A humorous way of highlighting voter apathy

On 30 May ‘Forever Beta’ created a party election broadcast for the CBA party. The acronym stands for Campaign to Banish Apathy. It’s a fake group representing the 15.9 million people who didn’t vote in the last election. This subversive campaign wants to get the population to the polls on 8 June, and notes that if the number of people who didn’t vote formed one party, it would be the biggest in the UK. The three-minute spot uses humour to highlight the absurdity of this fact. Their website informs the electorate why they should vote and where they can vote. We can pray for voters to be shaken out of apathy, and for Christian voters to put down their own preferences and listen to God’s Holy Spirit for direction.
