​​​@@alice1374it's the only option I'm afraid. The problems with labour are a mix of getting into bed with business, unwillingness to do away with brexit policies but also the economy is so poor at the moment that there is little wiggle room for big change. The only silver lining might be that stamers strategy of dk nothing and let the tories eat themselves has to change once in power

​​​@@chindit6784why don't they run on a platform that allows them to do things then...? Surely it makes sense from a standpoint of view that allowing yourself to do things by changing parts of policies i.e things to do with Brexit, sectors that aren't working as intended privatised take water for example brought out for no more than £1 as that's what they were all sold for. Basically, allow the economic side of things able to change instead of being stuck in the same dilemma "can't do that because the economy is bad" well, if you don't plan to do anything to change that outlook either how do you expect to be able to? Also it should be pointed out that Starmer is an authoritarian figure. He just wants power, nothing else. I see very little accountability under his government. And therefore very little hope that he will shift. Right now he's looking to grab over 65 disillusioned Tory voters. What does that say about the party as a whole?

Exactly. I would be a Labour voter, but I'm so annoyed with how Labour is run I'm voting for the Greens because they're much closer to the policies I consider we need. I should also point out that based on trying to save the NHS from constant privatisation, Labour isn't the option either. The greens actually defend what the NHS stands for! Unfortunately, under this FPTP system we will never see a huge win for the greens. Either way, an increase in vote share means they can be seen more widely and out there so people know there's an option other than the two main parties or the lib dems for example.

They've been ignoring all of us.

They're voiceing exactly the same concerns I have as a sixty odd year old.

Kick out the greedy & help the needy.

I'm Gen Z and I've seen all social help, whether that's mental health, social housing, or the NHS constantly cut year on year. The poor continue to get poorer whilst the rich keep getting richer. The mark of a successful civilisation is how it treats the poorest in society, and we have failed massively.

They’ve lost my vote on the oil licenses, the housing situation is a joke but has been under both Labour and Tory for decades!

The politicians are not listening to Young people . Young people have no chance in getting ahead in life when wages stay the same and everything is getting more expensive. Rishi is out of touch he needs to go

If you want change you'll have to vote for it, not voting just means excepting more of the same & voting Reform UK would just mean an even more extreme version of what we've already got.

I am aged 45, little trust in politicians , I have 0 trust in the Conservative party . I needed help for mental health for decades .

People mostly buy cigarettes to deal with stress though so it'll be difficult to stop people so reliant on them like that.

Many boomers may not like this but we are now seeing people like and younger leaving the country because the politicians have neglected the country they have prioritised their ambitions, ideology, and beliefs for that of the country and now the UKs future is in trouble. These young people have every right to complain they have been given the short straw and now they ar having to pay for it at an earlier age when I hear my father talk about the old days they were hard, but when you have access to education housing and it costs more then you are given in as student loan ort a part-time job can pay for and you cannot even live on what's left over I think the government have really done what young people say and to be honest their majority so these politicians need to grow so backbone and admit they let young and elderly people down. Young people are asking to live and afford a future for themselves dso they can grow in the country they still call home, so for me it is absolutely looney that students are asking to get more funding or cut tuition fees and increase the loan contribution build and extend student housing so it is privatised to the point it is survival of whos got the most cash. These short sited policies have destroyed the country young and the only way back is to help the current generation and reset things so the next generation has a chance, education cannot be for free at higher education but it needs to be affordable along with housing 250k for a house is hardly affordable now so politicians do live in a sims world.
