Not to vote

[Snorkmaidenly]

At home, exhausted, cooking kids dinner, I just can't be bothered. I always have voted, and tbh none of it has made a difference. I am still getting shafted left right and centre by every part of life. Lone parent, graduate educated, had enough, really tired and annoyed.

I'm with you. Doesn't make a blind bit of difference.

What pushes me is women giving their lives and being forced fed to get us the vote. I never take it for granted.

Since you feel unable to vote this time, how about registering for a postal vote to make it easier next time?

I always felt that way but I feel like I have no one to vote for now.

The Labour Party are just Tories and their attack on the vulnerable disgusts me and the Green Party are fighting against the Supreme Court ruling about women.

I voted but not sure if I will in future.

I was annoyed earlier when a Green Party worker knocked on my door, holding a roster of names, and said he just wanted to remind me that today is voting day. 😒

This 💯
You know you have until 10pm, right? When the children are in bed is there any chance you could get a neighbour to step for a few minutes while you go and do it?

People died so you can vote. It can’t be far away, surely?

I hear you. It's hard!

It isn't as if I don't use it it'll be taken away, is it. I'm just saying none of them represent me and I don't sense a difference to my life -- except none of them are on the side of single mums or women at all.

Whichever party is in won't make a difference. They'll line their own pockets and do nothing for the country or average joe.

Wish I could vote, but we are in one of the areas that is going to be merged and whoopi do get a mayor, so our election is cancelled. Also I normally do the count so I can't vote and I'm not getting paid 😥

Anyway I echo another poster, as Terry Pratchett said Going Postal is the way forward

I always vote, but I don’t like any of our candidates at the moment. Perhaps I should have gone and spoiled.

Ours are currently all Tories or Tories in disguise.

Reform are threatening too much here for me to not go out and vote as much as I can’t be arsed

Suffragettes died so we have the CHOICE not to make us vote.

I didn’t even know there was a vote 😬 I haven’t received a polling card. Is this national or only in some regions?

Having the right to vote also means you have the right to choose not to vote.

So do what you like without guilt!

You could spoil your ballot?

If you're registered to vote and don't then that's fine in my opinion, you're still registering your dissatisfaction with the system and get counted.

And all the women died to get the vote stuff gets on my nerves, so did working class men and no one gives them such a hard time about it. People died so that we had the right to vote, not so that we were forced to use it.
