Don’t get me wrong, I will probably cave at the last minute and vote SNP again for a number of reasons. Mostly, being supportive of a number of their progressive policies that I have benefited from over the years, and also because my constituency is a two horse race between them and the Tories who I will never vote for. Though the SNP are probably now at their lowest point in years since they finally managed to oust Sturgeon.
I will also never vote Labour, they have no identity here and during the 2019 election they were campaigning for the Tories to oust SNP here, so 100% fuck them too.
I once voted for Lib Dem and we ended up with the catastrophic Clegg/Cameron coalition (though due to FPTP my vote didn’t matter there.)
I would like to vote for Green, but it would be a wasted vote here.
It’s just bizarre to me that Westminster’s voting system is such that a vast majority of votes in the UK are binned, how is this considered normal?
Sorry for the rant, but I am just so incredibly disillusioned with politics in this shitehole of a country but absolutely refuse to be passive about it since that is what they want us to be.
Do you feel conservatism is alive and flourishing in the next generation of voters?
Hmm.
Are we at the point of the young out voting the currently old? I don’t have the stats but my feeling is we aren’t at that tipping point for another ten years or so.
I’d say tories are losing out on this election because they’ve just pissed off the electorate so much, including their older voters. But I’d wager a number of those older voters will still be around and willing to vote Tories in the next election when there’s some more gutting of the country to benefit them.
But if you have stats that prove my feeling wrong I’d definitely want to see them, but I’m not interested enough to look it up myself :D
Yeah, fuck knows buddy. Some days I’m Captain Easy Answers, but today I’m happy with Col. Of Truth.
