Politics: Do you guys find it hard to find a reason to vote anymore or is it just me.

I use to be a brittish conservative just so the yanks on here don't get confused but now I don't vote at all. I'm not even sure politics makes sense to me and see it more as a modern day religion or cult. When you watch people debate in parliament you have to question why do we allow these people to run the country at times. But voting genuinely seems pointless and doesn't seem to mean anything to me personally. Just find it odd how people get so wrild up about or defensive about if politics is like there life or something it's kind of sad really cause SDK yourself what do the government do for you besides raise taxes and make life more difuclt. By that I mean they claim to give us a pay rise then the next year they increase taxes which completely defetes the objective of a pay raise as even if your pay does increase by a small amount if taxes rise then your money still doesn't go far due to tax inflation canceling it out. It's as if they take us for fools.

  • Well, I find it hard to vote Tory because of the workers/shirkers narrative and squeeze on welfare which I think works against many autistic people.  So, at the very least, I think I need to vote to block them.  

  • I couldn’t agree with you more, having us looked after is good for everyone, at the very least we’re the canary in the coal-mine, you can always tell the state-of-humanity by the way a society treats its most-vulnerable. 

    Just look at Russia in the 1920s.. no one was ever loud enough amongst the Russian vulnerable, to report on their desolation, they simply vanished without a trace.. hell followed..
