Not in My Name: New Campaign Urging People Not to Vote on July 4th

by Ernest A
18 June 2024 1:00 PM

Are you tired of the same old party politics that have dominated our country for far too long? The Not in My Name campaign offers a vision for political reform.

The objective is clear: reduce voter turnout for the established parties – Labour, Tories, and the rest – to a mere 30%, sending a powerful message that 70% of the electorate is fed up with the current self-serving, anti-democratic system. If successful, this will pave the way for significant political reform, starting with a petition to the King, urging the establishment of a Royal Commission to devise a new, more democratic system.

Political parties have become parasites, living off the general population while fostering division and injustice. They thrive on partisanship, caring more about their own survival than the well-being of the nation. As stated in our campaign document, “Political parties are cancers, as they seek to insidiously impose their beliefs on those who, if it wasn’t for government compulsion, would have no truck with them.” It’s time to change this. As citizens, we should not demean ourselves by voting for parties that hold us in contempt.

The campaign document outlines 18 arguments against the current political system, from the undemocratic nature of party politics to the wasteful infighting that costs us all dearly. It highlights how small groups of party members make decisions for millions, leading to a lack of true representation – 170,000 Tories, 300,000 Labourites, and 90,000 Lib-Dems shouldn’t control 70 million lives.

The campaign calls for key reforms such as ending public subsidies for political parties, capping political donations and ensuring MPs vote according to their conscience rather than party lines.

If you want things to keep getting worse, then vote Labour or Tory or any of the rest – vote for those who have made things as they are. If you want change though, if you want things to get better, don’t vote!

But this is not just about not voting; it’s about reclaiming our democracy and insisting on a political system that truly serves the people.

Thank you for considering this proposal.

This is a bad sign when you see alignment across the political spectrum for very basic welfare provisions. I’m sure I don’t need to say that they don’t give a crap. Government largesse counts for nothing in times of genuine shortages and they are very much in the pipeline if you track staple food production and its reduction in terms of crop yields and concommitant rise in price. This is the stage that we are at and have you heard a peep about it?

It will be interesting to see how Farage will ensure that child benefit help “British families” rather than people who “come in and have a lot of kids”. A good thing if he can make it happen.

Stop wasting taxpayers money and you do not need to keep robbing them of their money. The DOGE is finding huge amounts of waste which the DemoTwats are fighting against as they and their friends are prospering from the corruption. With the money saved Donald can reduce taxes although the Far Left media keep ignoring this fact and claim Donald will ruin the US economy. The downgrade of the US credit rating from Moody’s is because they are run by a Far Left Trump hater and nothing more.

Dear Nigel,

bribing voters with their own money is part of the problem, not the solution. What about a Great Repeal Act, a proper Brexit and every quango scrapped?

Don’t forget no immigration and remigration.

Do you want to save the country or is Reform just vehicle for making you Prime Minister?

Re your last question, probably somewhere in between but maybe the best we can hope for. I guess I am what people call a minarchist but we are so far from arriving at that as a political philosophy that I have to accept the slim pickings that might arrive.

All these promises sound good, but don’t all politicians promise lots of things, and then abandon them after winning elections?

Look at the two people in the background of that photo above. On the right is the female magistrate keen on Third World Immigrants, looking downcast, and on the left is the Third World Immigrant looking… where is he looking, by the way? Try as I might, every time I see a photo of him, he reminds me of some kind of Deep Sea Fish that David Attenborough might discover lurking in the ocean depths…

Of course, and something Labour cannot understand, is that when Nut Zero is scrapped, the general cost-of-business significantly reduces, stimulating the economy across the board, especially heavy industry, steel, chemicals, etc. This has a big positive effect on not just tax revenue, but also reducing the social security bill, as real jobs are created.

But they can’t do it, because Greta and David Attenborough will be upset with them…
