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.

  • I believe it’s important to vote for someone, even if it’s the least worst option, but I think the arguments for and against are not always clear cut in today’s world. I also believe it’s is important to offer financial protection and a living income to those who are unable to do any work through sickness or disability. It is sickening how society has demonised these people.

    Voting is enabling a corrupt system that needs to collapse under the weight of its own corruption and is too corrupt beyond repair to ever again be fit for purpose, regardless of who one votes for, it makes no difference any more - if voting really did anything useful, voting would be illegal - democracy is deception, illusion and delusion - there is no political nor democratic solution - I used to believe in democracy and the democratic process, the courts etc, before Covid in 2020, but during 2022, I gradually realised that it was all a total sham and a total con - my native Ireland is very close to total collapse long before the U.K. and besides, we are far closer than ever to a global nuke war than we have ever been during the Cold War with so many other hostile nuke nations hostile to the west having nukes and they are not afraid to use them - if any attempt is made by NATO or the CCP to invade Russia after its defeat in Ukraine, even if Putin and/or his generals are removed from power, Russia’s nukes are on an automatic firing system and despite what they said to Russia and everyone else, if it suits them, the CCP will fire its nukes at the West if they feel it’s to their advantage

    Good lord, you must be fun to be sat next to at a dinner party LOL

    What things inspire hope and joy for you? Puppies, long walks on the beach, a freshly baked cake?

    Finding the balance to so much negativity about the world is important to peoples mental health so I wonder how you manage this.

    For me it is working with my hands and doing charity work plus I love good food - these things all make me smile and forget about all the bad things in life for at least a little while.

    All that said, I agree the voting system is pretty unfit for purpose, but there is yet to be a significantly better solution. PR is better but not by much.

    Interesting. He was still describing himself as gay in posts only 7 days ago.

    I suspect Irish is going through something at the moment.

       Maybe take a break and reflect on what you’re going through?
