He always does like its an obligation
No - I vote for the party I believe has the best policies. I might not like all of them but if they have more policies that I feel will benefit the country than other parties, then i will vote for them.

He believes Labour represents the working man and has a social responsibility.
Yes - I believe through out the years Labour has represented more of the population than others and has more social responsibility than the Tories.

Dont vote Labour.
I'm not going to say who you should vote for but one thing is certain, you should vote and you should vote for a party based on facts and not on mis-information like in the Meme above.  Always check the facts.
