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.
Thanks Andrew, glad to hear. And it is a key point that you make that is often missed (not least by MPs themselves...) that they work for us whether we voted for them (or for anyone) or not. I certainly intend to remind my now-MP of this frequently and hold her closely to account.
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.
Thank you, Mick, and you are absolutely right in all you say.
You're so right about David Kurten - a legitimately lovely guy and tireless hard worker - and how insulting it is to him how so many in the freedom movement just blithely dismiss his efforts with their "it's all rigged anyway" claptrap (whilst they sit at home doing nothing). David's been a politician for years, if he thought there was any remote chance it was "all rigged anyway", why would he be putting such phenomenal effort into challenging the system politically?
That's my hope about Labour too - that if anything can shake people out of their not voting apathy, the utter tyranny Labour will unleash, will.
Thank you, Explorer, and you are absolutely right. Sadly what we are up against with the "don't vote" psy-op is going to be as hard or harder to overcome than the Covid one. But I do like a challenge - !
I have to disagree Miri. You are basing your views on the assumption that vote counts and outcomes are legitimate. Voting is validating, in so far as this charade is concerned. Outcomes are predetermined.
Bill, you are just repeating the soundbites my article has refuted in great detail. If you believe our votes don't count and the outcome is predetermined, then please provide some actual evidence for this. Simply asserting beliefs without evidence isn't, I'm afraid, good enough.
At no point have I "legitimised" the system. I have explained what the system is, and how we counter it. As I have said in the article: if you have a better solution (an actual practical one that you can describe and people can actively adopt) please share it.
Miri, I’m sure that if I had hard evidence, I wouldn’t be alive long enough to show it. Circumstantial evidence is abundant. For example, how do all WEF alumni become national leaders? Why have party leaders never lost their seat when their party is elected? How do despised politicians get re-elected for mayoral or prime ministerial posts (Saddiq Khan, Justin Trudeau, Macron etc). These things are not left to chance and mathematical probability makes that clear to me.
I don’t have a solution, but I would suggest that knowing who is actually running the country would be preferable to voting for an actor we’re supposed to believe is going to run the country.
That said, I am of the opinion that those running the country, run all countries, at least those with a privately owned central bank.
The difficulty expressed here is a well organised political party that not only campaigns but delivers wins. Reform did well to get 5 MPs in, but consider how close they came in the present system to getting more.
Perhaps as you explain, independents, shorn of cynical Uniparty machinery, are inherently more honest. Above all, we, the public, should vote.
It’s impossible for me not to be cynical when I can see the script has already been written for the role Reform are going to be playing between now and the next election. They are the establishment’s pressure relief valve playing the role of outsiders & they will fool many millions of people in to thinking they have some agency. What chance will true independents have in 4-5 years time when Reform are a better organised genuine looking alternative to the red & blue uniparty?
Makes me laugh at how often I read the 'I don't own or watch a TV' comments across the internet; yet you know they are all sitting there all day on the internet being fed even worse mind control.
I agree with much of what you say but at a national election with FPTP, voting is a futile exercise, just look at what pantomime fake freedom Reform’s substantial national vote share achieved. Local elections are a different matter
Agreed, voting was advisable if there was an independent who shows some policy daylight between the UniParty. In most cases I suggest there was no such credible candidate. Sadly Heritage Party just couldn’t field enough candidates through lack of resources. This explains in part the abstentions. For the most part however people are just apathetic and will remain so until motivated by a false step by those in charge of the narrative. Perhaps then they will have their poll tax moment. Until then I cannot see change through a voting system. If people aren’t awake now then it needs a massive jolt to wake them up.

This is such an important article Miri.

I suggest disaster will be so severe we shall have to act way before 2029. Try 2025..... and no, Uniparty does not get to go yet again.
Thank you, Wise Woman, for challenging the widespread gullibility and passivity! There is SO MUCH reality aversion out here!!

Excellent! ☝️ wise words.. and I didn’t bother voting last time around. Your previous article prompted me to register. Thank you.
