Much as I would like to believe that this general election could result in a change of government, it sadly looks fairly unlikely. However, I truly believe that actually voting has never been more important. 

Even if we can’t change the government, let’s go out and cast votes for candidates who want things to be different. Candidates who believe in diversity and co-operation rather than division and hate. Candidates who believe in fair and progressive taxation used to ensure that everyone has access to the help and support they need. Candidates who are passionate about opposing cuts to, and privatisation of, education, the NHS, social care and benefits. Candidates who know that doing everything possible to halt climate change is the only way to ensure a future for our children and grandchildren.

Vote for positivity and hope rather than negativity and fear. But, most of all, vote.
