Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

I get where you are coming from & well done for voting. I live in a country where voting is compulsory don't vote get fined. Maybe the UK should introduce it there. To be fair to my sister she always votes Labor & would have again if that was an option. She just couldn't vote for a bin & hates racists

It was a brick choice, binface is very much a candidate who isn’t standing to win. I didn’t vote binface because I genuinely thought “this guy will be great for us!” Maybe he would have been 😂 who knows.

I’m the same as your sister, I also hate racists, so let’s not empower them. The best way to do this is just vote for anyone else. There was a lot of independents, some of them just had about doing things like fixing potholes - great, very much needed, so vote for that person because it shows you don’t support racists and actually maybe you get a pothole fixed, bonus!

Sometimes we have to boil it down to basics and for me I’d rather people point and laugh at me for voting for a bloke dressed as a bin, than I would people look at me and know I didn’t try and stop or speak up against the racists. I’m sure when the next by election rolls round in a few months that other parties will stand again, and hopefully by that point your sister has better options or at the very least someone has fired Farage into the sun.

I'd rather people point and laugh at me for voting for a bin than have them think I'm OK with a racist representing me.
It really shouldn't be any deeper than that.
 
My sister & all of her family live in St Oysth none voted because it was a choice between a bin & a racist. If labour the conservatives or even a good local independent had stood they would have voted. if the two major parties couldn't be bothered why would the constituents

So they had a clear alternative to a racist but that wasn’t enough to get them out to vote?

My sister has various obstacles to vote the biggest one being she is blind but she votes at every election except this one. her choice was a bin or a racist so I respect & support her decision. if you were in her shoes you might have made the same decision.

Indeed I may have, fair point.

In my situation though I would have absolutely gone out to vote against the racist parties like bnp, the UKIPs and reform and I have done at every opportunity.
