Not everyone feels the way Ian McMillan does, about democracy, about voting. Not everyone realises how important they are in all of this. But we have a huge, vibrant, hope-full chance of removing the Conservatives from power on June 8th. I hear a lot of people in my day-to-day life feeling fed up of all the parties, fed up of personality politics and soundbite statements, who want to abstain from it all. I acknowledge your frustration, but please, do not let that cloud your ability to do something yourself.
This isn’t about participating in a system you don’t believe in, this isn’t about voting for someone you don’t 100% believe in. This is about getting rid of a cruel and callous Tory government that is physically crippling our society. This is a choice of allowing 5 more years of Tory rule that is killing people, or taking a stand.
Our government is choking the most vulnerable in society with the ever-growing cruelty of the welfare system, privatising education at all levels, squashing low-income children into humiliation, bullying our international workers and students, punishing those living with mental health and disabilities, and making life unaffordable. I work in the third sector, I work with people, people who this government are trying their damned hardest to shut out of society. I am tired and I am angry but I am still hopeful. Because we have the chance to change that.
If you know someone, anyone, who hasn’t registered to vote – please sit them down in front of a computer and get them to click https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote They have until 23:59 Monday 22nd (tomorrow!). It actually takes less than 2 minutes. Please, participate. To make a society that is representative of the people within it, we need the voices of those around us.
