lonemagpieAh, it’s that time when like so many of the celebs that people follow, I come on an encourage people to vote. Unlike the celebs, though, I never tell you *who* to vote for. Not least cos I’m convinced that none of them are fit or competent for the purpose. (And this time around, all of them are determined to criminalise bits of sexuality, endanger more women and kids, and censor the internet, because *all* would rather go with tabloid campaigns than scientific fact.)
Anyway, my advice, therefore, is very simple- don’t vote for a party or candidate because a celeb tells you it’s cool, or because a tabloid warns you of the consequences, or (especially) because of peer pressure or family tradition. Fuck that shit. Go and vote for who you think will do the best - or least-worst,anyway - job of it.
That’s the point of the exercise. Vote for who you like best or hate least, regardless of what anybody else says. Your vote is your vote, not your family’s, or your favourite star’s, or anyone else’s.
