In my lifetime I’ve experienced a number of British General Elections. I’ve been interested in politics in one form or another from a very young age and because of that I have seen voters faced with stark choices between chaos and order, between continuity and novelty and between perceived competence and incompetence. These were the choices put before voters in the very late 20th and early 21st centuries in the United Kingdom.
But, I don’t think I’ve ever seen an election that was such a ‘Hobson’s Choice’ of an election for voters. The choice that the main Conservative and Labour Parties are offering is bad either way. Labour offer nothing but disaster ahead with economic incompetence, massive tax rises, more pandering to Islam and more open borders. All the very things that are guaranteed to destroy Britain or lead it into civil conflict. The Tories under Theresa May are not much better. They may be the best bet for economic competence or for defending Brexit, but in other areas they do not have my trust. Theresa May’s performance at the Home Office plays a large part in that distrust. As Home Secretary she did nothing to curb the Islamopandering that has been going on in our police forces, did little to deal with extremist mosques and did little to protect the rights of Britons to speak freely their opinions on various things without fear of arrest or sanction.
The Liberal Democrats are not much better than the two main parties. We saw their incompetence when they were governing in Coalition with the conservatives and they cannot be trusted on security matters. This is because it was the Lib Dems who were the drivers behind the watering down of terrorist control orders whist in government. These orders, which although not as desirable as prison, internment or expulsion for these savages, would at least have restricted their contacts and movements. The Lib Dems are no longer to be trusted and as we’ve seen by their reaction to the Brexit vote, are no longer to be described as either ‘liberal’ or ‘democratic’. If you want to despise the Janus-faced Lib Dems then you have a multitude of reasons to do so.
Both main choices, Conservative or Labour, are bad and because of the closeness of the race, voting with ones conscience, which for many would be voting UKIP becomes more challenging. This challenge will vary from constituency to constituency. For example: Do you vote UKIP and risking a split in the patriotic vote and a soft Tory being replaced by a Cobynite wrecker or maybe ending up with Corbyn as PM? Or would ones UKIP vote cause a Labour candidate not to be defeated because votes that could have gone to the Tories have gone to UKIP. All these considerations need to be balanced.
However, whether you intend vote tactically, vote with your conscience or hold your nose and vote for the least worst option, then whatever you do make sure you get out and vote. Please don’t let the apathy party win. It was the ‘Apathy party’, remember, that went along way to landing London with the scumbag Sadiq ‘Saracen’ Khan as London’s mayor. If more Londoner’s had got off their arses and voted, they might not have ended being ruled over by this loud-mouthed and slippery Islamic Grand Pooh-Bah.
Not voting can often land a nation with a government that it doesn’t deserve rather than one that it both deserves and requires.
Personally I don’t think that Britain deserves the mess that the Labour Party will most certainly create and they will do nothing to improve the security situation but even, because of their Islamopandering,will make things much worse. The Labour/Islam Party (which is sadly what it has become) has blocs of voters that it can mobilise made up of Muslims and the brainwashed dolts of that modern analogue of the ‘Militant’ group, the Momentum sect. These blocs can only be defeated by ordinary decent patriotic citizens getting off their backsides and getting down to the Polling Station to vote against those who would wreck our nation for the sake of ideology.
This election is basically a choice between something awful and something not quite so awful and it was summed up for me by a commentator, whose name escapes me, on a bulletin board who recently said: ‘If you vote May at least she can be got rid of at some point. If we get Corbyn we’ll never be rid of him’. I think that the point this person was trying to make is that if we get May then she can be voted out by the nation or replaced by her party, whereas if we get Corbyn, then he will open the borders to all and sundry in order to create a dominant and permanent Labour voting bloc. We would then be saddled permanently with being governed by the very worst sort of Leftists. Labour have shown no moral qualms about shitting on their own traditional working class supporters with their migration, social and fiscal policies therefore they would equally have no moral qualms in destroying the nation in order to bring about their socialist utopia. May, for all her faults, and there are many, may not be that bad.
As I said at the beginning of this piece, this really is a ‘Hobsons Choice’ of an election where all main choices are bad and opting out of the process by voting for a minor, party or by not voting at all may ensure disaster. So whatever way you vote, whether you follow your head or heart, just make sure that you vote because you can be damned sure that those who do not have your best interests at heart are also preparing to vote. Choose a future, choose to vote.
I couldn’t agree more. I have been a UKIP member since 2012 previously conservative for well over 40 years.
I changed because of the party’s lurch to the authoritarian left.
However, where I am, UKIP have no chance of being elected and I stopped us fielding a candidate as otherwise it would possibly tip out a decent Eurosceptic pro-israel Tory MP in favour of a humourless, useless, race-baiting, scrote with the social skills of a viper and who shamelessly panders to any group who will give him their corrupt postal votes, particularly the religion-of-death.
If you havent yet voted, and I completely agree re the Tories terrible manifesto, keep Comrade Corbyn and his New Socialist Regime out, hold your nose and vote Conservative.
In northern areas where the Tories have no chance, vote UKIP. Ironically when you compare manifestos, theirs is by far the best.
I voted UKIP as I’m voting in a safe tory seat where Labour have no chance and the main danger is from an incompetent Lib Dem. I agonised about it but I felt I had to vote with my conscience. Maybe if I had been in a different constituency I woudl have done things differently.
A very good friend of mine is the UKIP candidate for Copeland. He says that the three candidates from the other parties are humourless screeching harpies. He seems to be doing rather well and it’s not impossible that could get elected. I designed most of his publicity material and people have bee actually asking for them as keepsakes as opposed to them being binned or thrown away.
I hope that he does get in because he has said that he wants me as his parliamentary aid. I hope that happens, it’ll make a change to be paid to be a bloody nuisance.
