SleepyCatten<p>So, the Tories have proposed mandatory National Service at 18, involving either a <strong>YEAR</strong> of military service or volunteering an entire weekend once monthly?! 😲</p><p>Are they really this out of touch (yes) or are they intentionally trying to make fewer young people vote for them? </p><p>We're not complaining either way if it gets and keeps them out of power.</p><p>It just boggles our mind that someone might think this is a winning manifesto pledge.</p><p><a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/UKPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UKPol</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/UKPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UKPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/ToriesOut" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ToriesOut</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/NationalService" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NationalService</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/GeneralElection" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GeneralElection</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/GeneralElection2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GeneralElection2024</span></a></p>
SleepyCatten<p>We typically don't like to openly discuss or read about politics, not because we're unaware of events, but because we already have to be aware of a certain amount through our work, and too much overloads us.</p><p>However, as a general election has now been called in the UK, we will need to do our due diligence before we cast our vote.</p><p>Whilst our primary intention is to unseat our incumbent Tory scum, we will not vote for any transphobe, bigot, or genocide-apologist 🍉 🇵🇸 </p><p>For instance, if we lived in the constituency where Keir Starmer is standing, we'd likely be voting for the independent candidate (Andrew Feinstein) trying to oust him.</p><p>We're aware of websites like <a href="https://tacticalvote.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Tactical Vote</a> for helping with getting the Tories out, as well as <a href="https://whocanivotefor.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Who Can I Vote For?</a> to get some info on candidates.</p><p>However, what we're really looking for is a way to summarise the views, beliefs, and actions that each candidate has taken.</p><p>In the case of existing MPs, we can look at their voting records, yes, but it's not in a super accessible format.</p><p>e.g.,</p><ul><li><a href="https://votes.parliament.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">votes.parliament.uk/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></li><li><a href="https://www.theyworkforyou.com/mps/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">theyworkforyou.com/mps/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></li></ul><p>For the other candidates, we don't really know a good way that will not require hours of searching to vet each candidate before voting.</p><p>Any thoughts or suggestions? :PinkHeart:​</p><p><a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/UKPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UKPol</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/UKPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UKPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/GeneralElection" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GeneralElection</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/GeneralElection2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GeneralElection2024</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/ToriesOut" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ToriesOut</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FreePalestine</span></a></p>

SleepyCatten<p>I have successfully voted in the local election to oust a local Tory councillor ✊</p><p>As I have a postal vote, but hadn&#39;t filled in or posted it off due to running a spoon deficit, I filled that in there &amp; handed it over to them.</p><p>&amp;, of course, I got bleeping misgendered as a &quot;gentleman&quot; despite having my updated photo ID on me to hand it in 🙃</p><p>*screams silently into the void*</p><p><a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/ToriesOut" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ToriesOut</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/StopTheTories" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StopTheTories</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/LocalElections" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LocalElections</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/UKPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UKPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>trans</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/TransFem" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TransFem</span></a></p>
SleepyCatten<p>I was searching for a tactical voting website to get the Tories out in my area.
