Thoughtful Vote?

I managed to interrupt my sister today, long enough to question why people vote Reform.  It is clear she, like others who read the Daily Express, a dying Right Wing paper, and watch BBC Scotland, run by the Unionist Labour Party, cannot understand why Reform is dangerous to the country.  In her Scottish constituency, a local council election recently saw a Reform man win.  I indicated what they stood for but she had no conception of this, she had read nothing, knew nothing about them, and like millions of others might be tempted to vote for them if she ever makes it to a polling booth.  It was clear she did not understand how the SNP, for all their many faults, have improved life in Scotland.  She was shocked to discover the English pay almost £10 for a proscription from a doctor, shocked to know0 how much more it costs to live in England, shocked re the free fares and benefits in Scotland do not exist in England.  Yet she will still vote as she has always done, with little thought. 

So many people simply accept what is offered on the main TV and radio channels, the daily papers, all based in England and mostly right wing, accepting what is offered and never questioning what they read.  There is no attempt to use social media for information, no seeking out others opinions, at best people like her merely discuss things of less value and leave politics up to others.  They then vote as they always have, unless a fancy bright shining star appears, but then return back to base.   

No wonder the liar Farage is winning.

By the way, Farage had a cancer, he lost a testicle because of this.  I can think of one other rabble rouser politician with one ball from times past.  Look how he ended up!
