??LetMeBeFrank: Nailing my colours to the post - why i'm voting for Labour

Ok, I have to admit, I have voter fatigue. Now, living in a democracy, I shouldn't be really feeling this, right? I should be thankful that I can vote as opposed to having no voting privileges because I live in a dictator led country.

I am thankful.

However, when that numpty, David William Donald Cameron decided to gamble people's lives, wealth and community - ALL-IN - with the 'should I stay or should I go' referendum of Brexit, that's when my fatigue started.

I was recently at a talk about insights of our government's thinking about Brexit, the dude leading the chat mentioned, why would you put something so important and complex, in the hands of a single person who could tip the scale - the side with the most votes wins. But that's our politics.

Now look at the mess we're in. Uncertainty, in-fighting, division, the list goes on. But it's our mess, and Brexit is happening. We have choice to choose what type of Brexit (like eggs) we prefer, Hard or Soft - and no one really likes hard boiled eggs now.

I hate Theresa May's 'will of the people' (51.9% to 48.1% - 15.6m vs 14.4m voters respectively) argument, that the voting is in and we all just need to get in line now because we shouldn't challenge this 'will'. Based on these numbers the difference was down to only 1.2 million people (just 4% of 30 million voters) deciding to choose Leave and swing it towards Brexit. That's not quite the 'will of the people' now is it Theresa.

It comes down to a matter of trust

The fact of the matter is I just don't trust Theresa May nor the CONservative party. However, I do trust the mantra of the Labour party (and yes Jezzer), 'For the many, not the few.' Our country is mostly made up of the many. The time of the few, needs to come to an end, or at least for the wealth to be fairly distributed within the country, to make Britain Great Again (thanks Trump!)

Theresa May has shown herself to be a massive constant u-turner.

From...

• being a Remainer, u-turning into a Hard Leaver (wtf?!)
• increasing NI contributions for the self-employed (which they had pledged not to do in their previous manifesto), then u-turning that around, because it wasn't publicly popular - no sh1t!
• agreeing to take in 3,000 refugee children - 'the Dubs amendments', and u-turning that around to just agreeing to accept 350
• introducing foreign worker quotas, then immediately following this with humble u-turn pie by scrapping it
• I won't be calling a snap election, u-flipping-flopping-turn, 8th June snap election!
• and most recently, social care benefits where the Trojan Tory's wanted to target dead people's wealth, u-turned to ensure that it was capped, rather than unlimited wealth grabbing!

This is just a snippet of things so far. It's also not strong nor stable leadership. Remember the guy across The Pond who's a lover of flip-flopping?

And to top it all off, Theresa decided to talk about a Commons vote to rescind the fox-hunting ban as one of the first things top of mind before she released her manifesto. Out of all of the things most important for the country, mentioning this side note, long forgotten by most, she surfaced it. The audience of course that she's trying to appeal to is the rich, the elitist, the haves, the few!

Her robotic soundbite approach to presenting is also very odd. Someone who's not confident in her own manifesto to make her translation of it genuine and honest - "Strong and stable"; "I'm very clear"; Jeremy is negative this and negative that.

I just don't trust her. A Maggie wannabe woman who gets into arguments with our European neighbours who she invited to her own dinner party, while trying to build relationships. And is now on course to push us into a Hard Brexit or no Brexit deal at all, is pretty terrifying.

"I'm voting Labour, not because Jeremy Corbyn is the best leader this country could have, nor that I agree 100% with everything in the Labour manifesto, but because I trust Labour more than I do the CONservatives. I trust Labour to be good for the many, and not the few."

Whatever you decide, please vote on Thursday 8th June for a better tomorrow, not just for yourself, but for the future generations to come.
