I think thats a little harsh, and almost certainly incorrect
That kinda sentiment re; Politicians 'all in it for themselves so I won't be voting' - it's understandable why there is so many folk who are feeling this way. But as above, It's not quite accurate. The choice we're left seems garbage, is what it is, and will be a long, long time until anything like that changes.
The incompetence and betrayal of the public over the past decade under Tory rule breeds so much apathy among the voting public -it is a winner for a Tory party currently up to it's knees in scandal after scandal. Less at the polls work in their favour obviously.
But surely, Labour represents the lesser of the two evils if you want to look at it that way. Certainly, they're now going to have to convince the real working class, But if people would rather not vote come the next big one, then that's their choice entirely.
It is a shame though, that so many votes will be wasted because of this. Part of the job remaining for Labour is to turn the heads of these would-be voters. Encourage them to reconsider. You're angry at Boris Johnson and we have a solution... A large section will be from the 'Brexit' era and ideas have to be pitched, something that makes them feel included and build their trust, Convince us that politics doesn't have to be 'red vs blue' at war' rendering it next to impossible to get anything done collaboratively over both sides the aisle.
Easier said than done. Starner and co. still have their work cut out (understatement
But yeah, the Tories are in Govt as we speak,,, most of their MPs certainly are 'in it for themselves ... but there are some damn good MPs in that place still who work hard for their constituents, and are not just there on a stepping stone to line their pockets. That is not just saying it's MPs in parties on the opposition side of the house. There are also many very decent, Conservative MPs who are passionate about the country succeeding and want their constituents' lives to improve.
God, in times like this I miss Mo Mowlam. Shows show far things have fallen when we have the likes of Jacob Young there currently. Honestly do not understand how that little doyle got into politics. Soon as he is out, I can stop having to catch his face on the backbenches at PMQs looking at Boris like he's completely in love with him, Other than that, I am not entirely sure what else he has done for his constituents? Get a haircut in Redcar and then upload a photo of himself while getting it done, making some joke about 'Tory Cuts' ??? Helpful, I'm sure that helped endear him to families who have been on their knees, particularly the past two years or so. Many there were left deeply hurt during Ian Duncan Smith's welfare reform program, which left many families, working people queueing in foodbanks, and more - Which young Jake found appropriate to use as inspiration to joke about on his social media
I am hoping he is voted out by a huge majority come to the next GE. Not one to judge, I try my best, but soon as I saw him in the local rag when he'd won the seat in a bit of an 'about me ... I knew the world was starting to end. I expressed my disappointment on Twitter and he blocked me within seconds. Ha ha ha
