We live in a democracy! We have the right to vote whoever we chose.

By all means educate or express the reasons why you are voting for x.

But stop insulting or trying to guilt people into choosing the same vote as you.

You reached your decision using your own mind. So therefore let others!! Ffs.

YES!

I am so fed up for these threads trying to 'persuade' people to vote for a certain party. I've even seen a few trying to guilt you into voting for certain parties!
I can't wait for this to be over. No one can change the decision regardless of who wins, so it's time people just accept that. When AIBU stops being clogged with politics il be happy Grin.

Wine and Cake for such a marvellous thread. Agreed.

lubeybooby · 07/06/2017 19:48

indeed vote for who you want but PROPERLY educate yourself first, don't go by the papers all owned by billionaires.

The internet is a brilliant thing, you can check manifestos and voting records and get past the scaremongering - a lot of which has been racist, hateful and disgusting. A fair few papers should be shut down for their inciting of hatred.

Smellbellina · 07/06/2017 19:49

I don't know why people get so upset about those threads. I really don't.

TheFaerieQueene · 07/06/2017 19:50

The voice of sanity!

justbinthefeckinbyebyebox · 07/06/2017 19:51

Thank you so much for that!
Roll on Saturday.

PortiaCastis · 07/06/2017 19:52

I am fed up with folk telling me what to do, how to vote etc. I can think for myself and don't need the patronising shite

gamerwidow · 07/06/2017 19:52

Vote for who you like but make sure you understand what you are voting for please. Obviously if you want to vote in ignorance that's your choice too but it's not in your best interest.
Anyway won't it be great on Friday when we're all friends again Grin

Madbengalmum · 07/06/2017 19:53

Thankyou OP for a common sense thread at last. Sick of the fascists on here.

PortiaCastis · 07/06/2017 19:53

Point proved

Smellbellina · 07/06/2017 19:53

It's hardly undemocratic is it

FoxSticks · 07/06/2017 19:56

Yes do please educate yourself and do some research. Don't feel you have to vote a certain way because someone on the internet is calling you a cunt.

Ravenblack · 07/06/2017 19:57

Oh yeah, some people do like to think only THEY are right!

I was talking to someone today who went on a mammoth rant about Theresa May and came out with all these reasons Mr Corbyn is a fucking legend. 50% of what she said was utter bollocks. I just sat there and smiled...........thinking poor deluded little millennial.

PortiaCastis · 07/06/2017 19:58

Stop telling us what to do please

Smellbellina · 07/06/2017 20:01

poor deluded little millennial.
Ah there's the Tory spirit!

SquinkiesRule · 07/06/2017 20:02

Yes vote for whoever you want, no one elses business.
I'm getting a bit sick of people judging others choices.
Unhitch the judgy pants people, you're cutting off your the blood supply.
No doubt this board will be full of whoa is me, we're all going to hell/die/be over run with terrorists/immigrants/ whatever you are afraid of by Saturday.

Smellbellina · 07/06/2017 20:03

People can say/post as they please as long as it isn't offensive.. Don't read them no one's forcing you to

PortiaCastis · 07/06/2017 20:03

I think things about folk but I don't post them

Ravenblack · 07/06/2017 20:05

@smellbellina And there's the tory spirit

Grin LOL!

The thread title is great

wordgirl · 07/06/2017 20:09

ChinaRose, your brother is a twat.

HarryHarlow · 07/06/2017 20:11

No wonder the polls aren't accurate anymore - people are afraid to say they are voting Conservative for fear of being called a cunt

Hiphopopotamus · 07/06/2017 20:12

I'd say if you can afford to be jaded by it, rather than terrified, then you're in an incredibly privileged position.

People are genuinely afraid they're not going to be able to feed their families, that they're going to be forced to work through their disability. People are scared - so they try and persuade others to see things from their point of view.

So yes, in my opinion, YABU. But glad that you'll be able to forget about it all in a few days

altiara · 07/06/2017 20:14

It was revealed today that JK Rowling has finally finished the next script for fantastic beasts and where to find them 2
