Non voter

Deleted User

#Starmer #LabourParty It seems they are intent on doing all they can to make me a non voter. Their stance on welfare is my primary reason for believing that. Yes the Tories and Reform would be even worse,but I need more than just 'at least they're not as bad' to cast a future vote for Labour. I need to know they genuinely care about the disabled and/or vulnerable...That they're not going to punish them for the bad and irresponsible behaviour of those far more fortunate in life. Sadly the signs are far from good. Voting for a Labour party that regards bullying the disabled and/or vulnerable as an acceptable way of proving how competent, and strong, it is, doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.

    We could always start taxing the wealthy instead and close down the many loop holes they use to avoid paying their fair share. Yes, they did take on a lot of issues but continuing the assault on the vulnerable is not going to grow the economy.

    I agree that Labour inherited a disaster and that we need to give them time to fix things which won't happen over night, but they don't need to compound the difficulties with things like cutting the winter fuel payments to all but those who can claim pension credits. I do agree that it's ridiculous for the wealthy to recieve it, but wouldn't it be better done through the tax system, if you pay a higher rate of tax on your savings and investments, then you don't need a winter fuel payment.

    I don't agree with everything the green party say either.

    Being given time and not treating the disabled and/or vulnerable  badly, aren't mutually exclusive.
