I'm happy to report all of my family voted. For this election I chose not to read or listen to MSM for 6 weeks, read about the candidates in the constituency, and then voted for the person who seemed most willing to work for us, in the constituency. Uniparty did not feature.

Because the Worcestershyre location was strongly Blue, it remained Blue.

None of us voted Blue, but the returning MP had his vote cut from 30000 to 19000.

Now we can lobby the MP to work for the present - its his bloody job, after all - and build a better future with a better representative.

This is such an important article Miri.

I completely understand why people felt disillusioned prior to the election with the inevitability of a Labour landslide but not voting achieved nothing.

If the 40% that didn’t vote had instead voted for independent/freedom candidates it would obviously have made a difference.

We know that ‘normies’ are conditioned to only accept a red or blue govt but unless we can encourage people to ditch the main parties and vote for true independents, things will never change. As you say, what’s the alternative? Revolution? Who’s leading that, Neil Oliver??

I can appreciate the effort it takes to stand as a candidate, especially one that wants to make a difference, so we need to keep increasing their vote numbers otherwise they will obviously lose interest and think ‘what’s the point?’. David Kurten must feel demoralised after working tirelessly and standing up for freedom when it really mattered only for people to say things like ‘well I’m not taking part in this charade’.

We can only hope that the fact Labour will be so horrendous more people will vote next time.
