Answer - I won't. Democracy doesn't work anymore. People vote on simple slogans (like Starmer's CHANGE when he wants stabilty - which means no change). I think Sunak is the best of the three lacklustre leaders and could never vote for Starmer "You will be believed". Davey is not worth considering (Nick Clegg was good). But there will be no difference whichever party is elected.

But we don't have stability currently. So a lot would have to change to get it.

I don't think those sick of the cost of living, continued record use of food banks, and the continuous claims from Sunak the sunny days are just around the corner if we wait a bit longer for him to deliver them will be thinking about mere slogans. Nor will they be interested in choice statistics from the soon to be former pm. I know I'm not. Good riddance to the man I say.

(As for Clegg, the liberals have still never recovered from his 'rose garden' days with Cameron).

I do broadly agree and am no fan of Starmer's Labour. But I think a signal needs to be sent to the Gov. These last 14 years have seen us enter the gutter politically. It has been the most incompetent and corrupt (ppe contracts) regime I have known. I hope the voters wipe them out.

Given where I live though I shan't waste my time walking to the polling station.

My ideal outcome would be that everyone else does the same and no one votes as a protest against our patronising, disingenuous headline dodging, amoral political class.

What kind of answer is not voting though?

It's a bit like deciding not to put the key in your car ignition when you want to go on a journey. You are guaranteeing it won't work then and you won't be making the journey very far.

I think what's more interesting now is who Starmer's successor as PM will be, presuming that's another Labour leader. I was thinking this myself and then heard it said aloud on radio this morning the view that there will be plans by the Corbyn wing to remove Starmer after a year in office and install their own far left candidate again into the premiership. Fanciful? Maybe, but who in 2010 would have ever believed a Conservative party would have burned through five PM's in only 14 years, not much longer than the whole time Thatcher was in office to herself.

I'll be voting Reform. Bloody shocking though that Farage thinks helping Trump win re-election in Novemeber is more important than the UK election here at home.

I expect that Farage isn't going to stand for election as he can claim to be more influential - and probably earn more, I would bet that that is a major consideration - doing what he's doing now. That he'd consider helping Trump more important than the UK election just shows his supposed patriotism for what it is. He's a conman, like Trump.

Just suppose for one moment that nobody chose to vote in the General Election. I mean literally nobody. It was an electorate so disgusted by the political state this nation has sunk into that there was a 100% boycott of the election.

What the heck would happen in that scenario?

(the party leaders would of course vote, they need the photo op with the partner!)

No. It is knowing that the car died a few years back and there is no point putting the key in the ignition in the first place because no journey can any longer be made in it...

I see it more like being presented with two broken down cars and having to pick one.

Broken cars can be fixed Wyot, parts can be salvaged the government can't!

If Trump does not win, then America will fall and the UK will follow suit if Keir wins. USA is already bankrupt and facing countless migrants from Asia and Africa crossing their border.

Keir will sell any assets he can find just like Gordon Brown did.


Remember Keir, wanted us to be into a stricter lockdown like China where people's doors were shut by welders and pet owners needed their pets killed.
