The **** is the point in going and spoiling your ballot. What a waste of time and petrol.

My polling station is in the Church at the end of the lane, no petrol and hardly any time at all <3

But the point is that it signals a "no-one, they're all crap" while still using your vote.

A boot stamping on a human face.

Not voting is basically voting for the status quo which means you're supporting the tories tbh.

I will be voting, it's ultimately in vain since too many people vote against their own interests but at least I can say I did my part.

Kizzy 11-12-2019 09:51 PM

It is your civil duty to vote it's at the core of democracy, to say 100 years ago roughly women fought, starved and died for the vote to spoil your paper is mocking that struggle.

I know so many people who have said they are either not going to bother voting or will attend and spoil their ballot as voter apathy seems to be the highest I have ever known.

So if you are of age to vote...will you get out and pop a cross in a box or just not bother?

Done my by post its going to rain tomorrow ha

I’m guessing that 100 years ago the politicians weren’t all lying , dishonest , immoral bloodsuckers..

I'm not sure I agree with that Kizzy. I would rather women attend the polling station and spoil their ballot than not turn up at all. That way, they are still respecting the women who fought to give us that right and exercising their democratic right to vote but if they don't believe in any of the parties manifestos.....why should they choose?

I will vote but I can understand the apathy.of some voters

if you spoil your paper you are not voting .. the ballot paper is void. No manifesto is going to speak to each of us individually on every policy promise as we would like. You vote by and large on the ideology that syncronises with your personal principles.
This is how I understand the ethics of voting.

Like I said to Whatsit upthread, a spoilt ballot vote is an active F-you to all parties. Not even showing up is mocking the struggles of suffrage.

It isn't it's an f you to yourself if anything as the status quo will be maintained or deteriorate it's a massive risk not to participate.

But turning up and spoiling and not turning up at all achieves the same result? There's nothing to be gained from a spoiled ballot paper. :shrug: It's essentially giving up your vote.

I'm voting yes.
