But Leanne has a lovely voice. I'd vote for her voice alone.

the candidate here has been basicly chasing people down the highstreet

I live in Dundee East, which is a safe SNP seat. I haven't seen any of my candidates.

I've been hoping the Labour one would chap my door so I could tell her what I thought of her party.

Please everybody, go out and vote. I'm not saying what party your should vote for, as that is up to you, but for the sake of the country, vote for somebody.

Think of people in countries like North Korea, Zimbabwe, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and many more, where democracy is either non-existent, or a farce. Countries in which the regime's thugs can come knocking on your door in the dead of night, to drag you off, simply for having a different view.

We are very lucky in the UK, and most of Europe (well, Hungary is looking a bit dodgy at present I guess) but do not take universal suffrage for granted. Remember, people died for this.

I'm sure those suffering in the countries you mentioned will be absolutely delighted to hear things are much better here

how abt voting for a party you liked instead of spoiling the ballot? just a thought.

to be honest, spoiling the ballot isnt a protest, no one cares

Spoiling a ballot is more of a protest than not voting.

I voted Lib Dem myself. Mostly cause before Norman Baker my constituency was tory for a century. Stuff a return to them. My sister gets to vote for Caroline Lucas the lucky beggar.

To the people who might vote tory purely on the basis that labour is incompetent, instead of an ideological basis, don't. The labour leadership is not incompetent, and if they are they will find people who are. The tories are competent at what they do, which is pursue the interests of wealth division and top level wealth. They stole the royal mail and sold it for a pittance, killed the best performing rail service because, as it was nationalised, it went against their narrative and even tried to sell the forests. The tories might be competent at achieving their goals, but those goals are not in our interest.
