Demoralising the public into abstaining from voting is not a triumph for democracy or for England.

It undermines the very foundation of a free and fair society, creating a vicious cycle that erodes trust and empowers the worst elements of our political system.

The critical issue is this: those who did not vote are complicit in the outcome.

Over half of the eligible voters—54%—chose not to cast their ballots, despite significant efforts by political parties. Three parties alone spent £185,000 each, totalling £555,000, on direct election advertising across mainstream and nearly all alternative media platforms. Yet, this was not enough to motivate the majority. Questions must be asked about the integrity of the process itself. Why did Royal Mail feel so threatened by the English Constitution Party that they failed to deliver our leaflets? Why did their employees believe they were immune from election and tort law? Our members, supporters, the disabled, and retirees—among the most vulnerable in society—have been mistreated by state institutions. Pursuing justice through the courts will cost us £5,000, far more than the campaign itself. But to what end? The justice system appears as corrupt as the political one, with the separation of powers steadily eroded.

The heart of the problem lies with the demoralised non-voters. The 38,007 who stayed at home effectively handed victory to Reform. If their votes had been added to Reform’s count, the total would have reached 50,652. By abstaining, they ensured Reform’s win—not by a mere six-vote majority, but by a staggering 38,013. Non-voters, in essence, voted for the winner by default.

The state has systematically discouraged the majority from participating in elections, and proportional representation will not solve this fundamental issue. Our focus must not be on the loyal voters of established parties but on the demoralised and disenfranchised who feel abandoned by the system. The flaw in our democracy is clear: good people stay at home, while those driven by hate and division mobilise their supporters to the polls. This creates a downward spiral where only the worst candidates—those who thrive on fear and anger—are elected. Non-voters, by their absence, directly enable this outcome. Their inaction is a vote for complicity, allowing the worst individuals to rise to positions of power.

The demoralised have been co-opted into their own suffering, manipulated by a narcissistic system that preys on its victims. Non-voters are not merely passive; they are unwitting architects of their own demise. To break this cycle, we must awaken the disenfranchised and inspire them to reclaim their voice at the ballot box.

The system encourages abstention for a reason! They win - you lose!
