General Election 2015 Conspiracy

So I believe that the General Election 2015 was rigged. Surely that many people could NOT have voted Conservative. It doesn't make sense. Do people really know what they are letting themselves in for?! Already, within a few days of having a Tory government there is talk of scrapping the Human Rights Act 1998 and replacing it with the 'British Bill of Rights' which sounds 1. Not half as good as it does not have the word 'human' in it, so are we going to be treated as animals rather than humans? and 2. Racist. 'British' bill of rights - sounds suspiciously racist to me! The new Conservative Ministers are also sounding absolutely amazing with:

• The new Tory Disabilities Minister Justin Tomlinson who voted against protecting disabled child benefits.
• The new Tory Equalities Minister Caroline Dinenage who voted against gay marriage.
• The new Tory Justice Minister Michael Gove (previously Education Minister) who supports hanging.
• The Tory Education Minister has stayed as Nicky Morgan which teachers aren't happy about.

So, so far Mr Cameron is doing very well.

Anyway back to the Conspiracy. This General Election was the first time I have voted in a General Election (or any election) due to now being old enough and I was very surprised, shocked and dismayed to see that the ballot papers were given out with pencils rather than pens to fill out. I smelt a rat. A huge, smelly, stinking rat. Why were we given pencils? Pencil marking can easily be rubbed out and replaced with (obviously) a cross in the terrible Tory box.

I used my girlfriend's pen so I felt better about my own vote (if it was even counted as it was in pen) but what about everyone else's'?

I've heard reasons why the ballot papers are given out with pencils, such as:

• It costs less to provide pencils rather than pens
• Pens run out but pencils don't (well, eventually they do!)
• Pen marking can run in wet weather but pencil won't
• It doesn't matter if they are marked in pencil as the paper is thin so if someone were to rub out the marking it would still be visible.....really?! (The paper wasn't THAT thin!)
• Don't worry - there are people keeping watch and making sure it all stays legal/unrigged. Like politics is all legal and fair. No, it is totally corrupt!

So I will end on the note that I believe there is some kind of Tory Conspiracy and the election was rigged and we are under rule of a deceitful government. Fun times! 

Why I'm Voting For The Labour Party

Because I believe in a fair and equal society. Because I believe in making the future safe for our country and because the young people of our generation deserve a happy and stable future. The Conservatives just cut down everything they could and if they stay in power for another 5 years then I believe we will no doubt lose our NHS as we know it. It has already leaked out that the Lib Dems and Conservatives would increase higher education tuition fees further, I don't understand how £9000 a year isn't enough! Higher education should be free or at least realistically affordable. I am going to be in about £40,000 in debt after my degree....how is this fair? I just wanted to go to university to build myself a more promising future. Most of my generation will never be able to own a house due to the extortionate prices. We have been set up to fail. Lib Dem and Conservatives have also admitted they will make cuts to welfare for the sick, young, poor and disabled. So that's everyone but the privileged few again. Labour created the NHS and they created the minimum wage which they want to increase. They will scrap zero hour contracts. Vote for a fair and equal society, vote for Labour. If you think your vote won't count and is just one more vote and doesn't really add up, think again, yours could be the one vote that determines whether we have a Tory or Labour government for the next five years. If you are women considering whether to vote or not, remember women died for your vote! You owe it to them to do so. Don't be lazy and shrug off politics and say "They're all the same, they all promise and never live up to their promises" but it is about voting for the lesser of the evils if you think of it in that way. Vote for Britain's equal and successful future, for our NHS, which let's face it - most people use it at some point in their lives, even the privileged few. Vote for the hope of the future.....vote for Labour.
