00:00If I vote, what difference is it going to make to me?
00:04Nothing. I don't gain anything from voting.
00:07No matter whether it's Labour, no matter whether it's Conservative, I don't gain anything.
00:13I think when people are too concerned about what taxes they pay,
00:17they've got to look at the bigger picture and trust the government.
00:20At the moment, with politics where it is, I'm one of these people who have a disillusioned vote
00:24and I won't be voting for any of the parties because for the simple reason
00:28there's not one politician that says it as it is, there's not one politician that will tell you the truth.
00:33The reason I haven't voted in 75 years, which I will be in August,
00:38is because I'm fed up of listening to the false promises that they come out with.
00:43You know, I'm quite a positive person but I do genuinely feel the consensus is
00:47we've had enough, you know, we've had enough of being told one thing and not doing it
00:53or being told to do something and then somebody else is doing something completely different.
