Voting for Brexit

[jimblob]

Yes spoiling the ballot paper is definitely an option I'd consider

Glue yourself to a campaign bus? (or William Wragg's front door)

For once I agree with amazon 😳

I take your point that people really ought to vote, but because of first past the post, if your preffered party/candidate isn't one of the two who can realistically win in your consituency, then it really makes no difference if you do or don't vote.

Depends if you have a ranking on those two that are in line.  A worst and a least worst.  If you equate both with the same value then no, it doesn't make a difference

Personally I would always implore people to spoil their ballot in that situation.  Because that is counted.  And if everyone in that situation spoiled their ballot, that would send a message. But not turning up, well that's just ignored.

2) Vote for the least worst option. At least you've done something.

I have voted in every election since the 1970 one that Ted Heath won and I have never been so disappointed and disillusioned by the quality of the parliamentarians we have today. None of them deserve our vote, they are all appalling.

You have three options:
1) Don't vote. If you take this one then you can have no complaints about the result has you've abnegated any responsibility. In my opinion, a coward's way out.
2) Vote for the least worst option. At least you've done something.
3) Do something about it. Join a political party that represents your views. If you can't find one, set one up yourself. There's never been an easier time in history to use instantaneous communications media that can reach billions of people in one go, as long as what you've got to say resonates with them.

Personally I wish there were compulsory voting. At least then people reap the consequences of their own actions instead of being able to sit back and complain and wash their hands of other people's decisions.

hes in london on that date

Well why would you be in your constituency during an election? 

You know what, he may have a valid excuse.  But he last election he was mysteriously ill for the whole thing, and frankly after that anything real just looks like the boy who cried wolf to me.  Especially when he's not the only one avoiding public scrutiny

Hustings only exist if someone organises them.  Obviously someone has organised one at Dialstone Lane Methodist Church.  It can be reached by getting the 384 bus then walking for 13 minutes according to Google.  It can be reached within 30 minutes.

No one has organised a hustings closer to Marple.  Although based on his form, it seems unlikely Wragg would deem it important to actually attend.

Only by some strange definition of local. It's almost four miles away. By local, I mean within easy walking distance of Marple town centre, as was the case in 2015.

What a bizarre location. I hope there will be something locally, as in 2015, when all the candidates were present at the hustings in Marple.
