I voted.
Conservative.
And then I was down at the student’s union having a pint of cider with some acquaintances.
Who thought I was the scum of the Earth because I “voted the wrong way.”
They were unanimous in the belief that “It is people like me” (the ones exercising their democratic right to vote for whoever they choose too) “that is what is wrong with this country. If we had our way, (in a proper democracy) you wouldn’t be allowed to vote for the wrong candidate.”
That isn’t how democracy works you arseholes!
The biggest irony is that more than half of the people I spoke to (about 30 people), when I questioned them, said they hadn’t voted.
With the reasons given being about evenly split between “It’s not worth it, it won’t make a difference” and “I couldn’t be bothered.”
Fuck this country and fuck my generation for being so complacent.
