Would you trust someone who supports Genocide to help you with your local issues?
When it comes to elections, it's essential to understand what drives people to cast their votes. For many, key issues like the NHS, immigration, the EU, taxation, and the environment take center stage. However, sometimes local concerns, such as the closure of essential facilities like A&E departments or industries like steel plants, become decisive factors.
Interestingly, individuals may hold strong opinions on various matters, yet these opinions might not sway their vote significantly. Take, for instance, the Iraq war during Tony Blair's tenure, where despite widespread dissent, his party still secured a majority.
Consider this: In the U.S., while there's widespread support for stricter gun control laws, it's not always a make-or-break issue for the majority of voters. Politicians pay attention to the minority because it is a vote deciding issue and therefore don't change the rules on guns.
Then you have another section of society, it's crucial to acknowledge that many individuals with strong opinions choose not to vote, effectively removing themselves from the democratic process. It's akin to trying to alter the wind outside by shutting your own windows.
Now, imagine if Gaza and Palestine became pivotal issues in elections, with those considering these issues as crucial also being active voters. In such a scenario, their voices would hold significant weight and could catalyze real change.
Your vote matters, if your local candidate refused to call for a ceasefire during a genocide, do you really think they would support you or your local community on any serious issues? Think, vote for Gaza, vote for human rights, vote for your life.
