Don’t get me wrong, I will probably cave at the last minute and vote SNP again for a number of reasons. Mostly, being supportive of a number of their progressive policies that I have benefited from over the years, and also because my constituency is a two horse race between them and the Tories who I will never vote for. Though the SNP are probably now at their lowest point in years since they finally managed to oust Sturgeon.
I will also never vote Labour, they have no identity here and during the 2019 election they were campaigning for the Tories to oust SNP here, so 100% fuck them too.
I once voted for Lib Dem and we ended up with the catastrophic Clegg/Cameron coalition (though due to FPTP my vote didn’t matter there.)
I would like to vote for Green, but it would be a wasted vote here.
It’s just bizarre to me that Westminster’s voting system is such that a vast majority of votes in the UK are binned, how is this considered normal?
Sorry for the rant, but I am just so incredibly disillusioned with politics in this shitehole of a country but absolutely refuse to be passive about it since that is what they want us to be.
No need to spoil the ballot, if none of the people running represents you, you have the ability to vote none, which is what I’ll be doing (with absolutely no expectation of it actually changing anything, just like a vote for any of the other parties won’t change anything, because electoral politics is a charade designed by the powerful to make sure they stay in power, and playing their game will never gain us freedom, but it’s literally the bare minimum)
Okay sure but with the caveat literally anybody would be better than the Tories.
At this point I would settle for competent cronyism, rather than the incompetent cronyism which is what we currently have.
That webpage does not describe a current ability to vote none. Instead it simply argues for a possible means of achieving a future ability to vote none. And to me it’s a pretty feeble suggestion.
What you’ve said is not true. One does not have the ability to vote none.
