I have made my views on voting known on many an occasion on this blog. The lady featured on this video from Novara Media shocked me. Someone who is politically aware should realised that you vote for the party you disagree with the least. Yes, ideally, a person should be inspired by a leader and vote for them based on a positive perception of them, but few are going to agree with everything any party leader is going to advocate, well few with a critical mind anyway. To put matters simply, each time you do not vote, you have no voice, but those who vote against the position you have do. To say that the Conservatives and Labour are the same ignores how they are different on matters such as the NHS or asylum.
The government have taken away the right to vote from too many people. Something that Jacob Rees-Mogg admitted to.
Yes, people have the right not to vote, but for someone who is aware of politics, to refuse to vote when the Conservatives are making it harder to vote is silly. And very sad.
