Sorry about that.
Now I have your attention , could I remind you that tomorrow is the last day to register to vote.
One of the most sinister things going on in this election is the number of people going " No point in voting/ They're all the same/I don't feel in favour of any of them/it won't make any difference" (Is this a bot influenced campaign?)
Why?
Because if you're an extremist party/cabal, in order to get some power in a democracy, you need disillusioned people who don't bother voting: a high turnout will virtually guarantee that extremists are v unlikely to win. It's really that simple.
Why did we get Truss crashing the economy? Because the only people voting her in were mostly elderly, well off, and more right wing than most Tory voters.
Want to do something powerful in this election?
GET YOUNG PEOPLE TO REGISTER TO VOTE.
Get them to get their friends to vote.
Tell them why it's important: there's no abstaining- either you vote, or you're nodding along and giving your consent to the outcome. Vote for something, vote against something, but vote , because all that is needed for evil to triumph is that good people do nothing.
If , say, you've got 2 DC/neicephews/young co-workers, and you convince them, and they convince 2 more, that's 6 more people, most/ all of whom will vote against extremists.
