That’s apparently not true, since the majority of you did vote for them.

I mean, I know how hard it sucks to have that keep happening. I know the only thing worse than having a shit Government is knowing that your idiot countrymen actually want it.

Only a third of people that voted did so for Labour. Out of people able to vote, just under 60% actually voted. To a lot of people I think our most recent election can very much be summed up by “Well these choices are shit”.

Fun fact, Conservatives and LibDem combined got a greater voter turnout than Labour.

It wasn’t the majority of us because I don’t even think we barely made it over the majority of people registered to vote, to actually vote.

Same goes for brexit, (number out of my arse but) I think about 30+% didn’t vote either way, yet they treat it like the majority of the country overall wanted it.

Plus the current government were only voted in to stop a worse one from continuing, and they seem to be going back on the principals both what they campaigned for as well as what the party has been historically known for.

    You can’t choose to not choose. Not choosing is a choice.

  Voter dissatisfaction is likely going up, given the amount of people not voting at all increased a lot in the last election. More people didn’t vote than voted for labour.
