Okay, so presumably you clicked on this post because you're 18-24 and are not going to vote in the upcoming General Election. As a 22 year old young British woman, I totally get it. I never had any real education on politics in school - my family are also not political, so throughout my teens, politics always seemed incomprehensible. That was until the last UK election in 2015, when I finally decided to buck up my ideas and get involved, as it was the first election I was actually old enough to vote in. I still quite firmly believe that General Elections are a load of codswallop and a lot of politicians are just very well taught manipulators, spewing shit. That said, Britain is my country and I reserve my right to have what little say in it I can. In this post I'm going to be debunking your excuses to help you realise that you too, should be exercising your right to vote. Let's start with...

"I Don't Know Who To Vote For"

Really? Or have you just not done enough research? Same goes for "they're all as bad as each other" - we know that, the whole of the UK knows that. You just have to use your better judgement to pick a party that you think is the lesser of two evils (sigh). We're a generation who've grown up with information at our fingertips with the internet, there is nothing stopping you from doing some research about the parties; heck, there's even quizzes such as ISideWith to help you find out which party your beliefs coincide with. No excuses now.


If you really can't make a decision because you truly do not support any of the parties then fair play. But personally, I void any non-voters complaints on the winning party invalid - no vote, no opinion.
