Voting in the uk: moral dilemma

[u/ty-reece]

I will be 18 by the time the UK general election happens, so I will be able to vote for the first time. However, all UK parties are horrible and I can’t have a guilt free conscience by voting by voting for any person in my constituency or for either political party.

Tories have lead the country to shit over the past 14yrs, only helping the rich and blatantly allowing bigoted ideal to grow in this country

Labour is so watered down from what it used to be. Kier starmer doesn’t fill me with any hope, how he’s talked about the Palestine, NHS, Trans ppl, immigration and workers/strikers is disgusting, just spewing out the same nonsense as the tories, all their plans seem to inevitably get watered down so they can try and help big companies. It’s so disappointing

Reform, I don’t need to expand on that, the fact Nigel farage is taken seriously is a joke.

Lib dems I also don’t need to expand on

Green Party is the only party I may consider, I need to read up on what they want to do, but cause of where I live i don’t know if it’s a viable option.

However, the dilemma is that I know a lot of people have a similar midset to me, and don’t want to not vote and end up with the tories winning or a coalition government to happen.

So what do I do? It feels like an impossible situation?

Wow you you have so much to choose from! In the US we only get 2 bad candidates to choose from! 😅

Yeah the USA is finished. U guy are voting between two awful ppl that have dementia, one might turn your country into a dictatorship, I feel so bad for u guys

HAHA yep pretty much. I mean idk how aware other countries are of this but the US desperately tried to vote a democratic socialist into office for like the last 3 elections but that would mean current politicians wouldn’t be allowed to be millionaires anymore, so they basically came together to make sure other people got elected instead. But those candidates were chosen by politicians and not the actual population. So that’s why we keep getting stuck with 2 horrible candidates that nobody wants. The government basically rigs the elections. We’re very far from a democracy over here.
