My sister's voting Labour - not a good sign

[Burney]

Lives in a predominantly white working class town and voted to leave the EU. Should in theory be a text-book example of someone deserting Labour. And yet....

Thinks Corbyn "seems like a nice bloke" and has been heavily influenced by endless Facebook memes about the Tories making cuts to public services and selling arms to Saudi Arabia. The depicting of Corbyn as a terrorist sympathiser has simply not cut through at all.

I'm back to being scared

You really are a terrible bedwetter, aren't you?

Have you pointed out Labour's record of anti-semitism to your sister?

Yes, but she's been convinced (mainly by social media) that they're all as bad as each other on that kind of stuff, and so she's voting for the best of a bad bunch, which happen to be the chaps who seem to care more about the poor and disadvantaged and are promising to chuck money at public services.

I hate to say this, m, but your sister sounds...well...a bit thick.

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

and when I received the Labour leaflet through the door none of main points mentioned really effected me currently.
