Do you vote in political elections?
Though my vote often lands up outside the popular choice, much like the screwed up paper outside this bin.
It’s because I’m not an either/or person. I am not Labour or Conservative. I don’t vote based on the area I come from, family history, because I hate the rich or despise the poor.
It’s this polarisation that has broken British politics. Too much doing what you’ve always done rather than listening to other parties.
The Reform breakthrough gives me hope, even though they have an unelected leader. He left the leadership role, became president, and buggered off to America to support Trump.
Then when the person who replaced him started to do well, he came back, replaced him, and grabbed himself a parliamentary seat. That is not democratic.
For me everyone deserves to thrive, so I throw my vote away on a party that deserves a chance, that I would love to win, who were shot in the foot by their own voters for going into a coalition with the Conservatives.
They left in their droves, then when the party was destroyed as a result, they came back. The argument against voting for them was no government experience, they finally got it and their own members destroyed them. Pathetic.
However, it’s a slightly left of centre party and the best choice I can make. I vote because I believe they could represent positive charge.
Reform will create change, but they’re only attracting dissatisfied voters from the two biggest parties. They will probably become an either/or choice fairly quickly. I’ll still go straight through the middle.
I vote because it’s a privilege not to live in a dictatorship. I’m middle ground because everyone is valuable
Best love for a great day

I am sad that I couldn’t take the nastiness of politics as I would have loved to have tried to help my country.

A good thing about being you is that you can see, observe, speak facts in a straightforward manner.
Most people are aware of the reality of their countries.
1) But either they don’t care,
2) Or they just keep licking a politician’s boot – because they get paid in return.

That’s very kind of you to say, and people have noted that before. I was once told that I’d listen to a discussion then suddenly just plunge a knife into the heart of the problem. Listening to others speak is the most powerful way to work I find. I care deeply about my country, it’s multicultural aspects, and full inclusion. I hate the fact that the ‘poor’ keep falling further behind and the rich keep moving further in front. The poor aren’t in fact poor, they are disadvantaged, and there is a difference. It may be a learning disability, a bad school, no money to pursue their dream, no encouragement to do so. It was the fact that I would not boot lick and put party first that got me into trouble.

I wish I could do more & help you there.
I certainly have limits.
I come from India. I have chosen Modern Indian History as my subject; you know it’s incomplete without the involvement of the British.
Our politicians mock the parliamentary democracy.
A popular belief among the youth: “Politicians are doing comedy. And comedians are doing politics nowadays”.
