Our anti-democratic "First past the post" electoral system carries a lot of the blame. For so many people it doesn't matter how they vote - it cannot make a difference. Bring in PR and every vote will count.
There is more to the apathy crisis than politics……. I would argue that a lot of it is driven by technology and an increasingly fast paced world with limited options/outsourcing of our brains.
It doesn't help that we voted for changed in 2024, for grown up politics and we got a cowardly asshole who carried on, basically, with the Tory policies and Reform rhetoric, which had already torn the country apart and ripped up the social contract.
