General Election - 4th July 2024

[BlueHammer85]

Seven million people eligible to vote have not registered and the deadline is today.
I bet quite a few of them will complain when anything goes wrong!!
My mind boggles that anyone would give up their right to vote. There are millions across the world who would dearly love to be able to vote as freely as we are.

Sorry just my moan. I don't care who you vote for but please vote. It was a hard earned privilege for ordinary folk. JMHO

Do these people know if they're registered or not? how do you actually know.

Just out of interest, if you were forced to vote who would you vote for?

I saw the report on the news reports. The Mirror, the Electoral Commission urging people to register by tonight.

based on manifestos I'd go Lib Dem.

But i want to play my part in trouncing the Tories, so i'll go Labour. well played Starmer.

I'm a fairly solid Labour voter but I have voted for other parties.

I can understand that people really can't find something they want to vote for. But with such total arseholes (Reform for example) in the mix I would always vote for something in order to register a vote against them.

Democracy is ultimately a huge exercise of compromise.

Im going Lib Dem personally this time around. I strategically voted Labour last time and it made no difference so just going with my real world preference.

My prediction, next election will be Labour v Reform and it's going to be horrifically close like Trump and Biden.

everything in the next few years will be Labours fault, the right wing are so fuckin loud and annoying and they'll keep on and on about Migrants, Economy, 'Woke' etc - more and more people are getting their news from social media and will be trapped in all this rhetoric - then there's the factor of Farage who is unfortunately very influential and charismatic.

I do hope i'm very wrong.
