Sigh. It almost makes one wish for the (rather mythical) Good Old Days - when King Charles could have ordered that the current wretched lot of politicians be drawn & quartered. With their replacements given front-row seats at the spectacle, "as a sign of the King's favor". And reminder that they'd best prove worthy of said royal favor.

Well I'd settle for the good old days when it wasn't just old people that voted, or the good old days when a party had the good grace to implode whilst out of power, or the good old days when Europe was the Tories whipping boy rather than its own party. Id even settle for the good old days when Johnson wasn't still seen as a viable candidate. Still!

It's hard as a Millenial or Zoomer to believe your vote counts. I would say it is delusional. In my 35 years, living in two countries (Italy and UK) I have never experienced a government that wasn't deep dysfunctional and rotten to the core.

Not even one.

Older people keep saying my vote counts and this politician will fix all the issues, and I just want to laugh in their face. The younger people from the zoomer generation from what I understand have just given up. What even is the point?

I don't buy that argument. The Brexit vote was single issue, and young people still didn't go out to vote.

By not voting you just make the problems worse
