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.

  • That's one of the reasons I became a non voter - none of them care about the vulnerable.

    Labour have also taken away the winter fuel allowance for most pensioners and have kept the personal tax allowance frozen, which increases the tax burden on the poorest.

    Another non voter here, I don't think in all the time I did vote my vote ever counted for anything and I'm fed up with voting for the least worst, so a plague on all of them!

    Brexit and Donald Trump only happened because so many people didn’t vote

    But the people who didn't vote in the Brexit referendum could have voted - it was their choice not to participate in that decision. We don't know how they would have voted, so you cannot assume that if they had all voted we would have remained in the EU.

    Brexit was voted for by just 17.4 million people out of an electorate of over 46 million.

    I voted in the brexit referendum, I think it was an unually high voter turnout too.

    I think if I had been American I wouldn't of voted, it seemed like asking people if they'd prefer to be strangled or beaten?

    I only stopped voting a few years ago. I did vote in the Brexit referendum because every vote counted - unlike in a general election where If I vote for a party that doesn't get a majority in my constituency, my vote is ignored.

    However, I voted for Brexit, but I respect the choice of people who voted against it as long as they don't vilify me for my choice. I'm not right wing - I have voted Labour many times, but have voted for other parties too.
