Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced the next general election will take place on 4 July 2024.

Anyone on the electoral register aged 18 or over on polling day can vote in the general election. You'll need to be a British, Commonwealth or a Republic of Ireland citizen with a UK address.

So, will you vote or not in the upcoming election - and why?

Also let us know if it's your first time voting :smile:

They're all bad but if people dont turn up (especially young people) they will just take it that we are lazy and disinterested rather than disenfranchised. At least go and put a cross somewhere or spoil your ballot.

Local or general elections, I always vote because it's a hard-earned privilege and I respect the fact that I am free to do so.

I'm 17 so I can't lol

If I could, I'd probably either vote Lib Dem or spoil my ballot. I don't really fit in with either of the major parties because I'm quite socialist economically but I'm also a pretty socially conservative Catholic, so I'd vote for the party that's most likely to bring in PR which would help a party that lines up with my views succeed.

No.

I don't support any of the main political parties that are fielding GE candidates in England.
Nor the requirement to bring photoid or be prevented from voting that the idiotic Conservatives put in place during the Boris era.
I would never vote for any candidate from the Greens, Labour, the Lib Dems, Reform, Aspire or Galloway's Workers Party.

British politics is jungle of hungry wild beasts.
Infested with alligators, crocodiles, wasps, serpents and piranhas.
Bunch of grubby, opportunistic, preachy, lying grifters the lot of them.

Plenty of them incompetent fools with no morals and an obvious bros of the left/right/forever fratboys agenda.
Even more useless careerist jerks of either biological sex with little personal interest in the country beyond stuffing their claws and snouts as far down the swamp of expensive goodies as they can possibly manage.

I want to but it looks like someone else will have to do it on my behalf.

Father of two students here. PLEASE PLEASE vote, guys. There are many, many good people in politics, dedicated to improving lives for young people. Don't listen to cynics who say "they're all as bad as each other". Once there were only two universities, and only men could go there. Politics is the reason there are now hundreds of colleges and universities, open to all young people. Politics is the reason we have free healthcare. Politics means you are free to criticise the government. The alternative to a healthy democracy is far, far worse. So please register and VOTE!

They most certainly are NOT all bad. I suggest you meet some local activists.

Yes!!
Because I can’t really complain about the mess that is the country’s politics and the people involved if I haven’t even voted
(If that makes sense)

Yes, I've always voted. I'll be voting Labour to get rid of the Conservatives. They've destroyed the economy, public finances and our country. Life was better and things improved with Labour.

Definitely won't be voting for Tories or labour.

Hopefully Tories will be non existent in Scotland after the election and then the fight is between SNP and labour parties for majority of seats in Scotland.........

Of course. As much as I'd like to vote Green, right now it's anything to get the Tories out, and to do so Labour are the only way even though they're not ideal at the moment.

I recommend people who can vote, do, even if they don't like any of the main parties. It's a matter of preventing things getting worse.
