I've never voted Tory in my life. Not because I'm a dyed in the wool Labour supporter but simply because I find many of their core principles
revolting.
I haven't voted Labour for some time now, I've tried to vote for an Independent who's opinions etc align more with mine than the major political
parties.
I had a letter from Sunak a few weeks ago seeking my opinion on various things. It was obviously addressed to me and I was asked to return the
questionnaire to some government body or possibly The Tory party itself, not sure now.
It went into the bin - no way was I going to put my name to something and end up on some sort of list, if I'm not already.
Not sure if that's me being paranoid or just cautious prudence.
Sunak and Starmer are the epitome of modern day politicians; endless stream of populist soundbites with no substance or vision.
Starmers goal is to become Prime Minister, he lacks any sort of visionary plan of what to do when he actually gets there. He fails to understand that
getting elected is only the start, the real work is what policies to implement when in office.
I'd consider voting Reform UK simply because I think they seem genuinely determined to start addressing the immigration issues we face along with some
of the resultant social issues we have.
They also seem to be more open and honest about their policies.
However, I strongly oppose many of their economic and financial proposals and domestic plans.
Maybe that's more of a reflection of my own conflicting and contradictory nature than anything else?
Come polling day unless there is an outstanding Independent candidate I suspect I'll be a None of The Above voter.....which is a shame and possibly
even a waste?
But a lot can change between now and then.....one thing is certain, I'll be giving Reform UK the consideration they deserve.
