People not bothering to vote for a simple reason: it doesn’t matter who they vote for because they get the same things whichever of the Lib-Lab-Con parties is in power. The same people complaining that there were no Tory candidates. But ask them if they would join a political party, donate to its funds, go to its branch meetings, or deliver leaflets for it, & they will look at you as though you are mad. They think democracy is a social service provided free of charge, effort, or obligation, & it’s NOT. Politicians don’t care if only 25% of people vote, it’s which party wins that matters. https://apple.news/AGceJL4oBSlyWF...
