    She's not thick, but politically unengaged.

    She is, however, as tight as a nun's chuff, so I'm gonna play the tax card on her as a final effort.

    Will her vote matter? I mean, I could vote Labour and it would make no difference at all; last time, they came second, about 45% behind.

    Like myself. I tried to get into it and in my typical selfish fashion the key issues are not wons that seem to really effect me.
    I am in a weird position of not being the poorest or poor but far from well off. This affordable housing stuff is not really something I would be eligible for. I don't have an opinion on minimum wage or benefits,

    I don't have kids so school issues I don't really get into, NHS stuff doesn't interest me though maybe it could at any point. I just want more money in my pocket.

    I blame the parents; they're the cause of all this

    Well surely people should vote on the things that effect them most there will be alot of people who don't earn much, might have kids at school etc, they will vote on the policy that might increase their wages most and who will give them free school meals.... not really a shock imo

    Hang on, though, f, because Caitlyn Moran's got some thoughts on how you ought to vote:

    Will these people never learn?

    This is what pisses me off the most. It was the same about brexit. These are the same people who demand fairness and democracy. But only if it goes their way it's cleverly designed to suggest if you don't agree with them you are either, sexist, racist, or now just a simple cund. They need to take a look at themselves and despite what they believe they are not the majority.

    They consider themselves to be a new aristocracy, f. They feel nothing except the most profound contempt for anyone who dares to dissent from their wishes. And that contempt is, at root, predicated on a visceral class hatred for those whose views, education, geographical location or income they feel puts them beneath their exalted status.
