessarily be bad if they did.

Whereas with Labour it definitely will be, given that I’m working for a living. I remember the last time they ran the country and it was a shitshow.

Not that the Tories would be any better. They can get in the sea the lot of them.

I disagree, if Reform win the election this country will crash and burn. Their economic policies are Liz Truss's on steroids. The NHS will be privatised (Farage himself has been open about this). I suppose if you're wealthy you'd be ok.

I also remember the last Labour Government too - it may not have been perfect, but life and living standards were so much better than they are now. I was always able to get a same day GP appointment and cancer treatment started within weeks (and in some cases days) of diagnosis. This doesn't happen now.

My home town was a nicer place to live in 2010 compared to now. There was a thriving town centre, a local library that was well used, a fully functioning fire station, a police station, sure start centres, youth connexions and schools that had improved massively. Our Labour MP was well known and well liked in the community as he spent a lot of time in the area outside of the election cycle. He fought for every town in the constituency - not just the town he lived in.

Now? The shops have all closed. The Library - closed. The sure start centre, youth connexions - closed. The fire station - closed. The police station - closed. The schools are falling apart due to neglect and lack of funding. Crime is up, unemployment and homelessness are up. Rents are high and the town looks dirty, run down and ruined. The Tory MP only shows her face during election time, she treats her constituents with contempt and only the town she lives in gets the funding for nice things. The other towns in the constituency have been given nothing and have been left to fester.

 

[biscuitthief]

I despise Starmer. He's a smarmy antisemite - and our future dictator BUT in saying that your friends absolutely wasted their vote with Tory. They would have been better with Reform.

The anti-Semite whose wife is Jewish? Who has recently been criticised for wanting to observe Shabbat with his family. Call him what you like but he isn’t an anti semite.

 

[Notworthy]

You would vote to screw the country to wind up some “lefties?” Oh dear.

See here's the thing about democracy, everyone gets a vote to use how they see fit or not. If someone wants to use their vote to wind up some lefties so what, it's their vote. I've voted simply to attempt to save a candidates deposit because there were no viable options and that is my right to do.
Really fucking tired of people having a superiority complex on here.
Oh and I'm voting Tory for the 1st time in years because they appear to be the only party that know what a Woman is. My vote, my choice.

 

[HelloStereo]

I thought this had been posted very recently but I can't see the post to give credit. When people say they're voting for Farage because he's "a man of the people" it always reminds me of this proverb.

 

[YellowMellow14]

I'd love it if Farage wasn't one of the 13

 

[kev1974]

nah you’re alright mate, thanks

 

[pommobear]

Ah yes let's have another labour government. Do come back in a decade when we're even more in debt, paying higher taxes and probably back in recession like the last Labour government left the country in...

Mate you do know that recession was global, don't you.

Things are sooooo much better now, aren't they?! I don't know what I love more, swimming in shit infested rivers, the fact our maternal death rate is one of the highest in Europe, the rotting fruit and veg in the supermarket....it's difficult to choose really, isn't it?

 

[Chickenandgravy]

I used to always vote because woman died so I could but this year I don't know if I will, they are all hopeless. I feel like we are doomed in any direction

 

[Miss Begotten]

Do we think people actually want reform or voting them as they don’t want Tory but refuse to vote labour?

I think there is unfortunately a hardcore of racist bastards in this country who are too thick to realise that Reform won’t do a damn thing to help them.

 

[Casperron]

I think social housing should be the norm for everyone. Lifetime tenancies, cheaper rent, repairs legally have to be done on time. There should be enough of it that it should be accessible for everybody and private renting dies out. I live in a housing association house and I’d never give it up.

 

[BaxterBillions]

I fully expect them to end the limit of two kids for child benefit. Benefit breeders will be quids in. Don’t give me that shit about child poverty, no one has the human right for their child to be subsidised by everyone else as you decide to have loads of them. And then neglect them, leaving schools and social services to pick up the mess.

And we’re not short of people in this country either so fuck off with the ‘who will pay your pension’ bollocks.

Reads like the type of lazy crap someone like Richard Littlejohn would pump out for the Daily Mail. Give your head a wobble.
