Especially if he is the second word of his username

I may well do, I’m fucking useless so I’ll fit right in ;)

So you won't vote for a Labour government because people won't vote for them?

nope because they are not the Labour I think they should be at the moment.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Would they form a better government that the current one?

Could t be any worse, 12 years of their shite, time to move on.

So they may get in anyway if floating voters are beginning to think like that.

To all the "can't be arsed" "they're all the same" "they're not what I want" crowd, who decide they won't vote, you are just giving the Tories your vote.
Why's that?
Because you aren't voting against them and they could survive to carry on with this shitshow.
Sometimes you have to appreciate that you have to vote for something in order to vote against something else and even if it isn't perfect it has to be better than keeping the status quo.

Cue the bloke on Look North West during the 2005 election who said he thought Labour were doing a good job so he didn't need to bother voting.

 

[The perfect fumble]

??? He was elected as leader by the members.

He was and I voted for him.

That's true but it will also become an issue for Conservatives as well. Large numbers of traditional Conservatives chose to abstain in Tiverton and Honiton, a silent protest, if you will, against Johnson. Should his pattern of behavior continue for another two years, and I see no reason to believe it won't, then the Conservatives may be faced with a growing number of voters who become sufficiently disillusioned with him that they just do not vote. In that regard, a card that the Opposition parties have not yet played is equating a vote for the Conservatives as a vote that endorses Johnson's behavior; at that point, not voting may become just as effective a weapon.

When I hear somebody saying that I just take it that they are Tories anyway but don’t want to be associated with the shit-show we are in at the moment.
