MEE Speaks to UK Voters Ahead of 2024 General Election

MEE speaks to UK voters in London ahead of the upcoming UK general election on the 4th of July, 2024.
With the election just days away, the UK may be set on course for a vote in which Keir Starmer’s Labour Party is the frontrunner to form the next government.
"Now is the moment for Britain to choose its future," Rishi Sunak said in his speech delivered in driving rain outside 10 Downing Street, on the 22nd of May.

Vote Reform.

[@joni3345]

That woman who said about the “Gaza war”…maam you’re voting for YOUR country 😂 you’re one of the problems why this country is in this state. Put UK first!

[@georgerobartes2008]

The woman's brain damaged from the chaos created by the Blair Brown government that sent UK to war and economic collapse in 2008 .

[@bad209]

she is actully right. i dont know if you know labour and conservative and reform say Israel first. so I don't know what your talking about. calling to stop Israel doesn't mean she is not UK first. politicians are making UK on the back foot. Besides UK is vessel state that follows the whims of US of A. So your the problem. based on your response. if people like you that have voted for people like tories that have made UK a shell of what it was by voting for people who don't stand on principals.

[@sovkhan4359]

@@bad209there are very pressing issues in THIS country and you wish to distract everyone from their own lives for the sake of a mediocre war 3000 miles away? Listen to yourself speak, we have people who cannot get appointments from doctors, housing it at an all time low due to mass immigration and lack of building more houses, wages are low in comparison to inflation and a military that is stripped bone-dry, but ok let’s focus on saving millions of sheep herders in the middle of a barren desert. If you cannot help yourselves, how can you begin to help others? 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@joni3345]

@@bad209 first of all, learn how to spell. Second of all. Your argument does not make sense. This is the UK. Not Gaza. Even if the UK sends money to support Israel in the war, it is NOT a priority for the UK so why should it be a priority for someone’s voting conditions?

"I don't think I've got any right to vote if I don't understand what they're talking about." This is why I maintain that - at the very least - lessons in basic politics and economics should be mandatory in schools. She's right - it's so important to know what you're voting for. I find it deeply worrying to think that so many people don't understand.

This is the immigration election. All of our problems are a consequence of mass immigration which is totally unsustainable. Neither of the main parties will leave the ECHR and will continue to be dictated to by a foreign court. Our borders are breached by thousands a month, 700,000 people came here last year alone. It is a huge cash drain on our economy, nationally and locally. We have rising violence on our streets, racial and religious tensions on our streets and now our politics being entered by Islamic ideology. We have woke ideology invading our lives, our freedom of speech under attack, we have electoral bias by our media, the MSM informing the public that all is well when if you scratch the surface and actually see what immigration is doing, we must be mad to allow it to continue at these levels.

Sadly there are a lot of people who just struggle to understand the concept of basic politics. This is because some just are not interested in doing some basic research about what goes on around them on the domestic front but also Worldwide. People, especially the 18 - 30 aged bracket have other priorities. Politics is an important aspect of your life. The party you vote for will affect your personal and working life, so you only get that chance on polling day.

God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis amongs, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967716649494 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger.
