Will you be voting in the general election?

[FloofyBird]

Turn out rates are never fantastic. I have an awful fear it will be like the Brexit vote, so many people will assume a certain outcome they won't bother voting at all.

And while the plebs are distracted as they fight amongst themselves, those at the top will continue to use the power we give them to ensure they stay right at the top of pile while the vast majority below struggle in this increasingly unfair society.

I can't imagine not voting, I want my say! I've never missed an election and I certainly won't miss the one I'm hoping we have later this year. I think it's going to be pretty interesting...

I'd love it if no one voted. No one at all.

Which would achieve what exactly?

Yes! That is a great idea. If only it could be done.

Turn out rates are abysmal.
Imagine if all the people who don't vote actually appreciated that they are privileged to be able to do so and exercised their right.

Being part of the change they wish to see. Instead of moaning about everything and opting out 🤔

I can't think of a better way of demonstrating what a useless load of talentless idiots we have to choose from.

I probably won't vote.

Women may have died to give me the right but I reserve the right to decide none of them are worth my vote

So is ours. I let my DS choose my postal vote because it doesn't really matter ( he voted green). I will vote in the GE. Labour, not just because I want to get the Tories out but because I like their candidate, and she has a good chance of overturning the Tory incumbent.

The better way is to spoil your ballot, because they get recorded as spoilt ballots and every candidate has to look at them. I was a count clerk at the last GE and the candidates had a variety of swear words and drawings of dicks to look through!

Yes. Time for a change.

Yes, Labour

For the first time, no. They're all a shit show.

Definitely will be turning out as I have done in every election, local and general since I came of age, even if I just go along to spoil my vote.

Yes.

Labour

Yes , I always see spoiling a ballot paper like having a tantrum , I don't like how they are voting so my best defence is to spoil my paper , that'll teach them 😦.
It teaches no body nothing .

Because they are so pro EU? Seriously? It’s the Tories fault we are out, plus they’ve made the worst possible hash of it and destroyed the country in several other levels as well, all while lining their own pockets and those of their friends.

It's my civic duty

I'm glad someone else picked up on this. I thought it was the most batshit thing I've read in quite some time. It's the Tories' fucking fault we are out of the EU.
As a matter of fact, Brexit was the last time I voted so I reserve the right to throw a tantrum/neglect my civic duty/eat shit for dinner and never vote again!
It's not the only reason, nor the main one actually, but it's a good enough one.
I can only echo the pp who said she'd love it if no one voted. At least then politicians couldn't tell you but we have a mandate for screwing you all over.

Farmers and landowners are renowned Tory voters.

I believe that we all have a duty to vote. I've always voted Labour in the past, but worry what I'd be voting for now. However, I live in Scotland so I will vote for whichever party will get the SNP out. That has to be my priority.

I will vote for one of the independent candidates. Safe labour seat so it won't make a difference. I always get a postal vote, I don't think I could be bothered to go in person.

No I am not voting. I really appreciate that women died for my right to vote, but that also includes my right to abstein. I hate the Tory’s and I can’t stand kier starmer. Sitting this one out!

The local election is tomorrow, we've had labour canvassing because the last time they didn't canvass they lost overall control of the council because the Tory candidates had been very actively canvassing.
We also have mayoral elections tomorrow

Yes, this. Unless there is a reasonable independent.
