Near Morning Star Towers, east Londoners yesterday were lining up at a cafe-cum-polling station to vote.
The Star ventured out to see what influenced their vote and discovered one clear and unifying message — to get the Tories out.
Sarah Karbowy, 27, said she’s spent her whole adult life under the Tories and wanted to see change. Aaron, 23, proclaimed that the Tories “are more of a business, a corporate company than a party.”
And reflecting on the most ridiculous moments of the election campaign, most notably Boris Johnson’s attempt to conceal himself in a fridge, Aaron exclaimed “I don’t understand how people are still voting for him!”
Ali Nazir, who has lived in Britain for 13 years, cited Tory attacks on the NHS, benefits system and students as his reasons to steer clear of the Conservative box on his ballot.
“The Tories are shameful,” he said. “Their manifesto would destroy the people in England.”
“I work with disabled people and I’ve seen how their lives have become immeasurably worse through 10 years of Tory rule,” Helen Clarke, a speech and language therapist, told the Star.
